Mamma said I need a bigger boat so I can get salmon more often. I swear, that's what she said. So I'm selling my little plastic fantastic and thought I'd post it here first.
This little boat has caught everything there is to catch around here, except albacore. It only weights about 1500 pounds with the motor, so it's super easy to tow and launch, but the little 60 is powerful enough to tow the kids on the tube. Draws meer inches of water, so sitting on the flats at the bottom of the tide is no problem, and no mud walk home. Handles the chop suprisingly well for how light it is.

Here’s the deal:

2008 triumph 170 center console w/ options

Full bow rail
Flip/flop stainless helm chair
72 qt cooler under seat
Swim platform
Rear seat cushions & backrests
Rear rail & back seats
Front casting seat (removable)
Dual batteries w/switch in center console (stock is in rear hatches)
6 rail mounted rod holders
Raymarine Dragonfly 7” GPS/chirp fishfinder
Icom vhf radio
2008 Yamaha F60  4 stroke (~ 560 hours)
13 gallon live bait tank
Scotty electric downrigger plugs aft
Stainless Solas prop
2008 ez loader galvanized trailer w/ spare & new tires

Upgraded plastic bunk covers (reduces corrosion on trailer & makes it easier to launch)
 

$10K  ( I will probably list it for 11.5K on boat trader)

I paid 12.5 w/ 450 hours on the motor two years ago – that motor will last at least 1500 hours.  I moved the batteries to the console, added the swim step, the cushions, and the Dragonfly, and did a bunch of other little things to make it more fishy. The motor just had a 100 hour tune (at 520 hours).  The control cables are getting close to needing to be replaced, but I am thinking I’ll do it later in summer (they cost about 100 and it takes couple of hours to pull them thru and reconnect).
I'm saying it has 600 hours even though it only has 553, as I'm still using it.
The trailer has some rust, but should be good for plenty of years.  You might have to replace the bunk brackets in a couple of years.

Sweet little boat! No new purchases for me for a couple years.

It's perfect for inshore HMB and pacifica. Nasty big wind chop you need to slow or you get beat up, but regular swells it's amazing for its size. Inside the SF bay it can get wet when it's really blowing from the side, but still rides nice. I've caught salmon out of HMB, and it's fine for most days. Coming out the gate you'd have to pick your days.
