    Default Question about Pontoons

    The Warden decided she wants a toon. We have seen a few in the 22--24 foot range we like. Ironically they both have had 115 Yamaha four strokes on the rear. How fast will that push a toon in the range mentioned above. Do you loose any speed with a tritoon same length and motor vs a pontoon?

    We have a 26 ft Sanpan pontoon with a Yamaha 115 four stroke,

    Flat out on still water it will hit 21 mph.

    I was looking for a pontoon and ended up with a deck boat. The deck boat has the same seating as the pontoon, but can get on top of the water instead of plowing. I can also pull wake boards and tubes with no problem.

    I suspect you will want more HP. My FIL has a new 22ft Tritoon and it has a 200hp 4S. It certainly is no speed demon- especially with 6 adults on it.

    I'm not looking for a speed demon but not a snail either. If I can get around 25 I will be okay with that,
