Yup you don't want your motor falling off in the lake. I had to do the
wood in mine about 28 years ago ;-)
If this is the regular 1.5" keystone looking piece that fits in an
aluminum motor pod, 2 pieces of 3/4" Exterior grade AC plywood
laminated together with waterproof Tite Bond and screwed with
stainless screws will last for quite a while if you seal it with epoxy
resin after you get it assembled. Just be sure to seal the holes where
you mount the motor.
That dent on the nose is what I was talking about when I said hitting
something with one pontoon. Look to see if there is water in them and
do a pressure test for leaks. A TIG guy can fix them pretty easily.

I?m thinking that while I?m pulling the engine anyhow I might as well mount the 115. 80 hp sounds big but this is a big pontoon. I?m not into speed but don?t want to be loaded down and maybe break 20 knots


Does that toon have the lifting strakes to get it up on plane?

I don't know much about toons but I suspect you are destined to
operate at hull speed no matter the HP.

The advice he gave you was good. Ergo, he did.

I thought you had a co-starring role in the revival of a 'toon
series...in which you'll play Un-Wile Coyote.

I’d say so. The waterline does show the front tipped yo for the weight being in the back. It will play a bit. I’m not really sure how many hp it’d take to make this thing plane. It’s sure nothing like a v-hull

Why take that stuff, I can?t see it helped your case any.

Besides I was talking about a more powerful engine and not drugs. But you purposlydidn?t recognize that evidently....


The only ancient outboard engines that interest me are the Merc 10
racing engine from the late 1940s and the Evinrude Lightwin 3 hp engines
from the early to mid-1950s.

No sir, just plain tubes
Strakes don't start helping until you get a much bigger motor on
there. Typically a "go fast" pontoon will have the 3d log and at least
a 250 on it.

Pontoons don't really plane. There is a definite step they get up on
but it is not really planing. They tend to hit a wall after they get
up on the step and a whole lot more power only returns modest gains in
speed.

Agreed. I’ll go 115 and be done with it. If I want fast I’ll get fast. But I do want this to move ...some.
