Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Hi I am new here and in search of a pontoon, I presently own a 2006 Sea Ray 185 Sport and do my of boating on the St. Lawrence River, so I am thinking of buying a pontoon with 25" diameter pontoons for more stability on the river and nothing older than a 2008, so I guess I will be asking a lot of questions from you experts

Welcome Will!

In your considerations, you might want to look at getting a tri-toon. 3 tubes are much smoother riding than 2.

Thanks Bob but a lot more expensive than I can probably afford

Welcome and just ask away.

Welcome from the State of Jefferson

I was issued a command from the Admiral (that's how we refer to our spouses here). She said "We will have a tritoon. Period." The idea is that more "endowed" women definitely appreciate the smoother ride. As one of our passengers said on our boat, "Wow, I don't even have to wear a sports bra under my swimsuit!"

Bob would have said ,you don't even have to wear your swimming suit, if not for the look from the Admiral

Welcome, hope you find the toon to fit you and your pocket book, remember you can always get an older one and fix it up, mine was old when I got it, then most of the furniture went, I was getting by with lawn furniture, then two years ago my brother and I took it all apart and made it new again, so don't pass one in good shape except for above deck looks.

Nice job

Will,

There are a lot of used toons out there. Sometime you just have to do some driving to find the good ones. My first was a used Sweetwater great toon paid 12,000 for it after a couple of years I got stupid and traded it for a deck boat. As you can see from my signature I got smat again. Toons are the greatest for family fun. Fishing, riding and grilling. Yes when you get the toon you will need a grill. Nothing better then on the water with the family and grill a few burgers and dogs.

Sounds good Bob
