Hey all!! 1 am kind of new to the boat world. I just bought a 24' 1986 Landau pontoon with 120 hp mercruiser I/O. I have had a boat in the past with an outboard but never had a I/O. So I will likely have lots of questions in the future. I also have a 1989 Kawasaki Jetmate and 1990 X-2.

Welcome aboard. You'll want to mosey over to the pontoon section some time. There's lots of good barge related info there.

Interesting. I've never seen a pontoon with an I/O. Most of the 'toons I see have 9.9s.

I have looked at some that had the 4.3L I/O setup in them.

Welcome aboard.

They even make performance toons...

Here is one with a 350 mag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdkYyQ3_qA4&playnext=1&list=PLDF6E65F25D735B5B&index=2

Here is one with a 525 blue motor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5MFbC0ifA&feature=related

And this is a 100 mph toon, which I believe it has a 540 in it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtbX_RZ3IXI

Quite a few of them out there. Once upon a time Harris was pretty fond of that power plant.
