Default New guy here looking for guidance

Hello guys this is my first post and looking to get my first boat this coming summer. Looking for something to go to Vermilion bay, White lake and other places like Mermentau river and Henderson area. So salt water and fresh water fishing. The boat i have in mind is the Triton 22LTS. My question is this a boat good for a first timer or should like look at others. I dont want to buy a boat I will out grow or regret buying. Thanks in advance guys

You will never regret that purchase. Unless you want a 24

That is an awesome boat for a first timer. Might be a little big for a 1st time boat but will be able to do anything you want in that boat. Very stable, dry, and versatile for fishing.

If your looking at 22' Boats trust me just go ahead and get a 24'

But Triton is a great boat, hell of a starter boat you will love it

There is a guy selling a used 22 LTS in the classifieds on here. It is a very nice boat and well taken care of. I have a 24LTS and dont ever wish I had anything else.

If buying a 22 then frontier is a great place to start. If buying a triton buy a 24lts. A little more money for a lot more boat!!

Triton makes a good bay boat. If you're looking to stay around the 22ft margin, check out the BlackJacks too. Big for a "22", fast, extremely dry, great layout.

I would look at blazer, blue wave purebay, blackjack, and frontier too If I were you. Haynies are great boats but in my opinion the price is too high for a rolled edge boat. Plus if you're buying new you don't want to have to wait fourmonths for your new boat to be finished. And if you buy used most the time it's a guide boat so has been ragged out
