Hello All from Down East.
I was very happy to find this great site. It's a heckuva resource for Triumph owners.
We bought a 2001 Logic 186 with a 115 hp Johnson 2 stroke from BFC Marine in Bath, Maine in late August of this year. The boast was a trade in for an upgrade and is in great shape. Since we live in Gardiner, a ways up the Kennebec River, we decided to dock it in Richmond rather than trailer it.
Our 186 has some of the warts discussed in these forums but they're all pretty minor when it comes to influence on performance and satisfaction. The scuppers back up when she's stern heavy but the golf balls take care of it if necessary. Water leaks through the gray panels into the bilge but the bilge pump easily takes care of it, especially if I leave the bow up a bit as we leave the harbor. We're very pleased with it.
With two people, more than 30 gallons of fuel and an admittedly unreliable speedo to measure she planes out at about 3300 RPM/22 MPH and tops out at 38+. It's just perfect for these rivers and the rocky coast beyond. We love it!
And, thanks to Roplene, at five years old it's still the brightest, nicest looking boat at the dock.
