Josh in choosing a boat it's like comparing apples to apples. All of them shine with a coat of wax. I have never owned a Nitro but I have looked them over pretty closely. Compartments are slip in plastic molded boxes. They are not a tight fit. Lids are aluminum without insulation. Very hot. You need to look for detail of you plan on keeping it for the long haul. Triton well I have never owned one of these either but I owned a Stratos which was made by Earl who designed Triton and there isn't a nickel difference in either. Again compare apples and pay close attention to detail. Ranger well all fiberglass compartments and insulated top to bottom. Lids are fiberglass and reinforce their ride in rough water is solid due to all voids filled with flotation foam. They sit lower in the water and the wind doesn't blow them around as much as other models. I am not a salesman but I have owned many boats in the last 42 yrs and its Ranger for me. You can ask all the guys with me when we dumped my Ranger on the ramp at Wister and they will all tell you there isn't many brands out there that would take a hit like that and the gel coat not spider from one end to the other, my Ranger didn't. It's all about preference Josh and I am not talking bad about any brand of boat out there cause today they are all good it's just comparing apples to apples and what you are willing to donate to put one in your driveway. Just my $.02 worth....Ranger
