WELL GUYS I FINALLY GOT THE BOAT I WANTED
2005 TRITON 21' DC X SERIES W/ 250 SUPERCHARGED VERADO
PICKED IT UP IN CONN, IT WAS TRADED IN ON A DEEP SEA BOAT
30 HOURS ON IT . TOOK IT UP TO LAKE MIGHIGAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND MAN IS IT SWEET. 4 STOKE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO 8-) NO CHOKING OR SMOKING. TOP SPEED IS BLISTERING , MAKES MY EYES WATER. CAN'T WAIT FOR BASS FISHING TO START ! OF COURSE AS I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW IT IS COLD AN SNOWING :'( ZIMMY
SWEET RIDE!!! :o
Congrats on the new boat. Enjoy and be safe!!
This is a great boat. I have a '04 X I took delivery on 2/15/60. Was new. Saved about $20,000 over '06. Mine is Black/Red with 225 Opti. I love mine.

Nice boat
Congratulations! That is a beauty. I understand that the Verado's are really quiet, allows you to sneak up on the big ones.
THAT MOTOR IS SO QUIET THAT WHEN I WAS FLYING ACROSS THE WATER I CON'T EVEN HEAR THE MOTOR. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP I THOUGHT THE MOTOR STALLED. 8-) ZIMMY

What do the boats look like in the future? I might wait til 2060 like you.
COOL ride. I also am a Triton brother. I have been in many bass boats and I can say Triton has the best ride. :o And I know about the water eyes. :'(
nice!!
beautiful Zimmy!!
Good luck with her and safe travels!!
You'll definitely need that big boat on Michigan. Enjoy.
Nice looking boat! I hope to have my first new boat soon as well!!
Congratulations. Beautiful boat. Enjoy.
I hope you enjoy your boat, its pretty sweet. Now you have to find a way to keep the snot from running down your shirt with that big 250 in the wind,
Great boat man......I know the feeling, just bought a new one too, hope you have a blast with it.

kb here now that a sweet looking boat to early to tell on gas miles yet i suppose kb
AWESOME!!!!!
How cool is that? I'd be proud of that boat too if I were you! Congrats.
YEAH I'M ABOUT AS EXCITED AS A FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE.
IT IS A LITTLE TO EARLY TO TELL THE GAS USAGE. I DO KNOW IT HAS TO BE ABOUT TWICE AS GOOD AS MY OLD 2 STROKE WAS . THE WORST PART IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP THE TEARS OUT OF MY EYES AT THAT SPEED :'( LOL I HAD A 98 TRITON AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD OWN A BOAT LIKE THIS . I MUST CONFESS THIS BOAT I PRETTY MUCH STOLE . IT WAS NOVEMBER AND THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF IT REALLY BAD. THE BOAT WAS LISTED IN CONNETICUT AND I'M IN INDIANA . THE BOAT HAD 30 HOURS ON THE ODOMETER. NOT A FLAW OR SCRATCH ON IT . THEY TOLD ME IF I CAME AND PICKED IT UP THAT WEEKEND I COULD HAVE IT FOR 30K. 3 HOURS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE WINNING THE LOTTERY 8-) THE WORST PART IT IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE READY TO GO AND WE HAVE ABOUT 0 DEGREE'S . ZIMMY
Very nice rig. Congrats. Sounds like you made a great deal on it too. We'll all be interested to hear how the Verado performs for you (as soon as the water softens up a bit ). Good luck.
A Beaut.
That is a nice boat. I have nearly the same color scheme on my TR20.
I would like to hear some input about the Verado after you run it a while.
My boat has the Optimax on it, but I have heard good stuff about the 4 stroke.

I'm very curious as well, what is the maintenance on that motor?
as far as maintanence the boat manuel says drain the oil change the filter and grease, pretty simple if you as me. it has a drain plug on the side were the oil drains and you just dump the oil in the top. it reminds me so much of just like a car motor as far as air filters, oil filters and the whole ball of works. a couple of weeks ago when i took it on a test run on lake michigan it ran great . the awesome part was when the motor hit about 2000 rpm you could feel the supercharger kick in . that was wild. 8-) zimmy
Great rig you have!
Since I gona change my boat (188VS with 175opti) soon and upgrade to a 20 footer with a 250 HP, I was thinking about the verado.
Can you tel me how it feel to drive your boat with the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering don't you miss the feeling of a regular steering equipement. And don't you think the dts system on the gear will be difficult to handle in rought waters (too sensitive)?
Don't mind if I ask but it's a big investment for me and any advise will be helpfull.
