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 inshore lakes

We need some before/after pics to make sure it was a good job! :D

Watch out for your comments on offshores on inland lakes.........there is a very sensitive Gladiator owner that has never put the boat in salt water before! :rolleyes:

Ok, I had a few beers with the boys and got to thinking. Yup, pontoons are a foolish waste of time. Just plain ridiculous sitting out there in all your furniture and all. Old fat drunken bastards ya know!

that would be new prices going back 15 years or so that market had a few more players in it than it does now. some mfgr's gave up on the under 30 market and some gave up totally on the go fast market cig had the 30 vice fountain had the 27 and 29 donzi had the 16 18 and 22 classics and the 22 26 28 zx and 28 zxo. scarab just went away.
The market for the older classic thunderboats is pretty strong and there are a lot of resto's going on . in the newer go fast used market there seem to be some good buys on the 24-30 foot vee bottom a lot of bang for the buck. I have seen 27 fountains and formulas very clean low hours early to mid 2000's model years for 30k-50k that doesn't help the new market either.
