I love it when someone makes a firm decision.

That boat will give you the performance where you may never have to get another boat. (Don't listen to those trading often.)

If you keep a pontoon/tritoon out of the weather and sun, they can last a lifetime.

Congrats on finding a toon. !!!! You will enjoy it.
My friend, in the end it's your money that you are spending. None of the rest of us have any skin in your game. If you are happy with what you are buying and the financial commitment you are about to make, then it's a great deal. You can chase "the deal" over and over and it will make you crazy as will everyone's opinion on what a good deal is or isn't. Every guy is a expert at getting a good deal. If you don't believe me, just ask em! Lol
Bottom line is that it's a nice unit, you like it, you can obviously afford it and want it.....GO BUY IT. What we all think doesn't matter..

Congratulations on the new Crest Tritoon. Very similar to the one I just bought. Very well constructed. Excellent Engine. Should be a blast.
Enjoy your Summer!

Like I said , love my Crest and the company is top notch if you do have an issue. I deal direct with one of the big guys at the factory, Ernie Campbell. He sent me a new ladder ,original was a bit sticky when trying to collapse the telescopic portion, windshield , they were backordered but I wanted my boat so they gave it to me with out, hour meter , numbers were hard to read, stereo remote, first one didnt work, all to my house as I would not take it to the dealer. All minor issues and all were vendor parts. The big issue was, I had a seat missing a stripe because I added an upgraded, larger helm and the seat for my model didnt fit . The seat that did, didnt have the same stripe configuration. Hard to notice if your not looking. Crest is custom making me a full seat, complete with lowers not just a cushion. Thats taking care of business. It may not be the fastest 25'er with a 300 as it is a heavy boat but it is a beast in rough water. I dont even spill my cocktail. :drink4

That's the main thing I missed when I bought mine.
