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

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.....

I just went back to the site and watched the videos. It's pretty
impressive! I have a friend who will be interested in that... I'm
betting he'll have one by mid-summer after he sees the video.

But right now I'm headed out to the lake. Another couple is coming
over, and we're going to eat lunch at one of the marina/restaurants
and spend the afternoon out on the water. It'll be a slow, putt-
around kind of day. :-)

It was fun. In the end, even with the big motor and PTX, we spend
probably 90% of our time poking around at 2500 rpm or just floating
and swimming. It's all about relaxing and having fun, right?
