Roplene(R) Technology Creates an Affordable SUPER TOUGH Skiff

    DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Skiffs have been defined by flimsy
fiberglass single wall boats with unfinished interiors. Triumph Boats
revolutionizes the skiff boat using Roplene(R) rotationally molded plastic
construction technology. The Triumph Skiff 1700
(http://www.triumphboats.com/index.cfm?page=modelIntro&siniterx=1700SKIFF )
features dual wall construction, providing a fully finished single unit
interior and a super-tough no maintenance hull that will never crack, peel,
chip or fade. Filling the space between the cockpit and hull walls is
foaming polyethylene that delivers unmatched structural integrity, water
impermeable flotation and impact resistance 5 times greater than
fiberglass. The 1700 Skiff provides a distinctively smooth, dry and quiet
ride, unlike competing skiffs that deliver a rough, wet and noisy ride.

    With a floor measuring 80 inches wide and a length of 17 feet 8 inches,
the spacious Triumph skiff can carry it all. Drawing only 6 inches of water
the Triumph 1700 Skiff can get into the shallowest flats, tidal creeks and
backwaters. A 7.5 degree dead rise and a "V" bow entry combine to deliver
superior handling. Triumph's self-bailing stay dry deck ensures the Triumph
Boats skiff's cockpit sheds water and allows simple hose down clean-up.

    The Triumph Skiff 1700 is economical to buy, affordable to operate and
highly versatile. Offered through Triumph's national dealer network at a
manufacturer's advertised price of just $12,931 for a boat, motor & trailer
package (Yamaha 50 TLR) -- excluding freight, options, dealer prep, taxes
and licenses the well equipped, tough and versatile Triumph 1700 Skiff is a
value packed boat bargain.

    A Triumph 1700 Skiff press test drive event will be held on the Gallery
ONE DoubleTree hotel dock located at 2670 East Sunrise Boulevard in Ft
Lauderdale, FL on October 29, 2008 from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. To RSVP for
this Ft Lauderdale skiff press event please contact Mark Welsh
