    Pontoon question.....

    I may go take a look at this pontoon boat this weekend if I can get the guy down to $10-12k.

    My question is, would this boat be able to accommodate a 250-300hp outboard? It currently has a 115HP with less than 100hrs on it.
    I just think that is kind of small for a 30ft pontoon.

    What are your thoughts??

    Looks pretty big to me. A 30' should be able to handle 250-300, my only concern would be the weight of that cover.

    I think the "real" question is will that pole in the front hold a 110lb hottie...................lmao


    Yes, I think it's big enough to handle a 250hp, but I like my first question.

    I would guess that the real question would be,,, is the transom engineered for the for a 250-300 hp. engine?

    Qua Pati ...............wonder what the meaning is to the previous owner
    .
    Even with a 250 on it I doubt it'd get any more than 30-35mph
    I love my wife, my wife loves me.:encouragement:

    Really??? I was texting the guy and he said it goes 35 now with the 115hp now. Figured that was going down river with a tail wind lol but was hoping to see around 40 or so with a 250....
