Not a big tune fan but I love a project. It came out really nice! Great work!

Best statement I thought was I didn't want to buy one so I built my own pipe bender. We should get this guy on Alaska "The Last Frontier" Discovery Show. He'd fit right in! Good job!

I like your hydrofoil addition, my wife's pontoon needs something similar badly as it has no bow lift at all. I didn't know the party barges came with a center toon or did you add that also? Nice work I like your tower also. Randy

Thanks guys

I was amazed how well it work the first try out. At about 20mph you can feel the bow lift and the boat takes off. It came with the 3rd pontoon but it only goes back about 6ft. I'm in the process of building a 3rd pontoon that goes from the front to the back and ties into my motor pod.I get alot of water turbulence coming off the 3rd toon now that hits the motor pod causing the prop to slip. Hoping with the 3rd toon It will keep the water turbulence down thus picking up more MPH. The ls1 should help too.

Not a pontoon guy, but man your project is bada$$! Keep up the good work. Everything looks like it was done right despite a "budget" and the time looks intense. You definitely deserve to enjoy that thing!
