2021 Triton 18TRX

The 18TRX hull is what makes this rig such a weapon on the water. It’s quick onto plane, stays level in tight turns, and rides surprisingly soft for an 18-foot platform, letting you run hard without beating yourself up. Up front, the wide casting deck gives you room to work multiple rods without ever feeling crowded, and those deep storage lockers swallow full tournament loads of tackle and gear. The driver’s console layout keeps everything within easy reach, and the hot foot/trim setup makes it feel more like a performance machine than a fishing boat. Pair that with the clean, professional rigging throughout, and you’ve got a setup that’s as dependable as it is fast.

This 18TRX shines on the mixed waters you’ll find in this region, from smaller, tree-lined lakes to bigger, wind-blown reservoirs. Its length makes it easy to launch at shallow or older ramps and to tuck into tight coves, yet the sharp pad hull and big motor let you run long stretches of open water when the bite is far from the ramp. It drafts shallow enough to slide over flats and along rocky banks, but still has the stability to fish confidently in boat wakes and afternoon chop. For anglers who split time between weekday fun fishing and weekend tournaments, this model fits the local waters extremely well.
