Pontoon Boat With Cuddy!

Oddly, these boats seem to defy the HP logic. Tossing HP at them does not make them much faster, unlike on a deep V hull (20HP for every 1 MPH).

The other thread running here regarding a trip OB toon had a shockingly low top speed listed.

No, perhaps I didnt preface my statement. If you are running, say, a Baja outlaw 25 with a 496 @425 hp it will likely run 65ish, to get to 75 you will need to throw another 200 hp at it. My point was after a certain hull speed the toons dont seem to respond the same or require more HP per mph gain.

Then why do they hang big HP on some of these?

I am trying to understand.

Thanks!

How about a South Bay 925CR with triple 300's at 114 mph? That would get you to lunch pretty quick!

My 300 burns 29 GPH at WOT
Three of them would use about $250 worth of fuel per hour.........pretty expensive trip to lunch if you want to show off.
