My name is Ron, and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I just joined the forum, and want to thank everyone for all of the useful information I found here. It was a considerable help in deciding to purchase a 2003 170DC with a whopping 30 hours on it. I've been retired for about five years, and decided it was time to upgrade from my 10 year old Port-A-Bote with a 3HP engine. I'll be picking the Triumph up next week, and look forward to getting it in the water.
