Yea how would you like to be on a tube behind that thing, or paying the fuel he's using.

That's the reason that I bought a pontoon, to tear across the water at 80 m.p.h. and shake my insides loose with all the pounding. I just don't get it. 30 to 35 is fast enough for me in a toon.

Ha ha, part of me would love to be able to open it up and blow by the guys in the little speed boats but I certainly didnt buy a toon for that reason! Does not look very safe to me! :fasttoon :scared

I wonder how long before he rips a toon loose from the cross members! That thing is porpoising so bad, if it was a Bass boat you be getting ready to flip it over backwards. Wouldn't want that setup if you gave it to me. Accident going some where to happen. :shock: :donno

I was getting dizzy just from the bouncing of the camera. No way would I ever want to ride on that toon at that speed.

that thing was pretty fast but looked more like 50-55 mph than it did 80mph.
