That is a funny video.

And I'm convinced. If I need to buy a boat to drop off the back of a
speeding semi, bounce off a few trees, or fling off a 100-foot cliff
into a lake below it will be a Triumph. Not so sure it will plane
well, track well, ride reasonably dry, maintain the cosmetic integrity
of the finish, or do any of the other things one would appreciate in a
boat of that type, but who cares if you can bounce it off of trees and
semis? :-)

I wonder if anyone in rec.boats has actually seen a Triumph a few years
old and can testify about the boats appearance and handling.

Ahem...

As I have stated in the past, they are tough. There are concerns
about UV damage over the long term, but so far, it's been good.

As to looks after a few years - they get dirty fast and are hard to
clean.
