You are asking great questions. There has been much posted about Tritoon starting back in March this year during the boat shows. You might want to go back and check out some of the information.
Just recently I asked those who have Tritoons what did they get for WOT (wide open throttle). That thread had some great responses.
To answer your question about deep v fiberglass vs. Tritoons I sold my 32' Scarab with twin 454 engines and bought a Tritoon. I used to be, in my younger years, an Offshore Power Boat racer. Simple fact, I and especially my wife and family love the Tritoon. And so do I.
Just today, I was over at Channel Marine and a young guy who had a new 32 Baja cruised over to me and said "that is beautiful boat". "That is going to be my next one". "So much room and I can get all my friends on the boat". Then he asked "what kind of performance do you get". I said just short of 50 GPS MPH. Wow is all I hear when he cruised off shaking his head
I tested and sea trialed 5 tritoons. All were great. I took one out in 25 knot winds out of the NW with 4 foot waves and all white water. Ran that tritoon WOT from Wiers Channel to Rattlesnake and back. Not a single drop of water came on the boat. It was amazing.
I would never go back to a bowrider!!! No comparison period! If you want to go for a ride and learn about my experience with testing 5 tritoon manufactures let me know. All have different hull designs. Some are better than others. Each has a different lifting strake design and "M" channels. That makes a huge different in performance. I actually went on a manufacture factory tour before I made my decision. Just give me a PM anytime.
Good luck in your search. I would be happy to help.
