Would it make sense to change my 24' Hydra pontoon to a tritoon? I figure it would take another pontoon and fabrication of brackets to bolt it to the existing deck (haven't worked out all details yet). First, I am trying to work out if it would give me any advantage to change to a tritoon.
It has a 70hp Force on it now, and will do 20, maybe 22 mph downhill. I am told that tritoons are faster, I suppose because the additional toon give the boat more boyancy and if there is less boat in the water you can go faster.
What I don't know is if they ride better or worse, if I will see more speed out of my existing boat with an additional pontoon under it, and if I can even do it with an outboard motor.
All ideas welcomed.
Thanks,
Chris
