Triton Thursday – Ran the Fishunter 216 and 186 on Lake Winnebago

216_1216_2
We were wishing for sun to get some great pictures of the Tritons on good old Lake Winnebago but the clouds moved in.   At least we had wind today and these boats ran great in the chop.  After running a 215 for six years I could not believe… how much room there is in the back of the boat.  Two big guys were way in back and we never hit.  I was concerned when I heard Triton 216 moved the consoles forward but the ride was great from the driver seat.  The livewell is huge and off course there was plenty of storage onboard!!  Can’t wait to order my Triton 216 Fishunter.

I want to take the time to thank you Greg and the NPAA for your continued support and generous donation; I just can’t express my gratitude enough. The memories you helped create and the happy faces captured will always remind us of how special our kids are and how wonderful it is to be a part of bringing the outdoors to our youth.
