Triton Yachts by Pearson

Post by Tim »

In the 80s, in an ill-fated attempt to rekindle the vaunted Triton name, Pearson Yachts created a sort of subsidiary division called "Triton Yachts". These lousy, ugly boats were simply based on the molds for boats that had previously been built by US Yachts, so the designs were neither new, unique, nor worth a darn.

What a sad way to retire the Triton name. I think I will pretend they don't exist.

That solves a mystery for me...when the guy at the dock told me it was a Triton, I wouldn't believe it...I guess I should apologize.
