Most of the big tritoons [25 to 28 ft.] I service, are running 150-300 hp outboards. Some have V8 Mercruiser power. They vary from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Mercury 4 stroke’s and Verado’s. The center tune being oval, or ”egg shaped” makes it like a new boat so to speak. The boat takes turns much the same way as a v bottom hull, and leans into the turn, instead of away from it. Traditional pontoons make the occupants feel like they need to hold onto something in the turns, to stay in their seats. This new construction virtually eliminates this. I also had to buy a new heavy duty trailer, just to be able to haul these boats out for service. The old flat trailers won’t work anymore because of the big center toon. Manitau boats have a gigantic center toon, one of the most oversize I’ve seen.
