    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.

    Yes it appears it was the only single this year but the record set last year was by the 21' Manitou powered by the Etec @ 66mph.

    Yes it was David Dorris and it's the same boat that won the circle race earlier in the year.

    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....

    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.

    No , But they are testing at least three different bottoms. Some are selling now under the Playcraft Xtreme line.
