    I'm a bit jealous of how a pontoon boat can just open the front door and nose up to a dock to pick up and drop people off😂. I don't think there's a better family lake boat design for a swim platform camping platform and fishing. I wouldn't buy one for sport as long as it can get me back to the dock at a decent speed so I can get out of a approaching storm I'd be happy.

    I'm looking into a pontoon but ended up getting a small one due to I have a 4 door jeep and that is all it can pull. Please due a show on tow vehicles needed to pull your boat.

    I live in Southwest Florida where the water is very, very shallow. A stern drive where the prop is deeper in the water is a disadvantage over an outboard here even when the water is rough because there are a lot of great places to go where you’ll hit the bottom with a stern drive.

    Currently on my third toon, first one was a fixer upper to get the covered slip. Second was an insurance salvage unit that needed a few repairs. Just retired and bought a two year old 22 ft tri-toon with a 150 hp engine. My slip rental is $2,500 annually and winter storage is $900, Break out another thousand.

You’ve just given me some great info which has along with our initial choice, cause looks as though and quite by accident I might add, have bought a pretty decent older toon!thanks for the video!!

    Very good video ... NEEDED ADVISE ... I am planning to buy a mid-level pontoon . My vision at the moment is to keep it on marine and once or twice a season go to some other lake for a couple of days, like people do with a boat. Plus, kids can learn how to ski. In Canada, the boating season is short.
    I'm thinking of a 20ft tritoon with a 150hp engine, because it will be more difficult to drive with pontoon bigger size.
    I guess this design gives more stability in rougher and calm water.
    Is it practical to drive pontoon to different location? Is this a reasonable modification or it is overbuild ? Any particular brand you can recommend ?

    In general, when does it make sense to get "the bigger engine" option? For example, does the difference between a 200hp Yamaha and a 250hp Yamaha justify the added cost? When does spending the extra money on a bigger engine make sense? Thanks!

    What do you think about the tow loop that goes around the back of the outboard?

    • @andrewpowell4727
      @andrewpowell4727 2 года назад

      Yes the turbo swing. I think when I get a new pontoon, I will be adding one. Not just to pull tubes but also for engine protection when backing into a slip or somewhere that may damage the engine.

    • @BoatBuyersSecretWeapon
      @BoatBuyersSecretWeapon  11 дней назад

      That’s a short boat for a 250. But depends on size of tubes and weight of boat…. I’d guess 40+ maybe better

    Too much emphasis being put on a continuous M-rail vs intermittent brackets on top of the pontoons.
