Post subject: Deck boat / pontoon boat?
Archived from groups: rec>boats (more info?)
A while back someone here posted a link in responce to a question about deck
boats. It was a three tube pontoon where the middle tube was bigger than
the other two the manfacturer claimed that it performed close to a v hull.

Anyone know what I'm talking about - got a link?

Thanks
John

If you're interested in something that performs like a v-hull but has space
like a pontoon why don't you just get a deck boat?

Do you fish with yours? Do you fish with yours with a trolling motor?
I've always wondered how they handled in a good breeze with a trolling
motor.
