Boat buying time...

I have a 24' princecraft altra with a 75 hp Mercury on it. I have seen toon boats with what I think are too small of a diameter toon on them, and they seem to sink lower into the water with people aboard. We got the large toons when we got it and it seems to do okay. We only have two toons Not really shore that the third one would make it any better.

I am thinking of a new motor and it would be a minimum of 115 hp. Though we have pulled two people on skies at one time with the 75, But since they (kids) have grown taller, (and wider) I have doubts about pulling either one.

I have seen toons now with oval shaped toons and I think they would be great. Good luck with whatever you decide.
