How Triton Boats are built
At Triton, we're proud of the way our boats look, but we believe it's what's inside that really counts. Triton boats feature the most advanced design, materials, construction methods and safety engineering in the entire fishing boat industry. As you'll see, we use aircraft technology in our hull construction - there's no wood in a Triton boat. Our innovative engineering approach enables every Triton hull to carry a lifetime warranty, plus a three-year warranty on most Triton-installed components. And, most important of all, every Triton boat is designed and built with your complete safety in mind.

Most fiberglass fishing boats are built with wood in such strategic areas as the stringer system, transom, deck and floor.
Over time, wood can rot, leading to structural failures. Even wood thoroughly encapsulated with fiberglass still contains water and can expand and contract over time, which may lead to delamination. It's impossible to bond wood and fiberglass chemically. Also, wood softens when wet, causing fasteners to pull loose. For these and other reasons, there is no wood in a Triton boat. Instead, Triton insists on space age Tri-Core composite construction. Tri-Core, a high-tech, super-strong polyurethane core material used in high performance aircraft, can never rot, bonds chemically with fiberglass, and is unaffected by climate changes. In addition, structural tests show Tri-Core to be lighter than wood, yet stronger than most wood/fiberglass laminates.
Hand-Laid Quality
Like other fiberglass boats, a Triton is built from the inside out. But that's where the similarity ends. We use state-of-the-art gelcoats and baby our molds so your Triton boat has a brilliant mirror finish that'll last a lifetime.Every Triton features hand-laid construction and AME 1000 resin for greater strength and uniformity without excess weight. Many competing manufacturers use extensive chopper gun construction in their boats. The chopper gun is a laborsaving tool that sprays material into the hull. It enables our competition to turn out more boats at a faster pace, but at Triton, we know faster isn't necessarily better where your boat's construction - and your safety - are concerned. Compare our lifetime hull warranty to the flimsy warranties on competing boats and you'll understand why we take extra time to hand-lay every Triton hull.
Rock-Solid Transom & Deck
A glance at the stern of a Triton boat reveals a major difference between our boats and many of our competitors' models. Every Triton features a full-width transom, running all the way from port to starboard. Many competitive boats have much narrower transoms - some only 24 inches wide! Our full-width transom means the weight of your outboard is distributed over a much wider area, to absorb stress more effectively. The Triton transom is crafted from Tri-Core and fiberglass, which are bonded chemically, unlike the simple mechanical bond our competitors hope to achieve with wood. It connects directly to the stringer system to form the industry's strongest and most rigid "skeleton" - your assurance that every Triton boat is built to last a lifetime. Our deck is also designed for maximum strength. It features four transverse bulkheads which tie into the stringer system in true unibody fashion, thereby enhancing the deck's structural integrity. Deck and hull are chemically bonded with automotive-strength structural adhesive. The result: rock-solid construction, guaranteed to last a lifetime!
