Re: More hp or add 3rd log

A four blade prop is a waste of money.I had one on a 21 ft bow rider with a 230 hp IO. All I got was more vibration and less speed. And harder to make turns with.

A pontoon is not a bow rider. For some pontoons the four blades work wonders.

Re: More hp or add 3rd log

Ok...bought a 22 foot pontoon that is just the deck and tubes. They are 25 in dia. with lifting strakes my old was 20ft with 23 in dia. tubes with no strakes. I am going to put all the uptop off my 20 footer and stay with my 75 hp etec. Now the question is......Do I set all my top to the rear of the longer deck or to the front? It will actually give me 18 or 19 inches of deck to the front or rear. If I go to the rear all of my engine cabels will fit for sure.

you should be fine at rear with those 25" logs, that thing will be a big improvment over the 23s plus lifting strakes, you could prob plane out in reverse.
