Tri-toon rentals? Should I care?

marcucci · 09-05-2015, 10:05 AM

We're thinking of switching to a tri-toon for our next boat so obviously I wanted to spend some time with one on the lake. I've been looking for a place that rents them in a configuration like what we think we would buy, tri-toons, 22-24 ft, 90-150 hp engine. My questions are:
1) Anyone have a suggestion besides Channel who has this rental config? (They are the only one I've found so far.)
2) Should I be so concerned about the tri-toon and the hp? Does it impact handling that much? If I find a pontoon, right length and HP will I get a close enough experience?
We're mostly switching for the space, the ride in rough weekend water, the reduced maintenance.
