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. Originally Posted by Hotboat

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!

That looks extreme! I'm surprised they aren't wearing helmets.
I always thought a pontoon boat demolition derby would be fun to watch.

LOTO has an OSS race in June that has a pontoon class! Single engine, 350hp max, 28' or less. Looked like a real hoot this year!

The above is last years site, but they did announce that they were running again this year. Plus it's right in front of my house!So many boats...so little time.
