I've never seen a third toon added. Don't know at this time in its life that such an addition would return substantial benefits.
Your two tooned boat with a 2 stroke motor and strakes should run pretty good already. A 3rd toon would slow it down, the chances are. Most 3 toon straked boats will have 115 hp minimum--and preferably 150 hp.
If you need to carry substantially more people, you might do better retail your boat in Spring/Summer and find a boat that better suits your needs.

Lots of people have added a 3rd toon to many brands of pontoon, don't know of any reason it wouldn't work on a tracker. You have to decide whether to add a short one in front of the motor pod, or replace the pod with a long toon with transom built in.
As noted above, it may slow you down, but load handling should improve.

I added a third tube to my 24 footer. Depending on the tube and or the boat the installation will vary somewhat. My center tube was 20,' four shorter the new tri toon seem to be built that way.Also the center was an inch or two bigger in diameter so using a straight edge I got the bottom even but had to weld attachment rail on top of it.The trick to do it right is to take your think the install through, double check measurements and make sure everything in level etc.
