Poly tube

[Rick horn]

Has anyone installed a poly tube for a center toon? Looking to add one to my sweetwater 2186. Thanks

I considered it, but didn't because I can't lower my motor anymore and couldn't get a definitive answer as to why it would not elevate it higher. That would cause ventilation issues for me.
Just be sure yourself....

To be heavy enough poly, would it not be much heavier?? Just thinking out loud....

I would think the sport tube that butts to the transom would raise the front and not the back so much. As compared to the full length

?...buoyancy would be increased at the rear, I'd think, either way. A half tube at the back even more so since there's no additional at the front half.

I'm thinking the motor hanging off the back would be a counterweight

I look at it this way....

None of the higher end performance pontoon boats have them..... That's good enough reason for me not to consider it
