Triton TA 196 - Finally purchased one
Good Day Everyone:
Thought I would publicly state how much I appreciate Richard Williams, Russ Bailey and William Braswell for letting us know on this forum about their Triton boats. After many emails and pm answered willingly by members of this forum I finally purchased the boat I have been looking for since March. I looked throughout the state of Texas and absolutely could not find one boat. I visited with various boat dealers from out of state and finally found a twice used boat in Warsaw, Missouri at Pro's Choice Marine. The person that originally bought the boat wanted to go back to a bass boat and took the Optimax that was on the boat so I purchased a new 150 h.p. Optimax to put on the boat and the boat doesn't have a scratch on it. Man, the first owner took a kick in the pants is all I got to say.
Hope to put it in the water today. Pro's Choice stated they had sold over 35 of the TA196's in the last two years of course they have Truman and Lake of the Ozarks sitting on their doorsteps. You might give them a periodic look if you are interested in Rangers or Tritons. Website is www.proschoicemarine.com. Who knows some of these previous bought boats may be traded in and a used one could be found. Pro's Choice said alot of guides in their area had the TA196.
Again, thanks to Richard, Russ, and Bill.
Man was it beautiful in Missouri with snow amongst all the trees, but very sorry for the damage that was done to the many roofs in that area. You guys in Missori are sure lucky and must be proud to have such a beautiful area to fish in.
Regards,
Mud-Dabber

The Best Guide Boat On The Market!!
I have been fishing with this boat for about 5 months and its the best rig on the market! I had 125 pounds of lead put in the front of mine to keep the nose down in the water for spider rigging. I talk to the Triton guys at our last Pro-Staff meeting last week and I hope there planning on rigging a 20 or 21 footers in the future. here are some pictures of mine!
