surface drive on a pontoon?
 
as the title states, would this even be possible? for example an i/o pontoon having an arneson asd 6 kit put onto it.

I was wondering if the drive would work on a flatbottom ( Sanger or similar)?

We did a Whipple motor in 1 so why not.

May want to set the pontoon up on blocks at the stern and bow and than load some 55 gallons drums onto the middle and fill them to BEND in a little Rocker.

:There a pic floating around of a 27ft with a Merc 1100 with #6 surface drives. I have it on my work computer.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Pontoons seem to have a lot of "dirty" water that can cause cavitation but that wouldn't affect surface drives as much.

Mines get twin turbos over the winter.

I sold a ASD6 Kit to a guy several years ago for a pontoon boat.

I've seen something like that done with cars but it can cause wheel alignment problems, negative camber and increased tyre wear. (Poor photos, sorry)

Why? Never understood high speed pontoons, inefficient to say the least. Over 60mph buy a deck boat and run Havasu style.
