If money is a consideration, check out Harris at Melvin Village--we, and I know Greene's Basin Girl, love ours.

I may have been hypersensitive to the extra "pounding" since that is what we were coming from and wanted to get away from. Also, driving the toon is different, especially trimming seemed to take a little getting used to. When I drove the boat with the strakes I hadn't mastered this new skill. I've also learned how different reverse is on the pontoon outboard compared to a I/O.
