I love my 25' Tri-Toon. I have plenty of room for 8+ people. I have lots of bells and whistles that I wouldn't have room for otherwise. Its fishes much better than expected and moves around pretty good. I would find a cheap one on the side of the road and spend more money renovating it. I have a 112 lb minn kota and it pulls it around great.

bowhuntt -- do you have a build thread? Appears you are running a kicker and am interested in that. Thanks!

I'd be interested in learning more about your build too. This is a sweet rig. Love the shark. What do you do with that big platform above? I thought it was just an awning until I saw the ladder

Jp has just about everything on that boat but a fan lol

How durable are the toons on an average pontoon boat. I'm wondering because I went out last night on my 1648 and I bump rocks and logs all night long. I wonder how much abuse they could take.

Pontoon manufacturers use different thickness/gauge aluminum.

I don't bang mine around a ton but an occasional small bump is usually OK. Dented mine the worst by pinning my toon crossways against a partially submerged tree in the middle of a river with a lot of current. No fun.

Be great in open water.....would not work here....too may stumps....

I'm really thinking about getting a pontoon. Stable enough for multiple shooters and it sits up high already. I only shoot lakes and don't think iv ever hit a stump. And I'm more likely to convince my wife. She loves the pontoon idea because its not bowfishing specific

I thought that too. Then you take all furniture out along with the front rails, hang lights all around it, then get fish innards all over it. :tu:

Bowhunter.... I would live to see more pics of your toon. That's almost exactly what I had in mind for building mine.

My wife loves the idea of no bench seats. She wants it like my grandpas toon where we just bring our own folding chairs

Yep, bag chairs or coolers serve as auxiliary seating on mine.

Thank you! For some reason I could not think of the words "bag chairs" so I said folding chairs. Was bugging me

That's what that means!?!? You guys confuse the chit out of me. I heard bag chair and was thinking bean bag chair. I heard it more than once and though "they must make waterproof bean bag chairs now." Fold-Up Camping Chair in Okie language. Not to be confused with Fold-OUT Lawn Chair, those are for sun tanning.

 

[Noobshooter]

Bag chairs because you fold them up and put them in a bag lol

You can get waterproof bean bags. They have become huge in the small boat/center console market for guys running offshore fishing for tuna/marlin/sharks. They are super comfortable. My biggest issue when I sit down in one is not falling asleep haha. Here is just one example... http://www.westmarine.com/recreatio...ional-chairs/west-marine--go-anywhere-marine-beanbag-chair-white-blue--14256481
