New single engine Pontoon record at LOTO Shootout
New record for single outboard pontoon- 76mph. It was a 25' Playcraft Hampton Tritoon with full interior powered by a stock 300hp Mercury Verado. The boat had a newly designed step hull. This is 10mph faster than last years record of 66mph with a 21' Manitou Tritoon fishing model powered by a non stock 250hp Etec 250HO.
Pontoon Step Hulls seem to be the new big advance in pontoon performance for straight line speed.

This is Jim's son from playcraft, it is a fully loaded party boat with rear sun loungers and the whole deal. Dean Pink has been working with them on the Hampton line for running surface R & D. I would say they are way ahead of the pack with this deal. By the time that I am ready for one they will be doing 100 as the norm.
Rob,
You are correct but they were racing toons in a circle with us at the LOTO lake race this year and he had them all covered there as well. Congrats to the Dorris crew and family.

What's sad is I talked to 2 out of 3 of you in the last 24 hrs but I can whoop all of the above
Where do I get one of those 66mph 250HO Evinrude racing E-tecs? I called Evinrude they dont make one.
OH BTW I will get on that verado powered toon any day of the week. I'm not scared of a merc, I own 3 right now A step pontoon is the first I've ever seen and the only one to ever run LOTO. Coincidence? Probably not....Last edited by baja200merk; 09-01-2014 at 09:24 PM.

Call Tim Schoening, the owner of Tri Toon Town LOTO who hit a speed of 66mph with a single outboard in his non-modified V-Toon at the 2013 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout.
