Who makes the better boat? I’ve only been in the Blazer and need some advice from you fellas that know.

If it were me I’m probably opting for the Triton. I do like the rolled gunnel versions of the Blazer Bays

I have owned a Triton 240 since 2012. They are hard to beat in their class. The 220 is going to be very similar. It is a little heavier boat that rides smooth and dry in heavy chop. What year are you looking at?

That 22 Blazer is a very light boat and you will take an arse whoppin in a 2’ bay chop. As the other poster said I recommend a heavier bay boat. I had the Blazer 2170 and have lived it.
I now run a Robalo 246 Cayman with the 2nd station on Top. It’s a heavy boat and can walk across a heavy bay chop.

I bought a new 2017 220LTS with factory installed Yamaha 200 4cyl. It was not enough motor for that hull. I tried everything (props, motor height, etc..) but still had a slip of 20%. This was the re-designed hull that was supposed to be faster.
I sold it when kids wanted to hunt rather than fish.
I still can’t believe the factory specified and installed motor wouldn’t get bow out of the water. Original prop was a 21p. I called Triton and they told me that was the correct prop (full throttle achieved 4000rpm). Yamaha shares some blame as I don’t believe that motor makes 200hp.
While I would own a Triton again, I’d explore more options before purchasing another boat.

One is a 2009 and the other is a 2005

Ten4… both of the boats I’m looking at have 225 Hondas

I’ve fished in all three of that generation and owned (a 2220) Blazer for 14 years.
The Triton is the one to get.
At that time, I would dare say that Triton was likely at the top of the bay boat game.
The Blazer will rattle your teeth out and be wet at the slightest chop- JUST like a Pathfinder.
The Sea Hunt is underrated, but that brand has never garnered the prestige that it likely deserves.
A Triton LTS, well maintained, will exceed your expectations, be the best ride out of the lot, and will always look good and get you a good conversation- “man. I remember when they came out with those- they were slick”

My 240 is a 2007 with the original 250 verado. I have not had very much trouble out of either. I agree with the other posters. Before Triton was bought out by Bass Pro, they were top notch. Earl Bents who was the owner at that time now makes Caymas boats, which is another quality brand. I have been 30+ miles offshore in mine on multiple occasions.

That’s nuts and yes the Yamaha 200 is a horrible pick.
