This winter I upgraded the boat I posted a pic of previously in this thread, to this one:
It's kind of a neat story. We were debating on getting a newer boat all last fall but, the more I looked at both new and used fish and ski boats I just couldn't find anything that we liked. They either didn't work for me on the fishing side or there was something my wife didn't like about the skiing/family side. As I was perusing different models/years and layouts I stumbled across a couple stock pictures of a yellow and silver Triton 220 Escape. I showed it to my wife and told her this was the boat we needed. I started trying to find that model but, quickly realized that they were only made a handful of years, are hard to find and expensive when you do, so we gave up and decided to keep our old boat that was paid for. About 3 weeks later the boat in the pic above pops up on my wife's Facebook feed. It was located in SC and priced significantly less than similar boats I had found. It also turns out that this was the first Escape model made by Triton in 2016 and was their demo boat that was used for all of their stock photos and brochures. So when I stumbled across the stock pictures of the yellow and black Escape online and I told my wife that "this was the boat we needed" I was looking at a picture of the exact boat we ended up buying, not just the same color and model but, the exact same boat.
