K.K. I didn't have a Landau p-toon boat but I did have a tri-toon made here in Bartow. The 1st thing you will notice is it rides MUCH!! better than the standard p-toon, it also handels weight much better. I beleave they offer what they call "performance strakes"--pieces if aluminum angle welded to the inside of the outer logs and both sides of center log, get these they work! Mine had a old very tired 200 efi on it and would run 44 on GPS with three full groan men and three 150 guart coolers full of ice and be..drinks You also will notice how dry they ride compaired to the regular boats. I loved mine but the truck hated it. I will get another one when I get a new truck! Hope that helps, Mike T.

If I were looking at performance oriented pontoons, I would go with Playcraft. We used to sell them. They're a great boat. I really liked the entrance that's cut into the back of the pontoon. Plus they build them with the lifting strakes and they're very into performance.

We had a 26' that would run 60 with a 2.5 carb motor on it and that's probably not the best pontoon motor.

Their X-Treme toon comes standard with triple logs, decked over (or actually under) tunnel deck, and the rac-r-fins, hydraulic steering and it's pretty bitchin' looking for a pontoon boat.

if you want a badd ass pontoon look at the new LOWE 25 JAMICA....

triple pontoon, lifting strakes, 4.3 mercruiser (190 hp)

double bimimi tops
cd w/sirrius sattelite radio
4'x5' rear sun deck that pops up for a changing room with a porta potti.

1 piece floor, no seems

best furniture there is for a pontoon and very nice carpet...

this boat runs over 40mph,, gets killer gas ecomony and rides like its on air...

ive owned several outboard pontoons, the I/O is the only way to go,, if you get a chance find a LOWE dealer and check out the jamica pontoons,, they have a 22' and the badd ass 25',,,, i took one to smith bend last year,, ask those guys, they will tell you,,

if you want a deal on one let me know,, ill sale you my demo (2005) with 2006 upgrades,,, full warranty and loaded....

Hey KAPTAINKIRK...I have one word for you...BENNINGTON....BEST in the biz...We have sold a bunch of what we call hyper-toons...25" triple pontoons with the performance plus package (includes hydraulic steering, lifting strakes,under-deck wave shield, solid keels, all the go-fast stuff)...One of my customers just took delivery of a 25' perf plus tri-toon that we rigged w/a 225 4-stroke Yamaha...It will gps @ 52 mph!!!...BENNINGTON makes, what I believe, is head & shoulders above the rest...(JD POWERS `1st place 3 years running)...Choose WISELY KAPTAIN!!!...Need any info, let me know...EM: [email protected]...

[VELOCITOY]

KAPTAIN...One more thing...BENNINGTON is located close to you(Elkhart,Indiana), and they do a mean I/O package(s) as well...

i would have to say that premier has a very nice pontoon,there well built and there seats our all plasic,no wood..you can get alot of extra's that make them untouchable,nice raido's, wet bars, bathrooms/dressing rooms,hell thay even have one thats 10 foot wide try finding another that has that.just my 2 cents,i work with these thing day in and day out,and these are some great pontoons,,,here is a web site for them www.premierboating.com.. good luck

[Bennington]

but the widebody....thats what they call it...(10'beam model with a roof and slide)...I have or could have had from bennington that premier offers also.....

Just that the folks at premier wouldn't give my wife the time of day at the chicago boat show....Thats there loss..

I am not knocking Premiers boats....they looked fantastic.....just didn't like there attitude or the way they treated people,of course that probably reflects the local dealer not the company.

I have been around 50,000.00 pontoons since 1996 and both premier and bennington are the cadillacs and lincolns of the toon industry.

Oh by the way everybody the premier widebody is 90,000.00
