    Prop size

    general rule of thumb.... Adding a blade, or increasing diameter, or increasing pitch, with everything else being equal, reduces rpm....throw in cupping, different manufacturers adds to the internet propping dilemma. Going from a stainless to an aluminum also effects rpm...I think it increases...

    Hit the Dock!!😳

    yep , pictures standard pontoon construction has "M" brackets welded to the top of the toons and these brackets, at least on mine, are bolted to the "L" shaped stringers running width wise. Its all aluminum, so It's possible you tweaked the alignment, and could've possibly cracked the weld...

    Tritoon maybe

    things to consider: I have a 24', '06 pontoon with twin 25" tubes. I also added a 115hp motor up from a 60 hp . I gained about 6 mph. a 3rd toon adds significant weight and drag. There goes your new added hp. Plus, wouldn't a 3rd toon cause more difficult steering at slower speeds? . I guess...

    Best prop for a pontoon boat?

    I have a 24' pontoon with twin 25" tubes. It came with a merc. 60hp Big Foot, efi, 4 stroke. By myself on a cool day I might almost see 21 mph. Its got a 115 on it now. I can't see yours doing less unless there's a problem. What is WOT RPM?

    Propeller Pitch Selection

    this is the spot on advice. It doesn't matter what a gear ratio is or anything else. You have a starting point and should just go from there. You didn't say if you had a 3 blade or a 4 blade, that makes a difference also in rpm's with everything else being equal. Increasing pitch, diameter, or...

    boat storage

    this works well enough. But I still wouldn't shoot at squirrels around a fiberglass boat...or any boat... with or without a scope.....no one hits 100% except in the movies...

    boat storage

    I've heard rumors over the years that mothballs help to repel critters.. I know of no proof. I use 'em in my shed. I've never had a critter issue in my pontoon boat, so I haven't done that yet. But it's cheap.

    New (old) hard top pontoon owner

    that is how I check for leaks in my toons. Each toon has 3 separate sections with a plastic screw in cap on top. In the fall I unscrew the caps and listen for air either coming out or going in. If needed, I use my shop vac to inject air if I suspect anything. I had a leak a few years ago. The...
