Wow. I hope that guy is only 4'6".
I switched over to a tritoon and so far I must say I have no regrets. The comfort is on a whole different level and how smooth the ride is in choppy water compared to my 242 was truly amazing. I went through a narrow canal from point pleasant to bay head over here in Jersey and I used to be scared to take the Yamaha through because how the current rips and the low bow at low speeds. The tritoon didn't waver at all stayed dry the whole time was very impressed. Only had it a couple weeks but so far I was nervous getting rid of the Yamaha right now I can say I'm pleasantly surprised how this boat rides.On a 3500 acre lake that's a little overboard, but on bigger lakes or rivers it makes sense. The last boat show that we went to in Dallas there was nothing but pontoons, wake boats and fishing boats. There was a healthy showing of jet skis and a nice large display of Yamaha jet boats. Large pontoons are THE thing to have right now. So many boat companies that used to build I/O's are making the switch to outboards and if people are looking at moving to an outboard powered boat it might as well be a pontoon. With enough horsepower and a nice stereo system they can be cool if it fits your boating lifestyle.
