Does anyone else expect the platform to catch the air and flip the boat over?

My thoughts exactly... I love the engines.. but if you ask me it's just plain stupid to be going that fast in that kind of boat. So easy to catch air under it and flip. Surprised he hasn't already.

Well to me, having the world's fastest pontoon is kinda like having the world's shiniest yo-yo......It can only be so cool

there's a lake in NH where everyone has a pontoon boat. A guy took the top off a speed boat and put a "pontoon top" on it. Granted it is not really a real pontoon boat, but it does go fast.

There is fast and then there is stupid fast. You only need to pick up the pieces once to discover which one you got..

Yep I was expecting them to get airborn and flip over backwards! I've been 96 mph on a friends speed boat and it ain't a very nice feeling. Had the water flying outta my eyes. Those Merc's are right nasty!

Boy they sound good, don't they. I had a 250XB that I was going to put on my V-king, that big 3.0 litre with the cut can sounded almost as good as those pro max's
