Thanks for all the replies. I only went with the 115 horse. It was already over my budget, but I really wanted the triton. Do you think it will be underpowered? All I am wanting it for is crusing and pulling the kids on tubes. All my buddies still have wakeboard boats, so I will be doing my skiing and boarding with them. My boat will be more of the central hub boat.
I previously owned a Four Winns v hull and went to a pontoon with a 115hp on it as well. Plenty of power for me...we tube, ski and wakeboard behind it with no problems. The pontoon handles the waves so much better than a v hull that I actually cruise faster with the pontoon.

Welcome to the club, JNorris79. You'll find a wealth of information here and a few differing opinions. But that's not a bad thing.
