So I officially joined the dark side of boating. Only took 9 months for to come in. Took it out on the water once and straight to the stereo shop. It's a 2022 regency 250 DL3 With a 300 Mercury hanging off the back with a weird silver spinny thing that I'm not used to.

Sweet. I am in the same “boat” as you in terms of making the switch. Have had the toon for 2 years now and many nice things about it. Mine is actually faster than my Yamaha 21 ft boat I had.

I am still in my break in time. Can't run wide open yet but can't wait to. But from what i have seen here in FL that 300 should push that floating living room up in the mid to upper 40s

Make it standard practice for anyone to get on and off the boat via the front deck ladder. Avoid that prop altogether.

Congrats. Lots of good times ahead for you and yours.

Congratulations!!

We had a pontoon before the Yamaha and really loved it but it was just time for something different. I'm sure you'll love it.

Its pretty damn loud. Needs to be tuned a little. This a pic next to a Ar240. I could have pulled back a few more feet.

Very nice! I really like the color combo you went with. I want the same flooring material that is snap in for my Yamaha and ditch the carpet. Have fun keeping those black toons clean!

When drifting a jetboat isn't enough so you drift a pontoon.
:cool:

The Dark side is a surf boat! I’m not sure what side a pontoon is, the logical side. It’s looks awesome, congrats!
