Hello,
My wife's family had boats growing up, I haven't really done any boating. We're thinking about getting a boat and were thinking a pontoon would be the most versatile. We'd like to have something sufficient to be able to do waterskiing, hang out on the lake, etc. From the little bit of research I've done I'm thinking a 16 or 18 foot pontoon would be the a good size. Would a 75 or 100 hp engine be sufficient for waterskiing with that? How much slower would a larger 20+ foot pontoon be with the same engine? A longer boat would pitch less on rough water right? We might have parking difficulty with a larger boat.
Thanks,
-Eric
