Another 28 foot pontoon. Much nicer than what I had for about the same money. 140 hp Mercury 2 stroke.

Looks like it might make a good lake camper...


I have a 25' Premier PTX Tri-toon with a 250 Yamaha I might let go for the right price.

As a matter of curiosity, what is the shallowest water you can run in?


I've never measured it, but going slow without stirring up too much mud I'd think 3 feet or so. Up on plane (and yes, it does plane out), it probably drafts less than 1-1/2 to 2.

However, I get nervous when the depth finder drops below 10. Those stainless props aren't cheap.
