    "Flat" pontoons

    I'd want to see a picture. You can't necessarily tell if a pontoon has a leak just because someone says it looks and floats ok. It needs to be checked. If its's not leaking, handling is gonna be a wait and see kinda thing. Since I've never driven a pontoon with that kinda damage, your guess is...

    opinions...snake oil ?or legit.?

    thanks.... and did some googling myself. A couple of boat magazine tests....And found a long thread on some other forum.....basically inconclusive considering all I read. Was just curious if anyone on here could say specifically. looks like no.

    opinions...snake oil ?or legit.?

    Anyone heard of this? Just saw it now. So the thought hits me that instead of getting ny 'toons painted for this up coming season, ($$)...why not try this instead. Since I'd be operating in the upper chesapeake, it's brackish but minimal,

    Vinyl curtain shrinking.

    this might be something you could use. I use'd them for my double bimini top and enclosure, due to canvas shrinking the last 17 years.

    Prop size

    "flex"....ok... I don't know as experienced, and never claimed it as a fact. I said "I think"....and then I said "do research" furthermore, any specific info or statements on "flexing " came specifically from this site and people that are on it....not from any knowledge of mine. So here:.... and...

    Prop size

    general rule of thumb.... Adding a blade, or increasing diameter, or increasing pitch, with everything else being equal, reduces rpm....throw in cupping, different manufacturers adds to the internet propping dilemma. Going from a stainless to an aluminum also effects rpm...I think it increases...

    Hit the Dock!!😳

    yep , pictures standard pontoon construction has "M" brackets welded to the top of the toons and these brackets, at least on mine, are bolted to the "L" shaped stringers running width wise. Its all aluminum, so It's possible you tweaked the alignment, and could've possibly cracked the weld...

    Tritoon maybe

    things to consider: I have a 24', '06 pontoon with twin 25" tubes. I also added a 115hp motor up from a 60 hp . I gained about 6 mph. a 3rd toon adds significant weight and drag. There goes your new added hp. Plus, wouldn't a 3rd toon cause more difficult steering at slower speeds? . I guess...

    Best prop for a pontoon boat?

    I have a 24' pontoon with twin 25" tubes. It came with a merc. 60hp Big Foot, efi, 4 stroke. By myself on a cool day I might almost see 21 mph. Its got a 115 on it now. I can't see yours doing less unless there's a problem. What is WOT RPM?

    Propeller Pitch Selection

    this is the spot on advice. It doesn't matter what a gear ratio is or anything else. You have a starting point and should just go from there. You didn't say if you had a 3 blade or a 4 blade, that makes a difference also in rpm's with everything else being equal. Increasing pitch, diameter, or...
