Turning Too Fast In A Pontoon Boat...

I was looking at a toon this summer where the center tube was bigger and ran deeper than the outer ones. Sort of a pad type deal I guess

Give the guy a break fellas. He seen the bottom thought it was a modvp tunnel. It could happen to anyone.

Rock

Yeah give the poor fella a break, he’s already catching from his wife

. Lord, hope she wasn’t on board, or he’s really catching it!

I’m surprised how well it floats upside down. The floats aren’t even touching the water !

Nice level buoyancy

like riding a motorcycle, there are consequences for your actions

Those are all factory strakes. Trust me on this one, we sell that brand. All of ours float the other side up though.

hot dang I found a pic similar. The one I saw looked like the center tube was noticeably bigger than this one, but it was sorta like this I didnt spend too long looking at it just noticed it is all. They call this v-toon tech

All I can hear is "We're kind of heavy with eight people aboard, but let me show y'all what this baby will do..."

Well I guess its a tunnel boat in a way?

Get rid of 1/2 of those outboard "strakes" and it will push the tail end around when in a turn instead of hi-siding. If it can't slide, the thrust of the motor just pushes the boat over. Fairly simple hull dynamics. But when you build at a boat with a living room sitting on the deck it leaves a lot to be desired regarding the balance of the hull. Make them top heavy and they will turn turtle. Especially when most of the flotation is below the waterline. Rubber duckie in the bathtub flotation theory 101 type of stuff.
