If you're interested in something that performs like a v-hull but has space
like a pontoon why don't you just get a deck boat?


I agree. I am probably the biggest pontoon boat fan here but I do
understand I am trading performance for the other pontoon benefits.
There is nothing like the space and stability you get on a pontoon
boat or the shallow water capabilities but you can never get "tubes"
to "fly" in the water like a well designed planing hull.
If you put enough power on something it will go fast but with gas at
$3+ a gallon efficiency is going to be a factor.



Do you fish with yours? Do you fish with yours with a trolling motor?
I've always wondered how they handled in a good breeze with a trolling
motor.
