Hi All,

Thank you for all the responses thus far! I appreciate everyone's opinions.

As of right now, I have reserved a 23 foot Tri-toon from Anchor Marine (I can cancel if I find a better deal/boat). It has a 10 person capacity and a 115 hp outboard. Most of the pontoon rental boats fall into about the same class. Some have slightly more capacity (12) but come with a lower hp motor or only two logs vs. three. Am I right to assume the Tri-toon will perform better than a similar boat with only two logs?

There was a 16 person capacity rental pontoon (150 hp) at Melvin Village, but it was a little pricey and a long way from the rental house in Center Harbor.... still considering that one though.

The Cobalt sure looks great, but $4800 is a little more than I wanted to spend. I also seriously considered the American Boating Club, but the ability to only book 4 hour slots is prohibitive in that I would spend most of my vacation going to and from the docks!

Thanks all.... and I'll post back if I get any additional information.

Cheers....

Gusman
