I would strongly recommend renting a Tri-toon. I had been out of boating a number of years and had similar thoughts about Pontoon boats.
A few years ago I took a Tri-toon for a test drive at Winnisquam Marine's "in-water demo day"; since then they have been my boat of choice when on vacation. So far I'm still renting when I want a boat, it works for us right now.
If your boating days are limited I would think about renting for a year and see what's out there now. Happy hunting!
