Can't or don't have the fastest pontoon boat on the water.. Well maybe go for the partyest pontoon boat on the water. Have no idea on the cost but it for sure looks for a good time to me...

Re: A Expanding and Trailerable Pontoon Boat
Very clever engineering right there. Wonder what the capacity is and does it change due to platform size???
I am the guy at the boat ramp that gives you dirty looks when you are a complete idiot and too stupid to know it.

Re: A Expanding and Trailerable Pontoon Boat
I agree that it's a pretty cool concept, but I wonder how practical it is.
I notice their website shows it with 115 HP motor. No way that's even close to enough. That thing has to weigh A LOT. The different levels of floor are tripping/toe stubbing hazards and there just seems to be a lot of sharp angles, sharp corners, tight spaces, etc. I'm thinking this is one of those things that looks better on paper than in the realities of day to day use.

Re: A Expanding and Trailerable Pontoon Boat
I am with Steve about places where you can trip or snag a line.
Coming from salt water and boating in remote areas I always look at safety issues first..
I would also not want to tackle maintenance/repair issues. However, I am sure some folks will think its' cool and shell out the cash for one.

Re: A Expanding and Trailerable Pontoon Boat
If the design is implemented well in the real world and not full of flaws, I suspect that they will do well with their target demographic. I see it as a niche product for folks who want a big, tow-able party platform where high performance is not important - but the cool factor is.
Big and ugly but we love our 1999/2000 Crest II DL with a Yamaha F115
Re: A Expanding and Trailerable Pontoon Boat
Trip hazards aside, that is full on get pulled over and ticketed i like concept and anything more than 115 would probably rip it apart, that is alot of torque leverage if you hit a wave at 30 mph...
Great idea and engineering though
What is msrp?
