I'd also want to know, I have a 20 foot "bizyboat" pontoon with a 60 horse mariner (60 horse is the maximum horsepower) and the boat will only go 20 mph!

Hey Steve,
* *I saw an ad foir some pontooon Mfg. that set the speed record. They built a p-toon with twin outboards. I forget there horsepower but they were big, 225 or 250 I believe. I thought that they should've went all out and hung twin 300hp pro-maxes. HE HE!!!

I've seen a pontoon that had 3 pontoons and a 300 on it. The owner of it said that it would go 55, but the picture of a pontoon going 55 just doesn't seem right.

the tri-toon is a nice boat it has one big sponson in the mid and two smaller ones to the outside like normal pontoon.they do run faster because when they are at speed they are on the one in the mid which has less drag than the two outer ones.and they handle well.

The one that set the r4ecord ran around 76 mph. Smoking fast nad it was also a tri-toon.
