How is the running attitude - level, bow down, stern down? *What about

power for a boat that size. * Many guys are running 90 hp on much
smaller pontoons.

We have some really big pontoons around here, 50 to 60 ft, used for
running tours. * They usually have a pair of 200s or more.

I was gonna say. 90 hp on a 34' loaded w/ people on the bow end?

it seems a chore for my 30' with an old 85 hp 2-stroke. But I can't
imagine that rig.

Mine sucks gas, too, so Frog's friend shouldn't feel too bad. Yeah,
he needs twins or a conversion.
