While I cant say much about the std V-hull boats as I only had a small 15 ft fishing boat for 1 summer, I highly recommend a Pontoon, we have had 3 and love them. As was said earlier they are a great stable platform , Grandama Redneck has a bum knee and hated the fishing boat because it rocked too much when she tried to move around bothering her knee. She has no problem with the Toon. Its kinda like your living room on the water plenty of room to move around. We ski and tube behind our current toon A 22 foot Premier 225 Sunsation LTD PTX(tripple log performance series) with a 150 merc Optimax (thanks Matt Galvin & Winnisquam Marine!!!). It is truly a BLAST to drive. We never tried skiing on our previous toons, but the one before this we did tube with it alot, another Premier 225 Sunsation Ltd only a 2 log with a 90 merc on it, It tubed quite well.
In my opinion as well as many of the people I know a Toon is the most versatile boat available, great for entertaining family and friends, for fishing, skiing, tubing, cruising, or just lounging around.
I would suggest talking to the folks at Winnisquam Marine, they have gone out of their way to make sure we got what we needed and wanted in a toon. The very knowledgeabl sales dept treated us Great before and after the sale and the Service has been excellent as well, They also sell V hulls and I am sure they would be happy to discuss the pro's and con's of both with you.
