I am considering a Triton 205 vs Ranger or Warrior. I don’t fish competitively, just for guy-trips with mucho cervesas. I hear that the Triton is very close to the Ranger 620. Anybody know different? Can I pull a tube 4 times a year? How does it handle shallow water? Can I bass fish out of it? 
go to frankies marine and go buy your self a 620!!!!!best boat and the best warranty in the business bar none! 
I have a 620 and really like it for my style of fishing. I would suggest you go somewhere and crawl around them inside and out and see if it fits your style of fishing.
Both are great boats.
I looked at numerous brands both alum and glass…all the biggies and I just liked the layout, fit and finish of the Ranger the best.
I do a lot of bass fishing out of my 620- yes you could pull a tube with it, they make kit ropes to connect to the side anchors…
Once you own a ranger, you don’t look anywhere else…
The Triton weighs less than the 620. The bow rides a little higher which is a plus in a lot of big water situations. Most Tritons are faster with the same motor. Both are great fishing boats with similar interior layouts and options.
I believe the Ranger will have more standard options over the Triton. So if you are shopping new, you need to factor that in.
Frankies is a great place to jump in both boths and compare. Their staff is great and service is top notch.
Good luck shopping.

I don’t think Frankie’s carries Triton glass anymore. Plus I think Dog2th could find a place closer to Omaha.

Dog, I was in a similar situation as you a few years back. This is what I did: I tried to check out any and all possible boats I could. Test drive or ride them all. Let the boat tell you what you like best. Each boat is a lil’ different with different plus and minuses. Some plus & minuses are no big deal to one fisherman, but mean the world to the next. See what layout fits your style of fishing best. I believe I picked the right boat for me and ended up getting a Ranger 620. I felt it was the best ride and had the best fishing layout for me. I wanted a lil different color, but got the boat I wanted.
I suggest you do the same. Everyone has their favorites that they like and will try sell you on their brand, but you just need to find yours. My top two picks I would consider looking at right now would be a Ranger or Skeeter.
Thanks all …. Time to go boat shopping I guess. I was not even considering Skeeter until someone informed me that their walleye boats ROCK! I was under the impression that they made a good bass boat and an OK walleye boat. Well – I stand corrected. Sounds like they are everything the Ranger is… just a few bucks less. I need to find a local dealer to set up a test drive….. when the water gets softer. I was going to sell my boat and buy a different one before the spring hits, this way I could pull it out of the garage and impress all my neighbors and early fisherman at the local ponds. Sounds like I’d be better off keeping my boat and spending the spring testing new boats. First expedition this spring will be trying the crappie bite at Lake Perry in Kansas mid March. Man, that is getting closer every day. 
Like others have said and what I was telling you before, crawl around in all of them and test out all that you can. For that big of a purchase you might as well be happy with what you got.
If you ever head over this direction I will be more than happy to let you test drive an 1880, and some other models if your interested. might even throw in some fishing time. 
Let me know if I can be of any other help
