Saw one a few years back with two OMC V8s that did in the mid 70s :D . Boy could that suprize some people :rolleyes:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

GLH come on down to LOTO and you can see some of those pull up to you and run with ya at about 80-85... :eek: :eek: and they actually handle the rough stuff okay, i wouldn't do it, but they do make it through it.... there is a tri-toon with twin 300 PM on it, sucker is fast.....

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

i think the fastest one at the shootout this year was 85 or 86 and he says he has seen 90....... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Record for pontoon boats is like 88mph or so!!! Picture I saw of one running that speed at Lake of the Ozarks shootout looked like it was about to take flight!! Wish I saved it.

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

How long are the hulls good for afterwards?

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

I hope they have fun in the 80's on that ... I'll stay on my rig thank you. :eek:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Yea thats a law suit waiting to happen??? I had one hang with me until about 67mph this past summer.

WILL :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

I don't see what is keeping it from blowing over. Only in time I guess

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

it's the playmate cooler/ ballast tank in the front.... :eek: just plain nuts... :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

yeah GLH, but you don't have a swivel captains chair or seating for 15...... :eek:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

GLH, that boat is FASTER THAN YOURS!!! And cost's well under half what you paid. :cool:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

My mom has a Playcraft tri-log pontoon with a 496 HO, does about 60 and rides awesome.

Located where other than LOTO!!

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

is she hot??

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

If so we need PICS.... :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Gl, What the heck were you searching for to come across that rig?

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Something for you. :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Not in 6' waves it ain't.

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Looking for an outfit that'll take that Baja of yours in trade!

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

There was one at the Baltimore Boat show a few years ago by Bass Tracker I think that had the world record at 112mph, had triple's on it. NUTS!!!!

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Playcraft is the company that pretty much made the term "performance pontoon" a reality, when they designed and pattened some fins that are welded the full length of the logs to provide lift, so it gets on top of the water. I don't have a new one with the twins, but my old '98 with a single 200 EFI runs 50 MPH GPS with two people in it. Now it won't handle the huge 6 footers but here at LOTO with lots of rought chop it does great. Once up and running the fins besides providing lift, also keep the boat smooth, but resisting movement up or down. Of course all the pontoon mfgrs. are now copying the design to compete. Actually one hellova ride.

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

that is cruise speed for todays sport-toon's..... :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Few from LOTO last summer. :D :drink:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

I feel a little better about only getting 55 out of two OMC v-8s in my 3 ton resin bucket.

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

That is some cool chit!! The man that holds the speed record for a pontoon is named Brad Rowland, This may have been surpassed but this was in a Poker Runs mag :cool:

I have a 21 foot Forrester pontoon with a 75 Merc....blistering 26 mph :eek: :evilb: A whole chitload of fun though!

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

APBA Pontoon racing action in Key West. :D :D :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

i think this is the one that ran 85 at the shootout.... :eek:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Think you are right. Have you ever seen any finals on the speeds for the different winners?

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Hey Nick, See that 'toon holding off that copter :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Nope, i even called to see when the website was going to be done and they didn't know... sounded like they were shorthanded or lost their computer guy.... I don't know where else there would be a list, i might call back and see if they can fax me a list and post it on here somewhere...

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

I had checked their site and not found anything either. I plan on being there this coming year and try to get some better shots. The weather kind of sucked last year. :drink:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

If you take into account that there are many performance boats which run 80 mph and under.........IMHO, the most fun you could have on one of these rigs is passing all of them and seeing the expressions on people's faces in getting passed by a freakin pontoon boat!! :eek: :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

my spectre will run north of 100 and it took everybit of 2/3 throttle to take care of one of those guys last summer... he rolled up on me doing about 65 or so and hammered it and i had to get into pretty hard to take care of him.... :eek: you don't want to go back to the docks after getting beaten by a pontoon boat!!!

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Is that where you stop the boat and raise the hatch and say damn had an engine quit? :D :drink:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Kind of makes me want mine to run like that!! I can imagine airing it out past some of the boats on the Chesapeake!! Hey Bob, Do you still have those V-8 OB's? :rolleyes: :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

i will have to use that one if those things get any faster..... :eek: :D

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

Mans gotta do what a man has to do. :D :D :drink:

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

or just get my own, what would insurance be on a 90 MPH flying piece of aluminum?

Re: Yikeeeessssss.
 

I think you just tell the agent you bought a pontoon boat and I am sure it would be about the 10th of the cost for a cat :D :drink:
