Roger Hunter Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 This is my 2007 Triumph 195DC, a 20 foot Deep hull fish & Ski. We bought this boat because we wanted something that would be useful for fun activities like skiing and tubing and we wanted to fish too. We take it to the beach at least once a year and we needed a Sea Worthy craft so that over rides the bass boat. This one has handled 6 foot seas a couple of times and never missed a lick. Equipment: 150 Yamaha 4 cycle, 6 rod holders, Min kota 52 lb. thrust troll (Not Pictured), LOWRANCE LMS-522C iGPS, Midland Marine VHF w/GPS capable, Lenco Trim Tabs, Live well and builtin coolers x2. The 2 rear seats lift out to give more room in the rear to fish! Best thing about this boat is that it cleans up so easy after a bloody day on the ocean and has plenty of room to move around. Has a draft of 16 inches so I can still get in pretty shallow waters. Quote
Roger Hunter Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I need a boat :'(.So many times i have looked and thought "If only i had a boat..." I know a good dealer here in Charlotte that will sell you one. Probably real good deal with the current conditions! 1 Quote
Roger Hunter Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Great boat. I had one like that for a couple of years until I loaned it to my bestest friend and it go gone. Got gone never returned. I guess someone needed it worse than I did. Insurance helped me get another one that was smaller. Older and a pain in the butt. I sold it and got a pontoon and now my Triumph. Anyway, I love your boat! Does it have a drawing of a island with a palm tree on the wall just to the starboard side of the transom? If it does call the Police and report it as a stolen craft!! If not then enjoy! ;D ;D Quote
Super User Micro Posted January 19, 2009 Super User Posted January 19, 2009 We don't have big TVA sized reservoirs around here. I fish smaller electric-only lakes, tidal creeks and rivers and swampy lakes. My ride works great in those places. This is an older photo. I've removed that dumb back seat and decked and carpeted the rear bench. Quote
Roger Hunter Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Wow, Those are all great looking boats. I think the all electric boats are cool. It is good they have good optiond for those places that limit access of gas engines. The others are great too. Thansk for sharing! Quote
