Default pontoons

I have a princecraft 24' pontoon (duel) with large logs. I am told that is important and that it gives it stability. This boat was my fathers and he bought it in 1984 and have had very little problems with it. It has never been run off of Lake W. and we have been over all of it. We have pulled two skiers at one time with it and all that it has is a 75 hp Merc. and I think it uses less gas than a regular boat.

I have seen a 24' with the small logs on it and they do not look like a good ride especially if you put four people on it.

There is also a difference where the people sit. For some dumb reason most like to sit as far forward as possible. I think a balance would make the boat more enjoyable.
