81 MPH Pontoon Boat

**vector mike** · 06-18-2003, 07:31 PM

Saw this article in this months "Trailer Boats". It's a 26 1/2 ft pontoon boat that has twin 300 Pro Maxes on it. The test Was done at Mercury's Lake X. Just incase you couldn't read it.

81 mph with plenty of room for a grill and keg, cant beat that.

**RedAllison** · 06-18-2003, 08:55 PM

I believe he has beat that (83) with his tritoon and it only had twin 225s on it. He has another that is wearin a solo 225ProMax and its clockin 61.

I would LOVE to have that rig in a bass tournament and put everyone else on the trailer! Who would admit to being dusted by a toonie?

lmfao,

ps
Sure cheaper and easier to maintain than one of those $150K, 100+ mph California partycats!!!

i live on lake tarpon and i have a 20 ft bass tracker with the b scratched off of it we party on when the mirage is not on the water and it bas a 3rd pontoon 1/4 of the way back with a 115 jonnyrude on it and i thought it moved pretty damn good, but in the 80;s that is nuts.im mean i race the elderly folks and i smoke them but that is insane for a pt.

Like passing a searay or some other small cruiser with a toon full of people waving at them and see the owner lean on the throttle like its gonna come up with more hp all of a sudden and then ya just keep on pulling by him as all of us on moms toon raise our glasses to the searay as we go buy!
(can ya tell I beat up onda searay owners in our area!!)

Ever see a toon launch outa the hole like one of our fast boats and then plane off........Moms toon does......
Its cool watching the look on somebodies face the first time they go out with you on it....
Also the look on someones face when they are cruzin wide open and see ya coming out of the side of there vision...there head turns to look and then they look twice they can't believe its a toon passing them.
Kinda funny watching peoples forearm flexing and leaning on the go stick like there is anymore there to get

Been on odyssey's 70+ mph toon it was with twin ruderams.
That was a rush!
Dad and I drew up plans for a 18 or 20 footer toon with a 2.5 on the back. Odyssey was willing to build it half way for us...but then I went with the Riot.
Still think a 20 foot toon with a reverse radar arch and a killer sound system doing 80+ would rock!!
Hell if I had one I would enter it in the grudge drags!!

K.K.

The question I have to ask is, who would want to go 80 in a pontoon? That is really strange. However, I would love to see the look on the face of some Baja/Fountain owner as you blew by them in that booze cruiser.

when I read the thread I was expecting a deck boat. I remember in Hot Boat years ago ( I think Warlock) built a deck boat on there offshore tunnell ( I think 24') with twin 200 Johnsons went (I think) low 70's. It was funny they had a picture with about 6 or 8 bikini clad girls sitting on the front trying to smile with the skin on there faces peeled back.

BUT, GEEZE !!! this is an aluminum pontoon boat....that's insane!!

**heath brinkley** · 06-19-2003, 01:36 PM

Now, I just wonder, some lightweight flooring, loose a couple seats, a little more engine hieght, ditch the side rails, lighten up the console......hmmmmm....85....90.
