I'm thinking about replacing our 11 year old pontoon boat and am just starting to look around. I know I'm a little limited by the budget, but I don't need a top-of-the-line model for pulling the kids on a tube.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Look into a JC Spirit, not the most stylish but a very nice boat that is very useable. I would get a 4 stroke outboard no less than 100 hp. Goodluck

Hurricane boats we have a 21 with a 150 yam on it, we had 7 people on it last week,and we went tubingall last week. Great little boat, take that out more then the Nor-Tech.

all bs aside! donzi z23 deck boat...a few guys on donzi.net just bought a couple and they love them...stepped hull too! ..dont mind the dork in the video..
