    1976 Starlite Restoration (deck, third tube, tiki)

    So after 5 years of fun with my craigslist pontoon boat it is time to restore her. My hope is to go through the process of adding a center tube, replace the deck and completely redo the layout. Along the way I would like to get input from you'all, so I do not make the common mistakes. Wish me...

    Tritoon Add-on to a 1976 Starlite

    So after 5 years of cruising around on my old boat and checking craigslist I found a "cheap" and local third tube to add on to my old pontoon boat. I purchased a 23' and 23" diameter with a transom and 38 gallon fuel tank. I am planning on adding the center tube about 12-16" back from the other...

    1987 Johnson 140hp WOT stall

    I have a 1987 140hp Johnson that stalls when I open her up. I can run all day long at 3/4 power but the moment I go wide open it sputters and stalls. I though it was a fuel problem so I got fresh fuel, fuel filter, new fuel lines, new plugs and wires and ran a heavy dose of seafoam and carb...

    Quad Toon. Am I crazy?

    I got a great deal on two pontoons that are the same size as my current pontoons. I was thinking of making a tri toon but the idea popped into my head of making a quad toon and keeping my current transom. This would be the easiest non fabricating, bolt on application. My question is...

    New to Pontoon Boats. Need Advise

    Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1976 27ft pontoon and I have a few questions. I calculated the buoyancy of the "toons" at roughly 2000lb (26ft pontoons, 19" diameter, half submerged) subtracting the 3 x 50lb batteries, 15 gallons of fuel, motor (140hp Johnson, 350lb) and furniture I find...
