Triton

Triton boats are known for being number one in the boating industry in terms of their design, materials used, safety engineering and construction methods. There is no wood in a Triton boat and they actually use aircraft technology when constructing the hull of each boat. This innovative type of engineering allows the Triton company to provide lifetime warranty, in addition to a three-year warranty on most Triton-installed components.

As mentioned, the construction of all Triton boats is totally wood-free, because over time, wood rottens which leads to structural failures. Even if the wood is completely covered with fiberglass, water will invade it causing expansion and delamination. Furthermore, wood softens when it gets wet, so fasteners can pool loose. These are just some of the reasons why Triton boats don’t have any wood in their structure. As oppose to that, Triton uses a special Tri-Core composite construction, which is used for building aircrafts. Tri-Core never rottens, nor does it get affected by climate changes. Plus, it’s lighter than wood, but at the same time, it’s stronger than most wood-fiberglass composites.

When it comes to the construction process itself, the people at Triton know that faster doesn’t mean better, so instead of saving time and trying to produce more boats to make more money, they are concerned with safety and take extra time to hand-lay every Triton hull, which allows them provide this industry-unique lifetime warranty of the hull.

Each boat has three main components in its construction – the stringer, hull and deck. At Triton, all three are made by hand-laying fiberglass. After that, they are banded in place together, to form a solid, singular unit, which is called a uni-body construction as if it were all one piece.

There is something special about Triton’s stringers too. Other manufacturers used wood sringers encapsulated in fiberglass. The stringer is of great importance, because it’s the backbone of every boat, so it’s vital that it’s absolutely rock solid, extremely rigid, so there is no hull or deck twisting. This is exactly what Triton has achieved by use two braces going from bow to stern and seven cross-members connecting port to starboard. It’s a radical and unique approach.

For the engineers at Triton, safety is number one, and this is the reason why all Triton boats exceed the upright standard of the US Coast Guard, American Boat & Yacht Council and National Marine Manufacturers Association. As a result, you can rest assured that your Triton boat will never have a flotation failure, because this is something that has never happened to a Triton boat, not even one.
