Most of my neighbors at our lake house have pontoons. Everythings all good as long as they travel a couple miles from the launch then tie up in a cove. Now, mention we want to take a longer cruise, say 20-30 miles and they all whine! "It's too far! It's too rough! It takes too long!" I'll go to a toon when my wheelchair won't fit on the boat!!!!

I have never been to LOTO would love to go someday, but my boat when up on "plane" handles 3ft just fine, I think it actually handles them better then most 20 and under bow-ride. I understand that 3ft are small but the "big" lakes that I have been on that's a good wave.

I dont come to this site to convince people to buy a toon, I come here to learn and figure out what kinda of speed boat I want to buy next, that way I can have the best of both worlds :)

LOTO is different than most lakes. Those 3 footer are real, but unlike "big" lakes, they come at you from all directions! 2 50ft cruisers side by side coming up the channel will make all but the biggest ballers slow down!!!

The 3 logged pontoon boat is the ride of choice for many people @ LOTO.....they seem to have taken the place of the envision bow riders and
other large single engine boats, even the 29 outlaw single that Big Thunder use to sell.

A few of my friends have Playcrafts that I've rode on and they get around fine....the key is having one with the large diameter tubes.

its about time for someone to add a beak and then come the steps on the toons ......wait for it......lol

Saw a earlier post abought towing a toon vs a v hull, yep big time. I get far better mileage hauling my 26' Spyder with bbc then pops little toon with 45hp merc, 65 mph with dodge 5.9 cummins . This gives me great idea.
