3 Point Star Lakes belong to everyone that meet the legality of use for that body of water. Imagine all the horror stories from owners on their 'toon when the douche in the cigar boat or jet ski comes blowing by at an unsafe distance rocking them in a huge wake or causing them to perform major evasive action. Be respectful of other peoples choices and you will get respect back. Toons definitely have come a long way, if the demand was not there they wouldn't exist.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when a man finally caves into purchasing a pontoon boat, It's a sure sign of a man who's given up on life. Get a pontoon and the next thing ya know is your Wife is wearing pajamas in public and you're driving a minivan...

And mowing the lawn in plaid shorts, black calf-length socks, and loafers?!

Bunch of whiners.

I honestly don't see what the problem is with a 24' triple pontoon with a 200 Pro XS that will do well over 45mph, turn like a v bottom, can hold 15 people and is around 50K. I understand it isn't for everyone but its like talking trash on someone who has a skiff to fish off of. you need to look at what is a practical decision for the person who purchased it. they also have come an extremely long way when it comes to salt water, but just like anything else its just maintenance? With no carpet and reliable outboards it is the right boat for a lot of people, maybe not you, but a lot of people

This is cracking me up. How many times have people on this site complained about being stereotyped as douchbag cigar boat owners who are running drugs and driving out of control? But now everyone who owns a 'toon is old, fat, stupid, and driving drunk. Why would anyone care how someone else spends their time or money? There is no "right" way to go boating. I love screaming across the water with the exhaust roaring but like to mix it up. I can look at any type of boat and see the benefits.

As far as 'toons go, I love them. Dad's on his second nice one and we use it a ton. I think part of the issue is that there are a lot of people on here who drop their performance boat in, run around WFO by themselves for a little while, then put it back on the trailer. They do that for 20 hours a year and spend the rest of the time working on it. No, the toons aren't exciting do drive but I enjoy hanging out with friends and family. Load it down, crank up the music, and go bar hopping/swimming/lunch runs/etc. Plenty of days we leave before lunch and don't put it back on the lift till way after dark. And you can do it for a ton of hours every season with almost no maintenance. Just my opinions.

Don't get me started on people wearing PJs in public!

Jake, I missed that video but still only made it halfway through it!

I know toons have a place but I still hate the damn things clogging up the lake! Anchor it out in the middle and party on but usually they are just idling around all over.

A toon is a second or third boat. (imo)

And I know the video of the one with a 525 is bound to pop up. What a waste of a good engine.

Boat is awesome......only thing it needs to be perfect is some type of SHADE! Problem is with the lines of that boat, nothing looks good (T-Top or Bimini)

I have a tri toon and I'm pretty sure I haven't given up on anything. Actually my wife is going in for some upgrades this week �� The funnier thing to me is people with offshore boats that drive them on little inland lakes.

To each his own.

There is definitely an effort to change the image of owning a pontoon boat.
