What should I look put for? I'm posting pictures of a Toon
I'm getting ready to purchase a toon that needs some interor work and I was told the floor had a small soft spot.
The toon I'm looking at is a 1990 Sun Tracker 24 Tri toon 90 hp Party Barge anyone know what I should ask or inspect before I purchase this toon?
Thanks Brent
Here are some pic's of my soon to be new project...
Thanks for looking...
Also is there any advantages to having a tri-toon?

3 logs gives you a higher HP and weight rating. She will also handle rough chop better. If there is a small soft spot I would bet there are more than one spot. Plan on replacing the deck.
I have seen a lot of people try to add a 3rd log however I have never seen anyone remove one...

So would I also be able to pull toys with this size model?
Re: What should I look put for? I'm posting pictures of a Toon
You will be able to pull some towables, but with a 90 hp on the back end you won't be going very fast. You might want to see what the max hp is allowed for this model and possibly look for a rebuilt/remanufactured engine in that size. Don't know how many hours are on that motor, but at 21, even with low hours you could be looking at some $$ to get it running properly.
As far as the soft spots are concerned, I'm with the others; you are probably better off replacing the entire deck.

Will I even see 20mph with a boat of this size and age? I know a lot depends on how many hours on the motor and how often it was kept up with maintenance…

I had a '93 Suncruiser 240 Jamaica with a 115 hp Evinrude on the back. We could get a skier up if we didn't have the boat loaded down with people and fuel. We also pulled a tube, but it was a 2 person and I think we could get in the 20s. It's been too long and too many brain cells have died! The old 'rude was kind of a gas hog, but we didn't worry too much about fuel usage because we were having too much fun.

Is that middle toon only a partial? It looks like it only goes a few feet back? Strange, is it sealed or did someone cut it off for some reason?

There's a party barge(hut?) down the road from me that has that same partial middle toon in the front. I think that's a factory feature in some of those models.mike wrote:Is that middle toon only a partial? It looks like it only goes a few feet back?

Well I picked her up last night she towed like a dream, but then again everything I tow with my Yota feels the same.
Motor started up right away and the toons are like new no cracks, scratches, or huge dents from rough use. I still have a lot of work ahead of me I plan on ripping the whole floor off and replacing it with a rhino coated under belly, good thing I work for a RV MFG so I have access to all the things I need at MFG cost. Except for carpet and marine glue which I’m still having one of our vendors look into.
I know this is going to cost me still but I love restoring toys with my hands, and I already have a lot of friends offering to come over and help, which means they drink beer while I work... But at least I can make them pay for the gas when we go out…
I will post up my before and after photos as I make progress…
Thanks again for everyone’s help…

I would not use the rhino underneath. It will actually hold moisture in. Look into underskinning with aluminium this will increase performance and still let the deck breath.

Re: What should I look put for? I'm posting pictures of a Toon
Thanks! Do you mean you wish you had the 3rd toon? Question between your toons is the floor exposed or enclosed (mine is enclosed with aluminum panels)? I think the owner of mine enclosed the under belly of mine and just wanted to see if he did it or if it was something the factory offered?curtiscapk wrote:NIce yours is only couple years older than mine, which I had that mini 3rd though..
Re: What should I look put for? I'm posting pictures of a Toon
That is good news. Underskinning gives you a smoother ride because the water can't pound the supports and gives you better performance.
Slap some marine grade plywood on there and flooring and you are good to go.
