What would be the pros and cons of adding a 3rd toon I have 1998 25 ft sun tracker thanks for any info.

Pro more floatation, so more people can be on board, will sit higher in the water and not plow as much.

put one on mine and gained a smoother ride and before my top speed was 17-18mph after log install, 21-22mph

my center log is only 12' as to not disturb water to the prop

Pros - smoother ride, more buoyancy, more speed.
Cons - it cost money.

Welcome
Lots of pros. The only con I see would be cost and having it properly installed. Have heard mixed reviews on the water glide, most dealt with the install it seems.

Some have added a larger and/or lower mounted third toon to give you a bit better handling as well but you may want to be careful with this... I think three pontoons is an overall better way to go... Better safety, stability and capacity for your boat!

OK, my logs are 25' long and 26" wide. If I added a third log, would it need to be the same diameter and only 15' or so long?
