Default 2007 triton 22 LTS... Possible purchase.

I'm looking at a triton 22 LTS with a 250 Pro XS. The engine has 267 hours on it and from the pictures the boat looks clean.

Here is the skinny on her...

runs around 55-56 average load.
Also included is 101lb 36v motorguide
8' power pole
Hydro-jacker jack plate
Led running lights, red led courtesy lights in cockpit, rod lockers, and anchor locker, 3 blue underwater LEDs, and a blue lit release well
All 4 battery's are 18months old
Twin lowrance 10.4" nav/sonar units networked one was just internally rebuilt by lowrance
New bearings,races,seals and all four tires on the trailer
New water pump impeller, spark plugs, and gear case lube
New VHF and antenna
4 rod holder in each gunnel, plus 3 in leaning post, 8 in console and 8 under gunnel
New airmar transducer
Armstrong boarding ladder
Approx. 267. Hours
According to Marty at triton this is a one off color combination of midnight blue keel, yellow sides and white interior it is NOT bottom paint. The boat was originally built for one of tritons pro team members.
Boat is in excellent shape!





What do y'all think? he will meet me part of the way. The boat is around 12 hours away from me.

I would drive the 12hrs take it for a test ride and pull it to a mechanic shop and get it checked out. The headache of avoiding a bad motor, faulty wiring, or cracked transom are worth the extra 6 hr drive. Tritons are great boats though

Is that bottom paint on it.

Boat looks clean, has a good electronics package looks to be in excellent shape. I would call a marine surveyor in his his area and get it surveyed. That's the price of a plane ticket/gas there and your time. If everything checks out buy it.

Not a bad idea.

Actually it is not bottom paint. It's gel coat.
