Default Lots of pontoons can hit 40! Depends on the engine!

Could someone direct me to a pontoon boat that can reach 40 mph? pfft
Remember that the vessels that were in the dispute were oean going vessels - so one would hope the pontoon has a larger engine for open sea boating! My neighbors had a 26' pontoon with two engines and that thing hauled out of his dock!! And unfortunately INTO his dock one fateful night...talk about mis-use of beer!
