Out of about 20 seniors were I stay, I am the only one WITHOUT a pontoon.

I looked at a V8 poontoon going by. But then told my Chaparral.

"Rest easy. You & me are going to a Viking Funeral someday. "

Back up to 50 mph. WAAAHOOO :)

Re: i shoulda bought a pontoon. anyone else feel that way?

funny you should say that... i noticed in the dimensions that the 4 person is huge!

how do you inflate/deflate it and how long does that take? you're saying that it's strong enough to pull kids on? slow speed, right? thanks for the input. lowest price i see on this is $260. about what you paid?
Yea with 3 boys my motto is the bigger the better. I air it up with my air compressor out in the garage. It does take awhile though, the AC is small. Once filled, it will be good to go. Are you kidding me on the speed, kids hate slow! I'll take off slow but then it's on! I bought mine at gander mountain, on sale. I forget price but you are in the area, no more. It really was a good buy for us, get the best life jackets for your crew, ain't no saving pennies there. They fall off at speed you want them popping back up, no compromises there. I have pulled 3 160-200lb teens at speed for miles.

I think Mike Zee was talking about a 4 person towable (correct me if I'm wrong Mike). The float island thing you're looking at is not meant to be towed at speed.

Look on the iboats site under Boating Acc. Watersports. The 4 person tube is real close to the one i have. 96" is big. Mine is 100" so your right there on size. Dont forget adding a good tow rope to the budget.

Anchor/tie up/beach the boat, drag the tube under a nice shade tree, get yourself a cold refreshment, kick back and reflect on the day. Hell, maybe the better half will join ya.;)
