If I could change one thing about my barge, it would be it was a tritoon with strakes. A little more speed would increase my range.

My next toon will be a bit smaller with more power for easier towing and more range in a given time. Really want another Playcraft as I am quite impressed with its strength and rough water capability...just don't want that Playcraft price, though!!!
