    Tritoon maybe

    things to consider: I have a 24', '06 pontoon with twin 25" tubes. I also added a 115hp motor up from a 60 hp . I gained about 6 mph. a 3rd toon adds significant weight and drag. There goes your new added hp. Plus, wouldn't a 3rd toon cause more difficult steering at slower speeds? . I guess...

    Best prop for a pontoon boat?

    I have a 24' pontoon with twin 25" tubes. It came with a merc. 60hp Big Foot, efi, 4 stroke. By myself on a cool day I might almost see 21 mph. Its got a 115 on it now. I can't see yours doing less unless there's a problem. What is WOT RPM?

    Propeller Pitch Selection

    this is the spot on advice. It doesn't matter what a gear ratio is or anything else. You have a starting point and should just go from there. You didn't say if you had a 3 blade or a 4 blade, that makes a difference also in rpm's with everything else being equal. Increasing pitch, diameter, or...

    boat storage

    I've heard rumors over the years that mothballs help to repel critters.. I know of no proof. I use 'em in my shed. I've never had a critter issue in my pontoon boat, so I haven't done that yet. But it's cheap.

    New (old) hard top pontoon owner

    that is how I check for leaks in my toons. Each toon has 3 separate sections with a plastic screw in cap on top. In the fall I unscrew the caps and listen for air either coming out or going in. If needed, I use my shop vac to inject air if I suspect anything. I had a leak a few years ago. The...

    Toon leak

    see the vertical welds on my one toon? My 25' toon has three seperate sections, a nose, middle, and aft toon sections, identified by these two vertical welds. If you have sections I would think you'd have welds like that. Each section has a plastic, screw in plug on top, no drain plug. I check...
