Well last night the wife came out with it. She wants to sell the boat and get a pontoon. I'm on the fence. I don't have a "high performance" boat now, but it is a fun little boat to run around in and is a lot quicker than a pontoon:D
But the thought of getting a TOON and rigging it with a LCD TV, LOUD STERIO, BBQ, ECT. sounds like a fun day at the lake.:D
Should I fight it or give in to the TOON :confused: :idea: :D
If I do get a TOON I am going to pull a second toy out of this deal;) v-drive, jet boat, hot-rod, :idea:

They are very comfortable and if you do it right you can still run 40-45mph with a 350 Mag which isn't that slow....

We have a tripple toon with a 225 honda on the back and it will run close to the 50 mark.
I put a jack plate. low water pick ups and some other pump up stuff.
Love the boat and on the water many more hours than our old performance Howard boat.
Great Havasu Boat

You could trade your boat in on one of these. Best of both worlds, it has the deck layout , simular to a pontoon and still has the performance. I checked one of these out and was really impressed.....just a thought

My playcraft loaded up with the huge stereo (4 batteries) and all the goodies will top out at 55 mph....We traded in our deckboat for it.

SO you think your going to sell your boat get a toon and have money left over for something else? Good Luck, just get the toon and you'll also increase your speed by 10 mph.:eek: :D

That is pretty impressive for a pontoon. I'll bet you surprise people when you fly by them .

I like alot about them , but I still want to go fast, So for now i'm keeping what I have. Maybe in the future.... who knows. Besides I would get killed on trading or selling my boat right now.
