I was at the LA boat show last week and I did not see Trident boats anywhere. Whats up with that? I was hoping to see the latest and greatest in twin jet technology. All of the other major boat manufacturers were there.

Didn't make it this year... (I know... or last year... or the year before etc...)
But, if you are anywhere near San Diego I would be happy to take you for a ride on it and let you test drive the boat instead of just look at it at the show.
This goes for all of you folks. Just give me a call first at (619) 448-8584.

He said months ago that the trident wasn't going to be in the show :)
I was speaking to someone over the weekend who priced a certain deckboat that was over Wes's 160k number.. That was without any upgrades... Suddenly the Trident looks like a STEAL with everything it comes with :) Just have to like the dual jet :)

Last Friday I followed a white van with a trident custom boats sticker into a parking lot up here in Ventura. Pretty odd in this area to see a boat sticker much less a TRIDENT. Got to talking with the guy and he's the one who developed the resin infusion deal....can't remember the guy's name to save my life :rolleyes:

The "other major boat manufacturers" are afraid of advanced technology so to everyone's surprise they've been able to band together to fight Trident and keep their industry using the antiquated fabrication processes, materials and propulsion they've been selling to the marketplace for many years now.

I seen the Trident , up-close and personnel, great boat, (love the infusion hulls) cant wait to go for a spin. With everything that Wes is putting on his boats as standard stuff is amazing , let alone the 10 year warranty. :cool:

So did you lift the top deck of the red and white one? That could easily be lifted by 2 people !! What's a normal weight deck take, 4 - 6 people?

How did you like those new clips he's using to hold the interior in? SICK I tell ya... Airbornd seat pads when towing(due to old velcro) are a thing of the past :D

wes...
my quess is you have already thought about this ...(it appears that nothing is left off this boat!!!)
when i want my blowup toys (like towable toys, not the other ones....) i want them inflated/deflated quickly...every pump/gadget thing i have ever bought is a piece of crap...a deck boat with a built in compressor/pump for blowing up inflatables would be cool...good lord, dcb has a pump gizmo for washing off your feet.. i solved that years ago by just having my wife wipe my feet down....
i have already drawn my concept on a cocktail napkin and dated it so there is prior art....
all joking aside...serious about the air pump..also sincere in praise for your efforts....great looking boats..

If I wasn't looking for a Trawler, that red & white one would have Mike & Kim hanging on the build tag. Wes that boat looks like a millon $$$$.
Thanks, Mike

Mike, you can call it a trawler if you want to... I would love to have your name on the build tag...

Do you think 1K miles on a tank of fuel is out of the question. :)

Gary... I can put a pump in for you. I know of a couple that were burley enough to do our Zodiacs in the SEALs. I can hard wire one in with a port for you if you want.
Come get a ride in it... the rest sorts itself out.

No. Problem is, you will be redefining what a "tank" is, and where it is located in relation to the boat... for example... I would say that with an appropriate tender, you could go 1K with this on one of the tenders tanks... ;)

That is a really cool ramp my question is do you drive it with it down or up, I guess there is no cutout if you plan to have that ramp? Very cool Idea, I also really like the shifter, everytime I see your boat I like it more and more...

I rated it for you and your brother to jump off of a dock with a 100 pound cooler from 3 feet onto it. Seriously. Used your name and everything. And then when somene said, "Well, sure, you know one guy, but two guys that big???" Brothers dude... brothers...
