Should you lean towards a pontoon rent one w/ the 12 people and see what it will do?
Having one for a long time look for:
Largest toons the company sells
Strakes on it
Skinned underneath
Ask the sellers if the weight to people is that, or does it covers other items?
If you buy new, last few years the toons are coming out w/ a lot of wasted space in the front and rears. A 24' the play pen is more like 18-19'
To stay under 100K and 12 people doing what you states some quick prices off the net for motors alone...does not leave much for a quality boat?
300xl verado $33k and up
400cxl verado $61 and up
Good luck any way you go.
