I've never owned a pontoon, I grew up with a 17' Bayliner, then a 20' Harris Kayot deck boat that were my parents, then purchased the 24' funship 4 years ago. Looking for positive and negatives from anyone who has made the switch.

I'd be looking at something like a 25' tri toon. Ideally that would still fit on our family place on Upper Suncook and handle the big lake with no issues too.

Any input either way would be appreciated! Thanks all!

The toon will ride better than a deck boat! I will always run deep hulled (22 degrees or more) boats but some of the new pontoon boats ride amazingly well. Put as much power on it as it can take!
