2008 Triton 351 CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice this 351 feels bigger than the numbers suggest. The wide beam and deep cockpit give you room to work a spread, move around during a hot bite, or load up friends for a sandbar afternoon. Forward, the wraparound seating and coffin box setup invite you to stretch out between runs, while the high gunwales and aggressive flare keep everyone dry and secure. The helm is laid out so you can run hard in a chop without hunting for switches or throttles, and there’s plenty of shade from the sturdy T-top. Storage is everywhere—insulated boxes for the catch, dry compartments for gear, and thoughtful touches that show this hull was designed by anglers who actually fish.

This 351 CC shines in these waters, where long runs to offshore structure and fast-changing conditions are the norm. The stepped hull and generous fuel capacity let you comfortably push out to distant humps and ledges, then hop between wrecks without constantly eyeing the gauges. It has the range and ride to handle afternoon wind-against-tide slop, yet still floats shallow enough to poke into nearshore edges and reef lines. With ample livewell capacity, big fish boxes, and a stable drift, it’s built for trolling, kite fishing, or bottom dropping in the same day. For a crew that wants serious offshore capability yet the flexibility to enjoy sandbars and island hopping, this model is right at home here.
