Re: I don't like pontoon boats

Nothing like $50K worth of engines strapped to a $25K boat in order to hit 100mph on nothing but smooth water, lol. Interesting concept that shows with enough horsepower you can make anything fast! I'd still never own a pontoon, even with those Merc 300+HP engines hanging off the back.

It looks like fun for a few minutes but how often is the lake that smooth?

Looks like fun if you like riding 100mph in a boat that doesn't have adequate seating for safety (imo) and if a wave from another 20'+ boat was crossed would have a high probability of launching itself into the air or plowing into the wave with such force that it would throw the occupants out of the boat. No thanks, lol. Go spend $50K or so on an offshore boat that'll run the same top speed and is equipped to deal with the waves and speed in a safe manner.

To the guys' credit, he's got some brass ones.

Re: I don't like pontoon boats

When you stop the weight of those motors drags the stern down. The flat party deck looks to be about 10 degrees tilted.

Why pay 10's of thousands of dollars for oversized motors to make a boat so stern heavy as to make it just goofy?

Unless it's to win the award as the "Fastest Stupid Boat!"

Re: I don't like pontoon boats

I think I could see a good Ron Burgundy commercial for the company who made this. You know he could talk about the rich corinthian leather, The size of it's glove box, or the fact that you can practically blow the clothes off the occupants at over 100 miles per hour. Hillarious and Ridiculified!!!

That's neat that he did over 100, looks entirely impractical.
