Just food for thought here... but I always look at ways to make money....looks like what you are really selling is from the deck up???? correct... from the deck down it's still gonna be a pontoon,... or tri toon>>> and it's gonna be the same 8' wide???? or 8' 6'' if thats what they are....???? so what i WOULD DO... I would offer a product to where some one could bring in their toon, and put your top on it... you would escape all the manufacture problems in the industry that all revolve around the power plant and the toons.. I would think that you could not build the center consul conversion package as fast as they would sell... there's no money in the deck down portion any ways, and then you have to stand behind all the stuff that that you did not build.. the way it goes in boating, a guy builds a top notch boat and gets hammmered because the motor blew up,..

Yes they are but the location on some are changing. It’s 30 feet by 104”. We are out of Riverside CA.

2FF's idea of "upfitting" pontoons is something that could be expanded upon later...If the bigger money cools at some point, the tooling will have mostly been completed. Obviously, mounting points and such would need to be considered. If this style gets attention, it will become popular. Like re-bodying an older vehicle to be "modern". There could be varied versions of this layout built with limited additional investment. Interesting concept for an already interesting new concept.

This looks really sporty. Kind of a modern version of the Magic Pontoon I have always admired from a cosmetic view. This will obviously offer many more options and take it to the next level.

I know someone that I believe is in the first dozen orders, and he was told March.

Don't feel bad...I always said toons were for old farts!
And then they started putting twin 400's on them...
Well shit, I then realized I was wrong, very wrong.
Their still for old farts. Just old farts with money.

Somebody needs to figure out a better way to connect the two motors so that that bar doesn't make it difficult to get into the water.

If you are looking at a rendering it’s just that.. none of the toons I habe been on habe a tie bar in a traditional sense. They have a “liquid tie bar” which is programmed into the computers

Is that a Verado and 400/450R thing only? Does the 300R have that same capability?
