So cool, and amazing timing. I pick up my brand new Triton TRX Saturday. Was stocked to see this!!!

about damn time dc posts another vid!

[@thaddbigler4639]

Damn DC. I live only 10 miles from the plant on the white river. Would have put you up for the night. Glad you are supporting Triton and our economy. Looks awesome indeed.

[@mattblackwell4431]

I used to work for Phoenix Boats in the paint/gel coat department. It’s actually a pretty long process from start to finish but the fact that everything is hands on makes it worth it. Pretty cool they have the big water tub for when the boat is finished

[@thatfishingguy11b]

That’s cool asf why’d you leave?

[@scottbrewer2221]

Just curious if you know, when they test the flotation of the boat, is it just the boat or a fully rigged boat, ie 250HP motor, full of gear, full of gas, etc. Is that the type of testing they do ?

[@cdmartn]

@@scottbrewer2221 Fully rigged. If it passes all checks at the pool they set it on the trailer and wrap it for shipping.

Hadn't seen a Triton factory tour in awhile.Thanks for making that trip for us Triton owners!

[@kentporter8107]

Awesome video DC! Really glad you went to the factory and gave us this tour. I have a Triton and have only used Triton Boats but had never seen anything like what you did going to the plant! That was superb! Love that's it's all made in the US and so much is still done by hand, makes me feel really good driving around in a Triton! Love that you and J. Wheeler and others all use Triton, awesome boats!!

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

My Triton HP21 is 11 years old and she's still gettin it down the lake. No complaints. Really like the factory tour video, interesting process.

[@CousinPete420]

I bought my first Bass boat last December. 2021 Triton Patriot. Love the boat only problem is I will never buy anything again from Bass Pro. The buying of the boat was a horrible experience. If I ever buy a new one I will buy it from Pro's Choice in the Ozarks.

[@FloridaDude1969]

As a used 2004 Triton TR175 owner I can tell you that not having access to the gas tank is a bit of a let down. There is no cleaning of it, nor inspection. Would like to be able to. Especially since the boat design is known for a gas smell in the compartments because of a design flaw of that model where no ports were built in to bleed the fumes. Thank you for the tour though very informative.

[@Yeaitstemp]

I spray poly flake pretty good

[@tubingtomtom]

Facility built by Legend Boats. Quickly bought out by Johnny Morris along with Ranger boats and a few others. Thank god they didn’t get Bass Cat. Which is just around the corner. Nothing against White River marine and their boat companies. I’ve just been partial to the BCB family.

[@hickfromthestixFFF]

Hey, I work there.

[@shadygraves]

Great video; Lettin' 'em behind the curtain! You never saw Gene and Kim Cleckler's place where they used to build Hurst, then Legend Boats in Clanton? I was fortunate enough to meet Marvin Hurst way back before Gene bought him out and turned it into Legend. Marvin used to race against (and beat) Earl Bentz decades ago, in Florida. Legend (and then Thunderhawk) was a cool facility to see. You're right; most folks don't realize that a boat is built from the outside in. The wax is the very first thing in the mold! Next comes the pin stripes, hull stripes, and then the base color. You have a hull, a hull cap, and stringers. Next comes the foam, then hardware, electronics, and pumps. Lastly, they put it all together and rig it with motors. Ever since '96, all boats must meet USCG floatation standards of zero neutral buoyancy. That means, even with holes in it, it will float. I worked for Don Sumrall back in '88, beside the old stockyard, building Legacy ski boats. It was terrible work back then. Breathing all that fiberglass is awful. You could always tell what color boat I'd been working on by the color of my boogers! I saw you had safety glasses on in the factory. I'd suggest a mask next time. I know it smells good, but that stuff is bad on your lungs! Anyway, I hope you load that boat this year. Go get 'em, son.

DC are you putting a topper on your truck? Getting it wrapped? Are you maybe think of joining up with Jacob and making your own line of boats? Lots of questions bud great video, where Brett? Also no comments on new format this year is that coming soon?

[@DCFishing]

I do have a topper now. I plan on staying with triton. Brett is still around. He welcomed his second daughter over the off season so he has been pretty tied up. We filmed a video on the new format that will be out in the next week or two. Two videos a week are coming your way starting now

[@RandyHunt19]

@@DCFishing thanks buddy keep them coming enjoy every video and look forward to them all. Wish MLF would allow you to watch your guy the whole day like at a nascar race where you listen to your driver for the whole race. I would rather watch you as having the camera go back and forth what’s your thoughts?

[@BradHope_Fishing]

So, top caps "not coming off" isn't entirely true. My brand new 2005 TR-21X Bassmaster Classic boat had a fuel leak. I had just picked it up from the dealer and hit the gas station on the way home. As I was sitting in my culdesac loading all of my gear into the boat, my eyes started watering and I could smell gas. I stepped down off the front deck into the cockpit area and slipped because the gas had puddled in the cockpit floor and ate up the carpet glue, causing the carpet to wrinkle up. I always install the plug the night before I fish so I don't overlook it on the boat ramp. Thankfully I was thinking fast and popped open the rigging compartment and disconnected the batteries before the bilge pump went off and possibly sparked, potentially igniting the entire culdesac! I towed the boat back to the dealer, plug removed, so gas was leaking out, but at 70 mph it really wasn't much but a trickle on the highway during the hour drive. They contacted Triton, and Triton came and picked up the boat and took it back to TN, removed the top cap, and saw that someone had drilled and screwed into the gas tank while installing the seats. they cleaned up all of the gas in the stringer and hull, installed a new gas tank, and reattached the top cap. I got the boat back about three weeks later. All was good, and they called me and told me to email them a list of about $500 worth of Triton stuff I wanted (shirts, hats, sunglasses, rain gear, etc...). A couple weeks later it all showed up in the mail. Boat was great after that, until I sold it about seven years later. So...the top caps DO come off, but I'm sure it wasn't pleasant.

[@charlesmayberry7034]

It would been nices to go Thur with you and ask question

[@charlesmayberry7034]

My first question would have been if you do a cut away like ranger did back in day and it would no sink

[@mikethetoolman8776]

hopefully, they do better gel work there than the ranger plant did on my new 519c!!!!

[@DCFishing]

Got a video on the change coming in the next week or so

[@opinionatedviewer7730]

Deck size matters

[@jeffporter100]

I really enjoyed this very detailed look. Looks like a high quality product. The gas tank comment caused me to pause. Is it an advantage to get a boat where the tanks can be pulled out and and put back in without cutting the fiberglass?

[@DCFishing]

Every fiberglass boat is like this. You have to ensure that the top cap cannot come off the hull. You have to seal it so that it essentially becomes one piece. You don’t want to get caught in rough water and have that separate on you.

[@Lawnfella]

@@DCFishingthey aren’t all like that, you can a access the fuel tank on a Phoenix

[@mikethetoolman8776]

is this the plant that made legends originally before they were bought and shut down?

[@clockfixerar]

Aluminum boats have flotation built into them to keep them afloat, as per boating regulations!

[@tcwest83]

Are they still made in midway or in Flippin?

[@charlesmayberry7034]

No pvc for wiring from front to back

[@bamadondon0495]

The way they put their pumps in a wiring in on the top when is sitting upside down and then they put it down inside the hull/bottom cap.. whatever... Makes it extremely hard to work on if you wanted to change pumps or rewire things for whatever reason on your own. I'm not saying you cannot do it on your own I am just saying it makes it harder because they're in a harder to get to place

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

But after injections and pulling air out do they lamo roll with metal rollers to make sure all air is out? Eliminating air voids. The major problem I’ve seen from Caymas. If it’s white river skeeter caymas or falcon on Lanier and it needs warranty work or gelcoat fiberglass repairs period it came through my old shop before I started just doing details on my own making more money for myself. But I still help my old boss if I’m slow.

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

And that allows me to chase for Scott and learn from him when the elites are in the southeast

[@LukeLong-dy9gv]

The boats there are hand rolled. A skilled chopper gun operator knows the proper thickness to shoot all throughout the boats. Just the small parts are vacuum bagged such as fenders, rod boxes, bait wells, consoles and fiberglass lids.

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Hope the gas tank don’t leak lol..😮😮

[@Hmarshall3]

Got a 20trx and my biggest complaint is the junk plastic/vinyl stuff they put on the console and upfront. Wish you would’ve asked them why they don’t just fiberglass it like a ranger.

[@crankinbass5758]

[@mikethetoolman8776]

How can someone who has only had 1 boat manufacturer say they have the best of anything when never owning other brands? Riding in another and using for 1 day can't give you that information. I get that they help pay your bills but guys saying this boat is the best or that boat is the best and then they are in another brand next year and say the same crap doesn't fool anyone anymore. I'm not saying DC is doing this, I'm sure he believes they are the best but how does he know without owning and running any other brand for a change
