Just bought it!

I just bought a new to me Triton SF-18. It's not even remotely close what I was looking for, but I couldn't pass it up. It doesn't run shallow, isn't center console, but it's very clean and is fairly fast. Dropped it off on Monday to the shop and they are changing plugs, fuel lines, lower unit oil, water pump, and doing a carb job on it. Can't wait to get it out on the water! :D

I had a similar style boat and the only thing I didn't like to do out of it was run crab nets. Have fun with it, looks nice.

Congrats on the new sled. Looks very well taken care of. Im sure you already know this but be sure to wash that thing off EVERY time you put it in saltwater. That trailer wont last long otherwise.

Is that some kind of reflection on the starboard side towards the bow?

Swlatiger 08-08-2012 12:36 PM

Thanks- It's never seen saltwater yet... it's a 2000, bought it from a guy that didn't live near the coast and the lakes that he frequented in South Texas all have been too low for the last several years...

Something like that...;) I smudged the #'s... not reallys sure why, just always see other folks do that when they post pics of boats or vehicles...

I'm a sucker for a good a deal. My wife REALLY liked it and it will do just about all of what I was wanting anyway. So I figured if I can talk her in to coming with me once in a while I'll have a better excuse to go!:cool:

Looks to be a nice boat.

The trailer looks to be painted, if it is and not galvanized or aluminum, it will not last long in salt water. Just an FYI.

Nice rig

Sweet rig. I was looking for something like that myself but they are hard to find. I ended up with a 19' sea pro. Part of me wishes I would have held out for what you got. They are very versatile. Enjoy!
