2007 Triton SF-188 Description
-
It has been said that you can't be everything
to everyone. Well, Triton is trying its very
best to do just that with the all-new SF-
188. Combining the best of a tournament bass
boat with the look and appeal of a ski boat, this
is sure to be a family pleaser.
Equipped with the optional Sport Angler,
Trailer and Family packages, as our test boat
was, the Triton SF-188 definitely has loads to
offer from stem to stern.
At the bow, the fishing influence is obvious.
There is a raised casting platform with foot
pedal and optional pedestal seat, as well as a
MotorGuide trolling motor with depth finder.
A large in-floor rod holder locker and port and
starboard in-floor storage areas, all with gas
struts and locks, offer lots of convenient hidden
storage space to keep the platform clear. A nonskid
bow step mat at the centre walk-through
offers safe access to the cockpit area.
The SF-188's captain is sure to enjoy long
days out on the water with the boat's comfortable
helm. There is great visibility through the
curved, fully-enclosed windshield and all gauges
(including the Lowrance X135 depth finder)
are nicely spread out and easy-to-read. The
deluxe swivel bucket seat foot wells and foot
rests are also sure to please.
To port, there is another comfortable swivel
bucket seat, with a convenient passenger grabrail
- a touch that may come in handy when
racing from fishing hole to fishing hole.
In the cockpit area, a large glove box and
in-floor ski/wakeboard locker offer more spaces
to tuck away all the necessities for a day on the
water. Netting on the back of both bucket seats
offer a convenient place to store bits and bobs
for the trip.
Other thoughtful touches on the SF-188
include lots of drink holders, a Sirius-ready JBL
audio system, wood accents and cockpit courtesy
lights. Additional fishing features include a
rear storage bait well, rear storage boxes, live
well capacity and rear aerated bait well.
Although the luxurious carpeting throughout
seems durable, it may make clean up a bit of a
chore.
Perhaps the most unique feature on this
Triton is the three-part transom seat. To port
and starboard are raised-back "captain-style"
seats, with a bench-style centre section. The
middle portion works as a step, offering easy
access to the rear casting platform for fishing
purposes or convenient re-entry for watersports.
The middle seat also has an Igloo cooler hidden
underneath.
With the boat fully examined, it was time
to take her out for a spin. Despite a bit of
chop, the SF-188 came out of the hole quickly.
It offered a stable, comfortable ride at cruise.
Turning was gradual with no slippage, giving a
sense of security with the boat firmly planted.
Coming upon a sheltered bay around the
corner from our test site, we managed to really
see the power of the OptiMax 150. It responded
immediately as we slammed the throttle full
down. Unfortunately, we did not have the
opportunity to try the trolling motor, but it is
definitely a great fishing option. When it comes
down to it, you really can't have a fish-and-ski
boat without one.
With a roomy feel, lots of convenient
options and plenty of dry storage, the all-purpose
SF-188 is sure to be popular with everyone
in your family - no matter what their
choice of water pleasure.
