But after being spoiled with a great platform it would be hard to get a boat without one. The only boats I ever see with really great platforms are full inboards. Which are running $80k and up these days. And I’d be back to maintenance (which wasn’t terrible). But I can’t help doing stuff myself if I’m capable.

Any way check out this platform for a toon boat. Probable not an option on a Tri toon.

Pontoons aren’t all bad if what you value is deck space. They are low maintenance and simple.

There is a rental stigma, but this lake has enough seasoned pontoon owners and you can usually tell the difference.

Take a look a Hurricane’s lineup. They have deck boats and some in between.
