Aluminum Fishing Boats:

Aluminum Fishing Boats, Triton Boats, On boats, power or sail, that have a mast with a gaff, the U.S. ensign should be flown at the peak of the gaff. On Marconi-rigged sailboats, it can be flown from the leech of the aftermost sail, two-thirds of the way up. It is never displayed on a sailboat while racing. On powerboats, and optionally on sailboats, the U.S. flag is flown at the stern. On sport-fishing boats, where it would obstruct normal fishing activity, the ensign can be flown from a halyard rigged on the centerline just aft of the tuna tower.

aluminum fishing boats: Remove oil and grease with cleaning fluid. Use a clean-er-wax-polish combination to treat bare aluminum fishing boats. For painted aluminum fishing boats, use mild soap and water or auto-body polish-cleaner.

Radar is an excellent means of marine navigation and is used on vessels of all sizes, down to triton boats of about twenty feet in length. Although not installed on all recreational triton boats, its capabilities and limitations should be known to all boaters for their own safety when cruising on waters navigated by radar-equipped vessels.

The prudent skipper will have a thorough knowledge of the Rules that apply to all types of triton boats and ships that operate on waters that he or she uses. The official text of the Rules are in the Coast Guard publication Navigation Rules, International-Inland, which is available at most chart outlets. The major requirements that apply to recreational triton boats are listed briefly here.
