power up
Hey everyone, got a ?I have a 01 tracker party barge and it needs powering up. I have a 50hp merc on it now. Does anyone think a 225 is to much or will a 115 do the job? I mainly use it for cruising/ fishing you now everything pontoon, any advice would be apprec!
I'm so miserable here w/out you, it's almost like you were here

pontoon egine
my 2000 tracker 24' fishing barge says max 115 hp. the boat would handle the weight. i think it is the structural capabilities of the mount.
For 2008 the 24 foot party barge's max hp is 115, I can't imagine an 01 could handle that much motor. Hell even the biggest pontoon tracker makes 32 footer max horse power is only 150. Better be safe than sorry, plus there's the insurance issues also.
