I welcome any and all experiences dealing with the tritoon...one dealer says they can't even get them without strakes anymore.
Not sure why you would want it without strakes--if you wanna plow through the water, just keep the trim down, if you wanna skip across the water, trim up. We've slammed a few times on our 'toon, which was, as you mentioned, just a timing issue with waves coming from multiple directions. Taking on one set of waves at a diagonal is barely bumpy.

If money is a consideration, check out Harris at Melvin Village--we, and I know Greene's Basin Girl, love ours.

Cheers!
