Re: Found our used pontoon,test drove and now confused

We are just about to buy a used 22ft. 2008 tritoon with a Mercury 115 EFI. We took a test drive and were taken back by the MPH. Private lake, no swells, no real wind. WOT at 22? Three adults on board. No lifting strakes.The engine has 292 hrs. Could this be the problem? It is extremely clean and in what looks to be excellent condition. Hate to let it get away,but we can't deal with top MPH of 22. We want to cruise,pull tubes and fish. looks to be the standard black painted prop. I don't know the pitch. Just a three blade. We don't want to risk the purchase and stay at this speed. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you

Had the boat been in the water for a while? We would loose 4 to 5 mph over the season if I didn't keep the logs clean. You didn't notice the gradual loss as the growth built up, but after I cleaned them, holly cow what a difference. I had a Harris Float Bote with 135 hp I/O. I was really surprised at the difference in growth on aluminum as opposed to fiberglass and much harder to scub off.

So is this a Quadtoon? We've got a pontoon, and around here it is a pontoon, a runabout, a ski boat or a wakeboard boat - and then there is the catchall - fishin boat which describes something that is not adequate for any of the above
