    18' Triton Bay Flight on 5 Starr WR Trailer (is this setup okay?)

    Boat: 2000 Triton Bay Flight 18' (18DV) Trailer: 18' 5 Starr Wobble Roller I purchased this boat last year. When I got it, the wobble rollers all around were about 2.5" further out, and the boat sat lower on the trailer. Well, the issue was the front outside rollers hit front strakes, and put...

    18' Triton Trailer Setup

    Hi everyone, so I have found varying articles that say tongue weight should be 6%, 7%, and 10% of total weight (boat, fuel, motor, trailer) for tongue weight. I just got done installing a new 3500LBS axle and hubs. Tires are ST175/80D13 each side of trailer axle and tires rated around 1650lbs...

    Triton bay flight rod holder feedback.

    I added two t bars to the gunwale in my boat. Mounted using same type of screws the factory ladder/cleats were all using. Drilled a few pilot holes to match the screw “body” but smaller than the threads so that they would bite. Removed and sealed with 4200. Used #14 1.5” coarse screws for the...

    Triton bay flight rear seat / box

    I recently acquired a 18’ triton bay flight. Awesome boat. I have seen some similar model tritons with a box in the rear on each side, I was curious if I could buy anything similar? Or would I need to build it? I do have a bit of glass experience but would rather just find something pre made...

    Custom "Princess" Bow Cushion

    Any ideas where I can buy a generic snap cushions somewhat shaped like my bow? Or where I can buy foam, upholstery? I'd rather not do it myself. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit, but would like it close so the snaps don't get in the way, or would Velcro be a better option? Also interested in...

    Triton 18ft Roller Trailer Alignment Question

    Just picked up a 2000 model Triton 18' Bay Flight. Was crooked when I purchased it. Put it in the water and loaded it on trailer, it went on straight; but I noticed two things I have a question about. 1) On front, two roller sit on strakes, see photos. Is this an issue? 2) Through hull fitting...

    Hi everyone. So I purchased this boat last year and rode it all summer. Cut up a small section of rotten floor, patched it and kept on riding. Fast forward to around two months or so ago. I cut up the entire floor. Found rotten stringers (partially). So, I dug out / shop vacced the rot, and let...

    Inspection Cover Location... 19ft Stingray 1981

    I recently acquired a 19ft stingray, I know there is some rot on the back left and I repaired and put new floor down as a patch job to try and get through the summer. Everywhere else in the deck is solid. I have a 4" inspection cover that I would like to place somewhere towards the middle of...

    Roller on strake...

    I loaded my boat yesterday and drove home about 20 minutes. I noticed today the strake is sitting on the roller, this is near the back and barley on it . I know it shouldn't be here, and will take care to not let this happen again but is it likely that any damage has occurred? All other rollers...

    Water trapped under floor?

    I recently picked up a 1981 19ft stingray boat. 120HP Mercruiser I/O. Transom is solid, all original interior. No flex when on the water, no damage, just "normal wear and tear". I have experience repairing boats and have a pretty good understanding of boats in general. I have been unable to...
