A pontoon does have a step but you can't really call it planing.

Ever seen one of these?http://www.pontoonwaterglide.com/
Not cheap but pretty interesting.

That's a lot cheaper than the 3rd pontoon option when buying a new
boat. Looks like it would give you some, but not nearly all of the
benefits as well. But if you had an older 2 toon boat you were happy
with and just wanted to upgrade on the cheap, I could see it.

I watched the before/after vid and it looked good. Then I watched the vid
again on the PTX, man that thing is awesome! Maybe mine could be "almost
awesome" or "semi-awesome" with the $1,800 kit :-} Or at least enough to
keep the kids awake.
'Course, I'd probably also have to step up from my 50hp 2 cycle.....
