Still working on it...part time. Check http://highriderpontoon.com/
It's a ton of work every time we modify stuff. I think we need more horsepower to test effectively. Anyone have a 250 to lend us?

I have something a little more tame on the go. How does an automatic docking system sound? No-lines, no fenders, launch and dock from the helm, with full handicapped access. Opinions?

That looks promising.

Any guess on cost?

Here's the problem with that sentence...

Anyone with 250 hp already has lifting strakes sitting in the exact location you want to put your product. 8)

Also, your product seems to be welded to the toons. This would immediately void the warranty on most toons. :paranoid

Yep, Malcom Sohm has been voiding hull warranties for years with his Tap Fins. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

My hull warranty states no mods or welds to the logs...period.

I wonder if that same design was made of fiberglass and glued on to the pontoons, it would be a lot lighter and not void the warranty.

I have just recently installed the Pontoon Water Glide on my Bass Buggy 18. They work.
