Triton Inspection

Post by ensign001 »

I will be inspecting a Triton next week with the possible intention of purchasing the boat. Other than the usual things to look for with a boat of this age, I assume that there may be some things, particular to the Triton, that I should be looking for. I will appreciate any and all suggestions.

Some things to take a look at are:
-deck core/soft spots
-mast support beam
-chain plates
-false keel
-wood rudder

But generally look over everything carefully. These boats are 50 years old, chances are that many systems are going to need some work/replacement or be suspect.
