I Jumped Ship!

I got rid of my yamaha sx240. But still in the yamaha family. I never thought i would own a pontoon but after riding in one last summer i was sold. 45mph with 4 of us. I love this site and will troll daily.

Congrats. That thing looks quick just sitting on the trailer!

 

[Ilmmct]

Congrats ... see myself in a pontoon in the future as well.

Those VMAX SHO are great motors!

Yeah the pontoons today are nothing like they were back in the 80's and 90's. I never thought I would say I like a pontoon, but my cousin got a new one a few years ago and I was really impressed.

Nice Party Barge!! Enjoy!

Thats one serious tritoon. Nice and congrats

I looked at pontoons and loved them. My only reason for not getting one was towing it would be more difficult and I want to use it in the ocean. The new toons are very nice though.

Wow, I did the same thing and went with a 2016 Bennington 2575 RSB with a 300hp Yamaha in January. These new tritoons handle rough water with ease and are really fast with a smooth ride. Loved my Jet Boat, but at 67 it was time for a more relaxing ride for me and my guest. Handles the Gulf just fine.

A Tri-toon has crossed to Bimini before

I went from the 25ft pontoon to an SX210. Of course my pontoon was 14 years old. So now I have a new and faster toy.

I know, I have a friend that goes from Cape Coral to the Keys in his tritoon.

My new tritoon is faster than the old Jet Boat.

 

[John McLaughlin]

I had 115 mercury on the back of Bennington. It would top out around 30MPH, so the sx210 should be a great improvement.

By the way that Bennington looks great, mine held up well for many years.

Thanks guys!!!

Went to the Havasu boat show a couple of weeks ago and the pontoons were impressive, and selling like hot cakes. I couldn't believe the size of the outboards they were hanging on some of those bad boys...twin 350s...jez!!

Nice pontoon I just brought mine home to buff toons before putting on lift

My brother just took delivery of his new 22'AquaPatio this past Wednesday. I took the day off to hang with him.
It has the 150hp Yamaha and scooted along at 44-45. Very smooth ride.
I was impressed. Especially liked the bar.
