Saw this nice Triton this weekend in the boat yard at Marina Bay in the Squantum section of Quincy, MA.
Does it belong to anybody on this list? Just curious.

I believe that is #640, at one time owned by Gerry Greene.
My records show it built in 1965 but this would be out of sequence and is probably an error.

Re: Triton in Quincy MA?
The angle of the photo makes it look like a full keel boat.

Re: Triton in Quincy MA?
really? a cutaway forefoot? I can't imagine that the triton could have any bigger of a keel. especially when you ask my arms after scraping the thing last year.
Re: Triton in Quincy MA?
I can't totally tell if you are joking or not (maybe after your arms have recovered it would be easier to tell ;)
However, just in case...
"Cutaway" full keel (or as some people would say: moderate fin with attached rudder):
Full keel:
Edited to add one more - a wooden cutter design. Really full:

Re: Triton in Quincy MA?
excellent rachel. as always. I was cutaway kidding. I am not retracting my belief that the triton has got a big keel, but now I know that it isn't as big as it could be!
really excellent. thanks.
