I have a 24ft pontoon boat that has 23" diameter pontoons. It has a factory aluminum deck and I built an enclosure on it to make it a weekend houseboat. The interior is minimum and I plan on keeping it that way. It currently has a Mercury Classic 50 for a motor. I had it on the Mississippi River for a few days and nights, along with two adult passengers and gear. It handled well. I have another junk pontoon I picked up that has 19" diameter pontoons. I'm considering adding one of those toons to the center of the other pontoon boat to help with buoyancy. Does anyone have experience with adding a smaller diameter center toon? Any issues you may think of? I realize I could increase the possibility of motor ventilation. I also have a 70hp Johnson that I will be installing in the spring.
