    That being said, could you please consider doing yourself a favor and upgrade to a jackplate that’s rated for your nice new 450R? I’d hate to see you looking for it underwater or worse yet, something happen to you or passengers. Just sayin...

    What’s your next prop to try?

    Looks like a couple of STV inverted vee pads with the patio bolted on, hard to believe the speeds pushin a barn door out front.. hope all that stuff in the hurricane winds up front is bolted down good... Hats off to the guy that welded up that little center pod.

Yes, the world's fastest and most comfortable living room. Still not my cup of tea thank you.

    My wife has a 24' Bennington Tritoon that planes off with a 200 on it. Yes it can fly over some big lake chop very comfortably but just is not that fun for me. I mean the thing is nice, it was 47K new.

    Trying a 5 blade 28p that's supposed to have better slip numbers and a little bigger diameter.

    Just out of curiosity, what's that hull rated for as far as HP goes? The transom doesn't look all that meaty.

    Someone studied the old Misty Harbour pontoon before they built these...Very impressive speeds that you are seeing with it.

    Technically that is not a pontoon,toons need to be round. That's a deck boat tunnel.
