Pontoon with twin 300's

[Dkrager]

I saw this at the truck stop awhile back and had to take a couple pics.

WOW! Has anyone ever seen anything like it?

I've only seen pictures on the internet. I think those boats are made by Playcraft.

I'd love to see a video of that thing running wide open!!!

A couple years ago a local company, Oddesey I think, set a world record for a pontoon and theres was set up like that, I think they got 92mph or some crazy number like that.

They are out there but there isn't a big market so they are pretty rare.

Seems like a guy with a whole lot of extra money to spend on an odd-ball rig like that, but it's his money!...

How much fuel you think that sucker drinks a hour???

Re: Pontoon with twin 300's

Right about 60 gallons per hour at wide open throttle, but with nearly $50,000 in the 2 motors, gas is probably not an issue for this guy!...

Wow, that is impressive. I wouldn't mine taking it out on the water and seeing what that thing could do. I thought my uncles pontoon was impressive with a 200hp motor. Now 600 thats crazy!

That # got blown away this summer. New record is 100mph by 2 boats in the same event - one with OBs and the other with an I/O.

Re: Pontoon with twin 300's

a tritoon is variety of a pontoon. pontoon doesnt mean 2.

Re: Pontoon with twin 300's

Yep, like OldePharte said, the new record is 100 MPH. A South Bay 925 hit 100 with triple 300 outboards, and a Play Craft I/O also hit a 100. Both runs were at the LOTO Shoot Out this summer. Crazy!

I am impressed, good design to hold up to that power. Where do the wings come out?

Both were great runs to watch from the water. Crazy fast toons!

Sometimes just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. I remember a while back watching a clown on you tube with a 75 or 125 on the back of a 14' alum. fishing boat. Motor trimed up, doing "wheelies". These people just have more money to spend.
