Thanks sker, seems i only offended Dealers for some strange reason? Email has been sent to Earl Bentz of Triton whether or not i get anywhere it sure feels good to get it out in the open!!

Shawn R.

Fish, its not possible. Ive only been here since March, the boat since April and its been in covered storage never even been on the road towing it during the snow (the lakes were frozen over then). That theory would make sense though as they do salt the roads for sure.
Take care,

Shawn R.

Well see what happens, i worded the last post wrong but none the less try empathizing with a customer rather then defending the product. I'll keep you posted on what happens as this will set a future trend one way or the other im sure.
Back to the Broncos game!!!

Shawn R.

Just Thank the few that have PM'ed me, i am going to take you up on your advice. I will continue to post my story in many forums and spread the word if i dont hear from the company with an acceptable answer this week! And yes i will be honest i did use my boat about maybe? 2 times a week (i figured ...

Shawn R.

And still you cant get one dealer or company rep. to admit this trailer is a defect of epic proportions!!! Thats funny all the dealers here who are unbiased are telling me they have never seen this before and i have a legitimate case!!! Either tell me this is a defect and help me or tell me i should...

Shawn R.

Bass Pro,
Thanks for the feedback my boat was brand new! I live in Col. now so i cant go to Gardena. I may or may not get anywhere but i will make darn sure everyone in the US knows about the potential rust problem and what the company offered (or didnt offer) me!

Shawn R.

Understood about the warranty expired, my question to you Rick is have you ever seen seen a trailer used only in freshwater rust out so bad this soon that it is unsafe to drive? Every dealer ive contacted here in CO. say this is a first, a defect somethign went wrong! Also just to revisit, am i not ...

Shawn R.

It was a special order brand new or so i thought?

Shawn R.

I forgot to answer your other question im sorry! Yes i am the original owner and yes the trailer is unsafe to drive it is about ready to break apart up towards the front signal light it cannot be repaired! Its funny most of the fisherman feel my pain and know what im going through. Boat dealers, Boa...

Shawn R.

Rick, This is all news to me as well as Guy it sounds like. With all due respect, please inform all of your potential customers if they are planning on guiding or professional fishing or any type oif fishing 2-3 days a week that that this may void any warranty in the future on the Mercury motor as w...

Shawn R.

Yes Rick i was a guide for about 2 of the 5 years i owned the boat. Part time might i add, ive held full time jobs 40 hours a week ever since i owned the boat pretty week excuse for a commercial fisherman if thats what you wanna call me!!! JK. I know its hard for you to put yourself in my shoes you ...

Shawn R.

BigBass, The way they would know this is a legitimate claim. My mechanic for one, he just replaced a water pump for me and verified that he can tell motors used in saltwater versus freshwater and will put it in writing. second: I mainly fished lake mission viejo who inspected my trailer and boat bef...

Shawn R.

Kent, First of all thank you for your concern on this. I have provided Brad with all of the info pictures, serial number, etc. He has made it very clear that this is a Marine Master trailer issue not Triton. That being said, you guys HAVE to have some influence on them and i want somebody to step up...

Shawn R.

Yeah monkey i am going to spend all winter pursuing a resolution (not much fishing to be done in Co. anyway) according to Brad at Triton they cannot do anything but reccomend a solution to the trailer company. 3 dealers out here have told me they have never seen rust this bad this soon! I am afraid ...

Shawn R.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The bottom line is that this should not be happening to a 2005 Triton that has never been in Saltwater. I could see if it was getting up there in age like my old Champ but that was at 15 years that i just started to see rust on the trailer! Ive done evrything im suppose...

Shawn R.

Also, if anyone has a 2005 or newer Triton boat with a Marine Master trailer and is experiencing the same kid of premature rust in freshwater please send me a PM.

Shawn R.

Hello old friends from Cali, just want to warn you ahead of time of the experience i am going through with my Trailer right now. I have a 2005 Triton boat bought at AIM marine, never used in saltwater, stored in covered parking, dried off completely each time due to the quagga restrictions, etc. The...

Shawn R.

Way to go man i just read about it! Did you do it out of the huntin' Boat i used to see you wreck em at Perris in?? Thats very cool good luck on many wins in the future!

Shawn R.

Some of you watch too much TV and sound exactly like Hannity, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh. Give the guy a chance and see where we are in 4 years!!! I gave Bush a chance but thats another topic...
THE COUNTRY HAS SPOKEN!!!!!!!!! Time to support it!!!

Shawn R.

Well i am moving to Colorado soon (yes i am serious). But i will fit in as it is now a BLUE state!!!
This is a proud day!!

Shawn R.

It will happen sometime today on TV and the "Internets"

Shawn R.

Thank guys, i just need a change and have always longed for someplace like CO. I need to relax, fish for fun when im on the water, come home at night and drink by the fireplace with my Triton in an actual Garage and watch the snowfall! Ive loved Cali but always wanted something different. Gerry ill ...

Shawn R.

I just wanted to let you all know i am headed to Colorado for a change of lifestyle soon!! I am not moving untill i find a job after the first of the year but i am outta here. Untill i had visited CO last year, i was content with living in SoCal, fighting the daily traffic, paying way too much for a...

Shawn R.

I think the bottom line is this: Dems are voting for Obama, Repubs are voting McCain. Its the independants who for whatever reason have not decided yet will swing the vote. I just wish people would look at the issues and truly study both sides, hell i watch Fox and CNBC to hear both sides but to me ...

Shawn R.

and who was it that just said "the fundamentals of our economy are strong", did not know how many houses he had, currently has 13 cars?? Try giving some of that money to lets say, Katrina victims??

Shawn R.

Well we tried a president who people "wanted to have a beer with" now lets try a president who we would want to bass fish with. The last 8 years have gone so well lets try picking based on fishing experience rather then issues.

Shawn R.

You just may be wishing you had a Shimano when it comes time to use your drag on a Monster fish that decides to pull drag. All the other reels sure are pretty though...........

Shawn R.

12lb flouro almost all the way (at least when you think a fish over ten is going to hit???). If you have to use lighter line, 6lb maxima leader is about the only thing i feel comfortable hooking big fish on as well as getting bit by all sizes!!!! Zach, Send me an email i need to get ahold of a frien...

Shawn R.

Guess i was wrong, i figured the fish had died last year since the guys chasing her spent so much time up here in OC. There will be another harrased every year elsewhere soon!!! I would have rather seen the fish caught in "feeding" mode however i guess i wouldnt pass it up on a bed either ...

Shawn R.

Great job guys..... Pete. send me a PM, or email. I want to run an opportunity by you and see if your up for it.

Shawn R.

Let me be the first to predict it. 15lbs will win it and big fish will be about 5lbs. Other then my TOAD early in the week every single fish is about the same size with a few exceptions here and there. Im not an expert i just fish there 3 days a week :) Oh and Thanks for the email congrats from a fe...

Shawn R.

Like i said, i dont know how to post but i did want to share the pic i'll email you a pic if youd be so kind as to post it. I have nothing to fib about ive caught enough of em!!!!

Shawn R.

Clear water, sightfishing, private, no pressure, fish over 10lbs!!! Sounds like which OC lake to you??? Irvine, thats right.............Perhaps i just got lucky on my trips the last 2 days but anyone fishing the tourney is in for a treat!! I'll be guiding on the other OC clear lake otherwise id fish...

Shawn R.

Maybe they are doing more emergency work on the dam??? Thats funny, did they ever finish it?? I wonder what is going on?? Its a shame!!!!! I miss the good old days all the big spotties back in the trees then later all the Pig Largies on swimbaits back in those same trees....Whats going on guys you b...

Shawn R.

Oh great, they're doing the boat tag thing now?? Lemme tell ya its going to be great being a guide in the future when you cant fish several lakes in the same week! I understand the reasoning but im just saying, i have to be able to fish several lakes in one week! Nice smallie by the way....I got an ...

Shawn R.

Any fish under 12 or over 20 inches is supposed to be released and all fish are to be released March through June. That being said, there are alot of guys who fill their wells up with big fish for prime photo ops later in the day and a few knuckleheads who drag fish on stringers waiting for the came...

Shawn R.

I knew it was coming it was no surprise!!! For every $$ i make fishing a day at Perris, i now have to sit and wait 10 days to fish the homelake that i can walk to nice trade off huh? Anyone wanna let me use their boat for the next month and a half??? Good luck to the guys living on the lake who now ...

Shawn R.

just thought id warn the 10 or so guys i know frequent this site about what they will have to deal with. Gerry, glad ur loving the salt keep at it!!! I used to love it too, mainly during my Shimano days when i fished on many many trips. Remember the 100 count Bigeye bite on the Legend in the late 90...

Shawn R.

Inspections before each boat launch started today and it seems very comparable to Casitas!!! This is so far the very least of what we may have to worry about in the future, lets hope this works.

Shawn R.

Meanwhile im stuck pulling on 1 and 2lbers at Irvine all day, thanks for rubbing it in........Will you save me some for later this week??
Nice fish Officer Meredith!!!!

Shawn R.

Congrats Butch awesome fish!!!! Now lets see if anyone can touch that this year!! Gerry (and anyone else) bring your eyesight to MV the visibility is horrible!! has been for a while......

Shawn R.

Great story!!! Dick helped prove the theory that small baits dont always equal small fish! At about the time when Gary Harrison, Bob Crupi, and Dan Kadota were the most publicized big fish kings, Dick was still throwing the ole Darthead at Castaic and always on big fish!!!!!! He also told me what he...

Shawn R.

I just read it for the first time. I had the pleasure of fishing with him several times and new him real well. Reading this, i miss him, in fact i feel bad he kept inviting me to come up to Isabella but i was so busy with life in general i never did! He was a mentor to me, he was a mentor to a frien...

Shawn R.

Everybody unite with me and wear a Giants Cap and or Jersey when the Red Sox come to play at the Big A this year!!!!!!

Shawn R.

6lb. Green Maxima all the way!!! I love Flouro and fish the heavy stuff all the time on the C-Rig, but.......Try hooking a fish over 8lbs running into some cover on your 6lb knicked up flouro??? Doesnt work so well.......I love the light line, boated 2 over 15lb on 6lb. maxima, lost 4 toads in one s...

Shawn R.

No problem! Also, Dont forget the old split-shot rod as it will help keep you out of the rocks 6lb Maxima (R.I.P Mr Trask!!!!) This time of year stay on rock points all day only thing that will change is the depth.

Shawn R.

Last time i was out there i got them in about 35-45ft. on points, specifically Sharons rest point i got a few good ones going. Carolina rigged 6lb. flouro leader, 4 inch Prism Shad and Aarons Magic robos fishing DEAD sloww. The better fish should be moving up in the afternoon on rock then fish the s...

Shawn R.

I understand and agree with most of the picks, i happen to know of some names of anglers that i only see sightfishing their big fish in the spring! I also feel alot of names that started the swimbait craze were left out. I am not saying this as a bitter comment. I sightfish and carolina rig a great ...
