This was not one of their high performance twin engine pontoons. It was powered by a single 225. A magazine was doing a series of boat tests and several builders were there. My builder took one with a 200 Honda,it ran 38 mph,I imagine low 40's on the Playcraft, My personal boat is a trilog w/150,runs maybe 34. Trilog pontoons lean out a little in a hard turn,but it's hard to imagine hooking like that. I never wear a vest or lanyard in my pontoon,always considered a pontoon to be the ultimate safe boat. In fact,I hardly ever see vests worn on any pontoon. This tragedy really makes you stop and think. Prayers to those involved.

:( RIP. Prayers and condolences for the survivors.

It kind of makes you think if they have exceed the speeds designed for pontoons. However, I am sure these builders have done extensive research on them.
