Triton TR196 vs TR20X

[fishermanfrank]

Hey guys I have been looking around at different options to upgrade boats. What are y'all thoughts between a

2005 Triton TR20X with a 225 Optimax
Vs
2007 Triton TR196 with a 200 Optimax

After doing research between the 2 I figured that if they were both set up with the proper pitch prop and Jack plate hight they would run about the same speed. The TR20X may end up being a little faster..
It's looking like In the low 70's for both.

Anyone have experience between with either model? If so what are your thoughts?

Thanks for your time,
Frank

There is also a 2003 TR20 and 2003 TR21 That look solid as well.

Frank I have a 05 196 and the fishablity is great- I think but am not positively sure- size wise- the only difference you will see between the 196 and the 20 is in back deck. I have looked at similar years, (04,05,06 196 and 20) and the front deck and storage areas were the same. The extra inches came in the back deck.

Ok cool, thanks for the response Danny.

Frank, I know your young but speed is the LAST thing I look for in buying a boat. . I could have bought any boat I wanted and I choose one of the slower ones.. besides if your not fishing with a 250 your not going to beat anyone anywhere on tournament day.
