2 vs. 3 Pontoons:
For watersports, you definately want the three pontoons. For just cruising two pontoons will suffice. You want 25" pontoons and 16" crossmembers for both uses.
HP:
For watersports, go with the higher end HP rating. For cruising you can go middle of the road.
Comfort and Layout:
Layout is personal taste. Make sure the seats are deep and comfortable. Pay attention to overall quality of workmanship.
Brand and Dealer:
Like Green Basin Girl, I thought the Harris and Bennington were the best. I chose a 20' Harris Sunliner with 2 pontoons. It meet our needs and budget.
The other deciding factor is working with a quality dealer. We have delt with Melvin Village Marina for over a decade and have always had great support from everyone on their staff.
