Hello, i am happy to be a new member and new owner of a 2007 190 Bay. I fell in love with the boat when i saw it at a boat show 2 years ago and finally got it.
My ownership experience in the last month has not been very good, and one day i hope to actually ride in my boat, and not tow it. We put it in the water and it died 50 feet from the pier. The cause turned out to be a pin hole in the fuel line that we saw when we squeezed the ball. We fixed that quick, then headed back out. This time the boat died a few hundred yards out. I took the boat to the local Yamaha people, and they diagnosed a faulty anti-siphon valve in the fuel tank.
I live about 350 miles from the nearest Triumph dealer so i have to pay the bill myself and hope the selling dealer reimburses me at least partly.
So the bottom line for me is, i am looking forward to a full season here on Logan Martin Lake in Pell City Alabama, as soon as my boat works. I dont think there is anything more embarassing than inviting friends along on an inaugural boat trip to have the thing not work. It's kind of like buying a new car and the wheels fall off when you pull into your driveway, and the whole neighborhood is watching.
I am saddened by this lamentable start and hope its gets better.
