I did and honestly I have no use for a cuddy cabin boat with an island camp. I just thought it was pretty innovative and someone might like it...

In deed very inovative... I personally never would have thought of the idea. But is a natural progression... with the popularity of Pontoon boats at this time.

What is that "Pistol grip" on the left side of the helm ? Side thrusters? LOL

Seriously could not find any description for it's purpose on that site

It's joystick control for docking. You just push the stick in the direction you want to go and it manipulates the 3 engines to get you there. Even sideways. It can turn each on independently to make the boat crawl sideways.

It probably also has the Skyhook feature where you just push a button and it will virtually anchor your boat and hold that position regardless of wind or current. It uses the GPS and compass.

I wonder if that gets around the no rafting laws?? "Were not rafting, were skyhooked!!!"

I like going fast just like the next guy...
but why do we need triple 250's? At least make them Merc's!

Looks like you don't need three? Not on the 310 anyway, the specs show the 310 has 25 more HP with doubles, than with trips.

I heard ishoot308 is actually getting another new custom pontoon for 2016. I saw the parts being shipped up the other day:

A 4000 lb, low drag toon with 700 hp sounds like a recipe for a spilled margarita. They should just cut to the chase and put a turbine on it.

Oddly, these boats seem to defy the HP logic. Tossing HP at them does not make them much faster, unlike on a deep V hull (20HP for every 1 MPH).

The other thread running here regarding a trip OB toon had a shockingly low top speed listed.

huh? So a 300HP deep V will go 15 MPH?

Then why do they hang big HP on some of these?

I am trying to understand.

Thanks!

How about a South Bay 925CR with triple 300's at 114 mph? That would get you to lunch pretty quick!

No, perhaps I didnt preface my statement. If you are running, say, a Baja outlaw 25 with a 496 @425 hp it will likely run 65ish, to get to 75 you will need to throw another 200 hp at it. My point was after a certain hull speed the toons dont seem to respond the same or require more HP per mph gain.

My 300 burns 29 GPH at WOT
Three of them would use about $250 worth of fuel per hour.........pretty expensive trip to lunch if you want to show off.
