I spent Saturday at LOTO on a buddy's Bennington tritoon (2575 I belive) with a 250 SHO Yamaha. We left lake race when everyone is did (very rough water) and I think it handled the rough water better than my 29 ft Baja. Especially considering I was sitting on one of the front couches. We ran 30-35mph the entire time. It wasn't silky smooth and we did get some water spray but it was definitely tolerable for sitting down in front.

Buddy of mine 76yrs old acts like he 36 had a stroke last deer season. Lost pretty much the use of the right side of his body. He still wants to boat he has a Cig TG TS, Baja 36 Outlaw, Sunseeker cruiser and every other toy on the planet scattered over three homes. He loves his toys but has to have ones that cater to his needs now . I read something about a joystick operating pontoon? Is this something that might work? He bought a side by side to replace the 4wheelers and has mastered that. Now he's ready to get back on the loto.

I've often daydreamed about a single stick for steering with throttle trigger. With enough money, anything is possible.
