new to pontoons

Does the extra tube (tri-toon ) have more capacity than a pontoon of same size and hp?

The third pontoon ads buoyancy so a tri would have a higher capacity than a 2 tube boat. I don’t have boats handy to compare placards.

Probably....I've got a twin, 25" diameters pontoons, 24'.
Capacity is 12 people. Maybe google a similar tri toon for comparison.

I think the tag on the 25’ tri at work says 14 people. Some of that has to do with how it is configured. It is more of a weight thing than a number of people thing.

Most tags figure 150# per person, how many adults do you know that weigh 150# or less.....probably not many, so use the total weight for persons, gear and motor....
