Glad to be here. There may be a pontoon boat in my future, so I'm trying to get educated!

Re: Hello from SoCal
Welcome to the forum. Many on here love the room and function of their pontoon/tritoon boats and the lifestyle they bring.
After owning a 2 tooned boat with a 115 hp 2 stroke engine for 28 years, I switched to a new tritoon and 4 stroke 150 hp. The speed and seaworthiness is so much better with three toons and the larger engine.
I was out on the river today as the wind finally died down. Cruising by myself was just heavenly, and I'm glad we're getting close to Summer.

Re: Hello from SoCal
Thanks for the warm welcome all!
I've currently got a 454/berk jet boat that I think I can get at least 10K for. If I throw in another 10-15k, do you think I can get into a nice used toon? I've been doing some reading here, and it appears that a tri-toon with 150hp is what everyone recommends.
Am I dreaming or is this a possibility for 20-25K?
Thanks, Leo
