You must be somewhat new here... thats what he does.. just go with it....

I agree with you 100% except.. Tri-toons do get on plane... There is not as much of transition as a normal boat, but they definately do come up on plane.

Anyone with a tritoon knows by putting all your passengers in the front can keep you from coming up onto plane. Sometimes there is as much of a difference in speed of 5-10 mph. Transferring weight makes a very big deal.

See the picture below.... (it also proves your point that pontoons can easily throw a bigger wake then what my A/T will at speed)
