Pontoon Boat Racing?

I guess it really exists. I'd be really impressed if they could grill a burger at the same time. ;)

I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing about the Shootout but I just have to tell you about a friend of ours, he has a 107mph pontoon that he runs in the Shootout, here's one of his runs a few years ago, I think he ran 110mph this year, it's crazy.

Cool manitu pontoon too, I would love to have one at LOTO for cruising, sorry Grads I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Actually the toon that ran at the last shootout ran 115. Broke the old record. I have pics somewhere.

I think there were 3 toons that ran over 100mph last year and this year. The one that ran 115 this year, I believe ran 108 last year.

That's Brad, his Lake house is next to my best friend's house at LOTO, he's a good guy, drinks like a fish too.

The funny thing is he has a 38' Scarab and it only runs in the mid 70s.

I've seen the ones at LOTO, what I thought was interesting about these guys is that they are barrel racing with turns.

Great video Joey....there's no way in hell you'd catch me dead doing 107 mph on a toon! :yikes:

That looks extreme! I'm surprised they aren't wearing helmets.

I always thought a pontoon boat demolition derby would be fun to watch.

Those turns look sketchy at best. :yikes:

That has to be a wild ride.

Next thing you know the'll be Racing Plywood?:schreck::schreck::schreck:

If you strap enough horsepower to a man hole cover it will fly.
