i m buying a new triton 18 xs are their any major problems with these boats. since llc. fish holdings took this company over a few years ago. like gas smells in the boats rod lockers etc. does the boat skip and slide on a fast turn. does the boat slap the water at slow r.p.m. . or porpose at certain speeds. does triton handle real rough water i have a lot of it here and dry ride. this is my first bass boat i m 58 years old i dont want to make a mistake at this point. i need your guidence and expertise about this boat will be well excepted. thanks gene bova
