I can still call them that...it might not be true...but I can still say it!  lol.

(Having said that...that's a pretty nice looking loser cruiser!)

How much?  (I'm afraid to know.)

If you going for engines get this one. You can also get it with 3 400's
I think this has become an addiction.

If you go to Premier pontoon's facebook page you can see more of them. They were the ones at TI the other weekend.

Crestliner is there until Wed this week doing another dealer demo. They had about 15 boats in the water when I left on Sunday.

1200 HP, the fourth one must be up front maybe?   He He    Seriously the only reason to have that much OB power is for bragging, one wave at speed and your entire wet bar inventory is in the sea.  The new tri-toon construction allows for considerably more HP to be installed, but even then having a pontoon going 50mph+ takes a certain level of crazy.  Our Benny toon had a merc 90, rated up to 115, and in the right wind/wave conditions it felt like 25mph was too fast.   Maybe the third toon disrupts the airflow, but they feel like a sail sometimes.   Sure toons are nice, the bennys are like a big floating living room, when the family crowd dwindled, having a 24' toon for two people is too much for loading and unloading, at least for my first mate it was.  Current and wind can really push them around.  When I got into G/C's, the toon felt too much like a geezer glider, maybe when I'm older, maybe not.  Honestly, I would like an old toon to have a flat deck on to fish on the river with, set a tent on it, and fish overnight.  Not exactly the Bennington way.

Guess I could live with a single 200 hp motor if it would keep the price down to $80 G's.
