I have a 2006 Palm Beach 20 foot pontoon that came with a Mercury 40hp 4-stroke motor. The motor runs great and we love it, but my kids are getting older and want to go tubing more. It is boring because our max speed is in the 15-18mph range with only a few people in it--it drops considerably when friends come aboard or if it's windy. The max horsepower the pontoon is rated for is a 90hp, so I was wondering if anyone had a 20 foot pontoon with a 90hp outboard on it and what top speeds they hit. I would be very happy if we could gain 7-12mph, which includes being loaded with a bunch of people or in the wind.
