    Anyone had the opportunity to test this boat out yet? Looks like a nice ride, and $30K for a glass boat this big with a 175 Merc. seems pretty reasonable. Add another one to the list of possibilities.

    Saw one at the show last winter. It looks big enough to play football in!

    Sorry I haven’t ridden in one yet. With a 175 I’m pretty sure you need the Mertens tiller steer system.

    Someone posted a picture of it a few months ago. It looks pretty sweet.

    In all the pictures I’ve seen there is no seat for the guy driving. It almost looks like you have to sit on the back casting deck. Tell me if I’m wrong but that is what it looks like.

    There is no seat. That must feel like sitting on the wing of a 737. I would personally like a back rest for, if nothing else, safety.

    Not so sure I would like to be sitting on the edge of the spalshwell or rod locker while blasting across Mille on a windy day.

    Good looking boat though.

    Not sure what is up with that picture, but I know for certain that there is a pedestal seat for the driver.

    There has to be a seat. Cost Guard wouldnt approve of the boat.. The picture looks modified. Almost like thats not the real motor.

    Here’s a top view. I don’t see a seat unless this photo is modified as well (or there is a seat jack somewhere).

    I wonder if it comes with a 5 point harness attached to the tie down clip. You know when you hit one of those monsters on mille lacs and get thrown out.

    When I lived in Washington and fished he Columbia, guys often would be zooming down the river with a 20 foot tiller with a 200HP motor passing cars on the interstate that ran right next to the river east of Portland.

    Amazing…

    Maybe this is the sasquach option. You need extra long arms to run this baby….

    Maybe the legless sasquach option. Look at the deck seat placement.You won’t be able to sit on the front deck seat and use the foot control either.

    This has to be a pic of the proto type.

    Tritons are known for their fast, good riding hulls though.

    This summer I sat in a new Warrior outside Cabelas wondering the same thing. No back seat. I now know when you buy a new Warrior they don’t have driver seats in them. Instead they have you sit in the boat and figure out what you like, then drill the hole. That could be what they are doing here, but it seems strange that they wouldn’t put one in for a photo shoot.

    After I get past the “where is the seat deal”, I like the way it looks in the water. I like the high sides and it looks like it would run great on the river. It also looks roomy with a big front deck from the top view. I do agree with the big lake statement. It doesn’t look like a boat for what you dudes fish on the bigger waters.
