Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

I heard from a credible source that the rumored sale of Triton boats by Brunswick did occur and there is to be an official announcement this Wednesday...that Platinum Equity is the new owner.  If it turns out to be true, that will put Triton, Ranger and Stratos (which will be building the Champion 198 and 210 Elites) under one umbrella.

Mike,

I to heard this about a week ago that this was in the works. Interesting news it is.

This is not good for anglers/consumers. Less competition is never good for the consumer. You can figure that it will reduce sponsorship dollars across the various circuits, obviously broader than just the national circuits. Expect gradual impacts to pricing, product and dealerships. These moves are primarily only smart/good for the company.

Zach,

On Monday last week I just happened to be speaking with a dealer on the east coast and he had mentioned to me that Platinum was in talks with Triton on the sale of their company. He had mentioned other things as well but cant really speak about them on this site without possibly ruffling feathers.

You will be seeing info on this all over the web reall soon.

Isn't that the same company that Skeet Reese signed with?
Sponsorship is not and will not be what it was before the recession. The fact that Platinum Equity has purchased Triton just shows how much Brunswick and the boating market in general has been hurt by the economy. Maybe they will move Triton to the Ranger plant to cut costs.

All I know is that I love my Ranger and who knows, Ranger's and Triton's might soon be in the same shop! Of course that depends on which rumor you listen to!
Well if it's true I guess they figured if you can't beat them buy them:)
Now that's funny

I'm just hoping that all the Platinum Equity investers are all American investers!
Actually both but specifically Brian.
