Many pontoons can be found here www.greatlakesskipper.com but most do not have a motor transom in place you either have to mount the toon in front of your motor pod or have a transom welded to it... I looked into having one custom built for my boat complete with transom, fuel tank and it was 5K so I shelved that idea....wahoomon wrote:where did you buy the center toon from?
are they specially made for your boat? or does it fit most.
very interested.. was thinking abut the water glide
Thanks
Thanks, I have been waiting for this information since the original post! Would love to do something similar if the payoff was worth the effort!jtsailjt wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:51 pmI realize this is a very old thread but if you're still kicking around on this site maybe you'll see it and tell us how does your boats performance compare with the aluminum center toon vs with the Pontoon Water Glide? Last post you were going to post numbers...…?
Thanks for the update, always good to hear an opinion based on first hand knowledge!lightpants wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 7:57 pmI am sorry. I totally dropped the ball on reporting the results!
It has been a few years since I installed the center toon. I was very happy with the results. The pontoon boat rode so much smoother with the third pontoon over the "Pontoon Water Glide."
It handled larger "chop" on the bay as well. Sped was about the same, or I might have even lost a mph or two. But, the ride was soo much smoother, it was worth the speed lost.
Another thing I realized, was even with a heavily loaded boat, my speed didn't decrease as it did with the Water Glide.
I actually bought a sailboat last year, and I have been sailing the bay since. My poor pontoon has been in my driveway, shrinkwrapped for 2 years!
