I got a 40 hp Johnson 4 stroke in my pontoon, should I buy a bigger engine and re-enforce my pontoon (14' toon), or should I trade my pontoon in for something bigger?
Any ideas!

How fast does it currently run? A 40 on a 14' pontoon should be "enough" power to pull a tube and possibly a wake boarder with a light load on the boat. I assume its a 14x6 or 14x6.5' mini toon as I haven't seen many 14x8' pontoons. Being a 14' foot I pretty sure 40hp is all it will be rated for, and I wouldn't go bigger than that on that boat. I 19' or 20' with a 70-90hp would be enough for either, I pull tubes/wake boards at ~18mph with a full 8 person load behind mine, its just a touch too slow for wake board but it works.
