Old post by the late great Capt. JLT out of Buras.

Triton comments Had the opportunities to have a sponsor boat from almost any company I asked for years and this is the most honest comment I can give you-------------- Thought Ranger was the best bay boat on the market(owned 2) until a really good friend got me switched over to a Triton. Have ridden in many a bay boat in my days down here, and there is not another boat on the market for ANY price that will match up to a Triton LTS for ride, durability, dryness, handling and fishing. You heard already the story of my '04LTS being lost in Katrina and found again after 9 months lost in some trees a mile away from my X-lodge. Cleaned it out, replaced the batteries and am still running it every day! With the 2 automatic bilges pumps going full force, she rode out Katrina all by herself and found solitude and safety way up in some trees to await me coming back home 9 months later to get her! That's a TRUE story, my friend.

Calcasieu Charter Service fished out of them some years back. Really great boat, with nice layout, room for 3-4 people to fish easy.

Big, comfortable, spacious, well built boat. My good friend is a guide and fishes out of one. If I would change one thing about it, I would give it a little sharper deadrise angle at the stern. It does seem to "hit" a little harder in a big chop than some other comparable bay boats I have ridden in.

My boss has one and its been an great boat. Spacious and very well built.

I like this boat. I would own this boat. Problem is, Mrs Cove wants a Nautic Star FA-210 Coastal so she can get in it once every two years...

Those are pretty cool boats IMO. Obviously a different vessel than the Triton with different purposes, but still a cool boat. NS makes a great boat, BTW. I have been researching the crap out of boats lately and, for the money, I don't know that a better boat is made.

Fish off a 22', I can run all over the place on that boat. Serious amounts of storage, only way we'll fill that onboard fish box is fishing offshore. Rides dry too.
Like.

I have 22' skeeter (that i am totally satisfied with) now but I want a 22' LTS bad.

Tritons are some nice arse boats, especially the LTS series. If youre looking for a heavier bay boat you can take offshore but still fish the marsh don't pass it up.

I've read stories of people running 30+ miles out on this boat. Think that is accurate if you pick your days (and run with an epirb)?

Probably could but that is awfully far out for a 24 ft bay boat. Storms, winds, and waves can pop up so quick along the coast I wouldn't feel comfortable at all going that far out. But if you were to try it in a bay boat, triton would be one of the ones to do it in.
