Hi everyone,

We just purchased a twin toon SS230 Lowe pontoon. Has anyone had any issues complaints etc? So far so good. It has 115 mercury 4 strk. The boat came with strakes chrome package and ski/tube bar. After the breakend GPS said 28-30 MPH GPS at 5900-6000 RPMs. After reading this geat forum I am thinking this is great. It has a 13 P prop.

So far I have just 2 issues. 1. On the bow bummpers (Trailer) the carpet has worn thru to the wood. Cabelas says they will fix this. 2. At WOT the throttle stays put. At 5 -5500 RPMs the throttle backs off. I know there is an adustment. But after 3 trips no major issues at all.

Depending on what controler you have their should be a friction lock to stop it from backing off.

I have a 2012 SS210 90 hp four stroke. I have added a second battery & in process of adding under skinning. Top speed at this time 28 MPH on GPS. Have not seen another pontoon in this price range I would swap for.

Congrats on the new toon! I just picked mine (SF214) up from Cabelas 3 weeks ago now. I have no complaints so far. Excellent service from Cabelas! They let me borrow their scissors trailer a second time a week after I bought it so I could get some rigging done. I couldn't be happier!

Thanks again, I am just thrilled with mine after 4 trips to the lake. With 2 adults on board and ICE Chest I am able to obtain 30 PMH and 6000 RPM at WOT. I have a 13 pitch prop. Love this set up.

Trebs Toon,
Do you have any pictures of your toon? Yeap, I have the old school pontoon boat that was probably the pontoon boats of it's day, but it is really in pretty nice shape for being a 1991 year, model 202, 20 foot pontoon boat. Today I had to take the pontoon cover off to get the few tears repaired in it before it gets any worse but didn't want to buy an aftermarket because I wasn't sure of the fit plus I want to use my existing cover because it looks nicer on the boat with it being a snap in cover. Yeah, I would like to see pictures of your boat on here.
