Dang Score...I left mine at Lake Talquin last weekend...I hope you do find someone that can show you one my friend...They are nice boats.:D
Is there anyone close to Atlanta, Ga that owns a Triton TA 196? I'm thinking about buying one but haven't been able to see one up close. I'd like to take a ride in one before I start making payments on one for half my life( or so it seems). It would be even better if I could go fishing on one to see how someone else rigs them up.
To heck with work, lets go fishing.

yes monk has one. Thought about buying one also. There is a dealer I think down in Perry that sells them but I was unable to find one up here in our neck of the woods. I know Russ from Midwest Crappie has one and gets a new one every year from Triton. Maybe you could contact him and see if you could buy his when he gets his new one. I think he dumps it off for half the price of a new one. I know he is planning on fishing Weiss this Nov with a guide friend of mine and is towing his boat down there. I hope to maybe meet him and look at that sweet ride. But is is a far MAYBE
I went to the dealer in Perry, Ga. this weekend. They were supposed to be checking on the availability of a TA-196 for me. I just got a phone call from them and this boat has been discontinued. Looks like 08 is the last year. I'm not sure which way I'm going to go now. I don't really want to pay the higher interest rates of a used boat. Guess I'm going to have to find something different.

That is a dang shame that they are discontinuing that boat. I had my wife talked into a new boat and She pretty much lets me make the decision on what boat because she knows I will be the one using it most of the time. But She has been telling me for a couple years now that I need a new boat. I told her to figure the money out and I would get the Triton. It will be another year probably before I can do it but I don't think I'll be getting the 196. Will have to find another make that I can work with.CF

You Are Right. A New 06 Sold Today Is On The Blue Books For Current Value. However, If You Plan To Keep The Boat For Many Years, It Makes No Difference Years From Now.
