Sorry, I haven't been on the site much recently and I missed this.
Yes, Logic changed to Triumph a couple years ago. Fishaholic, I have the 17' center console and do like it alot as John said. Its pretty rough and tumble. I don't worry about it and its easy to clean out at the end of the day. I fish close to rocks alot and don't freak about bumping bottom or pullin' the boat up on the beach.
I saw an article on them before I bought one and this statement always stuck with me... "its the rental car version of boats"
The finish isn't as pretty as a Mako or Whaler, but its nice and simple to own.
The plastic construction is also lighter and its an easy boat to trailer and launch, etc. and it runs on less HP than other boats. My uncle has a 17' montauk w/ 90hp 4 stroke johnson... I have a 17' w/ 50hp honda 4 stroke... he runs around 38mph top speed... I can make 34mph.
Not sure how your dad fishes, but the boat is also good on the flats. I sight fish alot of skinny water up here and I would love to have my boat down in FL when I go.
Drawback is the size for the 17'... I fish mostly alone or with my daughter so its fine, but its crowded with 3 adults. Even with two adults 'cause the layout of the full size center console. The back cockpit area is small. They should have moved everything forward 8" and it would be ok. I also have to pick my days to get outside the harbor, but that would be true with any 17' boat. The next size up is 18.5' and very wide. It will probably be my next boat.
Any other questions, please let me know, I'd be happy to answer what I know.
