Don't give up on the pontoon boat yet. The later models are quicker than you would think. Of course you should do your own homework but I bet a 20 foot toon with a 115 HP engine would do 35 MPH. Also, a 20 foot pontoon can handle rough conditions better than any 20 foot deck boat or bow rider. All this being said don't get me wrong, I love all boats. We were members of the American Boat Club last year and used both bowriders and toons alot. PM me if you want any further details on my experiences with both.
