18' 25HP 4-stroke
I have a 2005 18' Starcraft pontoon boat w/ 25 hp Mercury Bigfoot 4-stroke!
We love it! 2 people aboard.... 12.5 MPH WOT. 4 people.... 10 MPH,
6+ about 7 MPH.
Boat, motor and trailer w gas grill, windshield, CD player, ladder, and removeable table. $13,000 at boat show.
One important thing with a pontoon boat.... BALANCE! IF you plan on having more than 4 people aboard, I would go with a bigger pontoon boat.
My boat has the battery, gas tank and motor on brackets outboard (aft)
I gives me lot's more storage however, it puts a lot of weight aft! Pontoon diameter is important here too!
Shop around,,, if you can wait till February and go to the boat shows, that's the best deal and you can also get some ideas on what you want!
I've been out in the Broads many times with no problem!
Oh yea.... a potty is a necessity!!!!
