Thinking about buying a triumph 190 bay for saltwater usage. The price is very affordable. Any opinions about these polyethylene boats? They claim they are indestructible.<br />It will come with a Suzuki 4 stroke 140 hp engine. Can any one tell me if Suzuki makes good or bad engines.

Re: triumph boats

My wife and I wanted a boat that would be at home on inland lakes, but also would be a good safe boat in the North Carolina waterways at the beach. I looked at boats for about two months, and always came back to the Triumph line. I purchased a 170 Center Console about 2 weeks ago. We love the boat. It rides good, has a shallow draft, and does not take a large motor to get the job done. The Triumph line of boats are as tough as they are advertised. Yes, I actually did get to hit one with a sledge hammer. Our first day out in the boat, we bumped a floating dock due to some rough water. Not as much as a scratch on the boat. <br /><br />I'm well pleased with the boat. It's not for everybody though. It doesn't have the glossy smooth finish of gel-coat, but I don't really care. I see it as less maintenance.<br /><br />I can truthfully say that I would recommend Triumph.<br /><br />Don't know much about Suzuki engines. Yamaha is the big brand in my neck of the woods. I will say though, that my son has had a Suzuki dirt bike for about 2 years, never had any trouble with it. Runs like a scalded dog.
