The big question I asked my friend Eric that got one for his family and lost his rear on it was just how often and how many times did they go TWO 2 was it, he got to hating it and sold it for a loss and got a CC and is happy.

Looks like I'll be buying you some hellbenders and pet spoons for Christmas this year.

And marker buoys so you can mark both extremes of a structure and claim the whole thing.

Ed as much as you fish and as many lakes that you go to think hard about that toon. Buddy just got a Excursion / Trifecta 2300 (toon) with a 175 Yamaha ....the more he uses it the more he likes it !! However it is docked not trailered. Hell I've got more to tell ya just gonna call you Answer or I'll just keep calling

This and never look back

Yeah, that's fair lol

And another choice for deck boat

The Hurricane's are solid options. There's actually one up in Lewisville at Lonestar Watersports I looked at earlier this year before deciding to drop some $$$ into updating my F/S. It is a dream boat if you have a family to haul around and also need a good CC for fishing. Too much coin for my bankroll. here's a link to it if interested.

I have been in a few different deck boats. While they were nice boats, they all beat the [censored] out of you in any kind of waves. Maybe they have improved them but I doubt they are even close to as smooth as a toon.

I've thought about selling my f/s and getting something larger . My girlfriend told me i would be stupid if i ever sell the current boat. Does everything WE want/need. Sure its tight with more than 5 adults on board but that only happens a few times a year .

I have this boat in the 20 ft version. Could not be happier !!!!!!!!!!

Love my pontoon but I think a boat is better suited for how you fish. Love the room and comfort when fishing with the family but they aren't nimble or speedy.

I just bought an Element F21. It will hold 10. But for fishing... 5 or 6 would probably be plenty.
So far we love it.

I had one, loved it, just recently traded it due to wanting something else.
If you want a roomy fishing platform, that has the occasional family/friends cruising weekend, then get one. I would strongly suggest a tri-toon in the 22' range with a minimum of a 150. You will get enough push for a tube easily and more speed than you think if set up with lifting strakes to get you on top of the water as opposed to pushing through it. As far as loading/unloading in windy conditions you can buy or make trailer guides that will assist you with that. Fishing in windy conditions is not much of an issue either, mount an I-pilot of 80lb thrust or more and go fish. Running in rough water isn't an issue either, especially with the strakes as mentioned before. Low water levels like they were a couple years ago were a concern as it did take quite a bit of water on the ramps to launch. The other concern is trailing if you don't plan on keeping in a slip. Carry spare rims/tires, a couple of them. Maybe it was just my boat and trailer combo, but it chewed up the tires. Good luck, hope you find what your looking for. Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Go out with someone that has a 22' to 24' Tritoon with at least a 150 HP on it for a day, I have a 24' Fishing Model with a 150 Mercury that we Love
We go to Possum Kingdom all the time, Stripper fish in the morning and evenings can fish 6 people comfortably and then ride and tube the rest of the time I've had 10 people on the deck and 2 on a tube running 30 MPH
As for as fishing it's what you get use to handling, I had a 21' Triton Bass boat before this and the only thing i can't do in the Tritoon is fish the shallows in spring
