lowe pontoon boats
Pontoon boat top speed?
I have a 20' Lowe pontoon boat with a 70hp 2 stroke Mercury engine. Will anything increase my top speed?
It is true that production pontoon boats were not made for speed (I am sure you know that already...) However, you might be surprise to know that the World Speed Record of 81mph (see below) was recently broken.
Short of a major overhaul, new engine, etc. The very best thing you can do is install trim tabs and "check your prop". You don't want a "BIGGER" as suggested, but you do need an undamaged one the proper size. Just "a bigger prop" could actually slow you down.
Props are primarily designed on two opposite ends of the spectrum... one for speed, and the other for thrust... What generally comes standard on a pontoon, is one where the angle of pitch meets somewhere in the middle - and thus gives you a good amount of thrust to get you moving, and then keeps you moving at a steady clip. Thus, if you want maximum speed, and are willing to give up a few extra seconds "getting out of the hole" at start up... then a "speed prop" will take you across the water faster - but getting to top speed will take a bit longer. It is simply a trade off, but, in the case of pontoons, the manufacturer are not concerned with "top" speed - just a good speed.
So, I suggest you see your mechanic about a speed prop.
And, by the way... Pontoon boats are the safest boats on the water... enjoy it!
Happy & Safe Boating,
John

interested in finding out the fate of the pt boat sitting along the expressway in New Orleans, I am trying to find info on the restoration of this vessel and would like to help in the program. I worked at equitable equipment during the vietnam war building pontoon boats for the war. later in the seventies I worked building life boats for the two tugs we were building in the main yard.
We stayed at Loon Lake Lodge & RV Resort one of the more scenic Oregon coast rv parks that offers camping, boating and fishing near the coast. It’s an excellent Oregon coast campground and the lodge also offers cabin and yurt rentals. The Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort is located about 45 minutes from Reedsport. It offers year-round resort Oregon Coast lodging in cabins, yurts and motel rooms, or waterfront camping in scenic tent or RV park sites with full-hookups, satellite TV and Wi-Fi – all on one mile of lake frontage on the scenic Loon Lake. The marina offers jet ski rentals, boat rentals and pontoon boats.
This talk about how ethanol somehow is bad for engines is baloney. My small engines, 2 lawnmowers, 4 wheeler, 100cc dirt bike, snowblower are all several years old, a couple over 10 and the only difference I have seen is that since I started using the E10 I can get them started much much easier.
most certainly,throw in a couple of dvd's of the beverlyhill billies and they could have a real party.
Advice on Buying a New or Used Boat—–Classic Accessories Cimarron Pontoon Boat——-eBay Motors the Smart Way:
i know it is pretty frustrating to deal with people like that, but the most wisest thing would just be to forgive….because its not going to get you anywhere if you stay mad at her and talk back at her and fight. Just be humble about it, and forgive. Jesus didn't promise an always happy and perfect life when you crucify your sins and carry your cross and follow Him, but He DOES promise eternal life to those who died to live.
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."-Matthew 18:21-22
God bless, grow in Christ and keep shining Christ's love towards others!
Why are you friends with a 40 year old? Can;t get friends your own age? What the hell does a 40 yr old and a kid have in common?
