2005 Triton Triton 190 FS Description
-
In my job, you have to enjoy driving boats - any boat - regardless of style or power. Still, some designs excite me more than others and bass boats are among them.
For 2005, Triton Boats of Ashland, Tennessee, has stepped up to the plate with a multitude of models that are setting new standards.
The advancements in these sleek, low-flying, soft-riding water rockets continue to impress me. Fact is, you don't have to be a tournament pro fisherman to appreciate the handling of a Triton. They have several models designed for people who love to fish and ski.
Triton's 190-FS is one of them. It can be an angler's favourite tool, or a parent's all-purpose watersports boat. Powered by a 200 hp Mercury OptiMax outboard, it is a serious gofast machine, capable of speeds nearing 70 mph.
Like all Tritons, the 190-FS is wood-free. Tri-Core composite construction allows Triton to offer a lifetime warranty on their hulls and transoms. Tri-Core is a lightweight, superstrong polyurethane material used on high-performance aircraft. The hull also benefits from Uni-body skeletal construction, with a full-width transom connected to a Zero-Flex stringer system for less stress and improved distribution of engine weight.
Topside, the deck is chemically bonded to the hull.The workmanship and overall aesthetics deserve top marks, with soft deck lines and rounded- flared sides that help deflect water. As with all models, the 190-FS is available with customized graphics and colour schemes.
Sometimes serious fishermen snub fish-and-ski models, thinking a boat can't do two things well. The 190-FS might change their mind. Here, the accent is definitely on fishing, with ample casting decks,dry storage,roomy rod lockers and of course an electric 24 V Motor Guide trolling motor mounted on the bow.
Conveniences such as a bow trim switch, fishing chairs with removable cushions, and a Dual Pro XL battery charger compliment other specific fishing features. A rod storage rack is built into the rod locker. There are tackle and storage trays, a Lowrance depth finder, automatic aerator timer and freshwater livewell systems. And considering all of the storage lockers for both skis and fishing gear, there are few compromises.
The cockpit has comfortable bucket seats, a high, protective walk-thruwindshield (which can be replaced by tournament windscreens if necessary), a wonderful sound system and a convertible top.Naturally there are plenty of options that may make the boat more user-specific.
What reaches out and grabs a guy like me is how a boat performs.Triton's Vortex hull utilizes a concave running pad which acts like a small tunnel to lift the hull, spill the air, and help the boat track through turns.The 190-FS pops over waves at speed, splits what it doesn't fly over and if launched in the air lands softly.
The numbers speak for themselves. Planing in two seconds, the 190-FS hit 40 mph in 7.3 seconds, 50 mph in under 10, and 60 mph in 14 seconds. As for power at speed, try accelerating from 20 to 50 mph in 6 seconds and 30 to 60 mph in 8 seconds.Very exciting.
Just when you think the boat has reached its peak, the bottom moves about slightly and the pad lifts the hull higher off the water. I hit a maximum speed of 67.6 mph turning a 3-blade Tempest propeller. Trimming in, the Triton can be powered through a turn and hang in with the best of performance boats.
If you want a boat that can hang in with your fishing pro buddies and keep your family happy, check out Triton's 190-FS.You can have it both ways.
