Triton 21 TrX: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Triton 21 TRX Elite is a high-performance fishing boat designed for serious anglers, powered by the new 250 horsepower Mercury Pro XS outboard engine. This model emphasizes speed and torque, featuring Mercury's naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 powerhead that delivers enhanced low and mid-range RPM torque, specifically tuned for bass fishing applications.

Power and Performance

Measuring 21 feet in length overall with a beam of 95 inches, the Triton 21 TRX Elite has a dry weight of 1,840 pounds. During testing, with full fuel and one person aboard, the estimated weight was 2,812 pounds. Equipped with the Mercury Pro XS 250 and a 24-inch Fury propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 73.7 miles per hour while consuming 24.5 gallons per hour. Its optimal cruising speed was 37.9 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, burning 9.6 gallons per hour, which translates to approximately 3.9 miles per gallon and a cruising range of 167 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was impressive, reaching 20 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 7.4 seconds, aided by Mercury's electronic control of transient spark calibration that increases torque by 5 to 7% for improved acceleration. Handling characteristics reflect the boat's bass fishing design, favoring straight-line speed rather than sharp turns, making it ideal for quickly reaching fishing spots.

Mercury Pro XS 250 Outboard Features

The Mercury Pro XS 250 is a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 four-stroke engine designed for torque and efficiency. It features a 20-inch shaft with a Torque Master gear case optimized for semi-surfacing operation, suitable for fast bass boats that ride mostly on the surface. The lower unit includes a horizontal plate above three side pickups and distinctive nose pickups on the torpedo for enhanced performance. Maintenance is simplified with an access door on top of the cowling, providing easy reach to the engine oil dipstick, oil fill cap, and hourly service decals. A red button releases the cowling latches automatically. Internally, the engine houses an alternator atop the powerhead, an oil filter, fuse box, throttle body, and a performance-tuned long runner intake manifold. Advanced electronic engine controls include adaptive speed control, which maintains a set RPM regardless of load changes, and advanced range optimization that leans fuel burn for better efficiency during long runs.

Cockpit and Fishing Features

The cockpit is designed for comfort and functionality for two anglers. Between the seats is a console with a step, beverage holders, and storage for a landing net behind the port seat. The passenger seat includes grab handles and additional storage cubbies. The helm features a 12-inch touchscreen Lowrance fish finder with integrated Mercury Active Trim and Vessel View displays, flanked by analog gauges for speed, RPM, fuel, trim, and water pressure. Switches are conveniently located below the helm dash on oval panels, alongside a carbon fiber effect panel housing stereo controls, a power pole controller, ignition, and USB plug. The custom hot foot throttle pedal allows the driver to maintain hands on the wheel. Forward, the self-draining cooler with a gasketed lid is located under the bow step. The spacious casting deck includes three in-deck storage boxes with wide-opening lids for rods and gear, a pedestal fishing seat, a trolling motor, and a flush-mounted fish finder. The stern casting deck offers additional tackle storage with two in-deck boxes flanking dual livewells.

Conclusion

The Triton 21 TRX Elite, enhanced by the Mercury Pro XS 250 four-stroke V8 outboard, offers a compelling combination of speed, torque, and fishing functionality. Its design caters to pro-level anglers seeking rapid transit to fishing locations and ample storage and operational features for tournament-level bass fishing. Overall, the Triton 21 TRX Elite represents a refined and powerful fishing platform that successfully integrates advanced engine technology with practical angling amenities.
