What is a great boat under 20 feet?

Question

Trying to find a cheaper powerboat for a first time buyer. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I worked at a Triumph dealer for 4 years and I saw those boats go thru h**l! We had a rental business and our boats would get abused! I have seen a 19ft Triumph get run into a bridge at 25 mph and just bounce off!! They are a different material than fiberglass, basically a plastic. They are five times more impact resistant than fiberglass. They NEVER need wax!! They have a lifetime no rot warranty. I would highly recommend them and they are less than a Whaler. We used to pick on whalers, if they get smashed the pieces float! Check out triumphboats.com

Answer 2

The Boston Whaler Montauk 17 is a classic, and will hold it's value.
