Command Thrust

[Je1279]

Does anyone have experience on the same size pontoon with both a Mercury 4s and the same hp command thrust variant? Their marketing identifies the command thrust as the best option for pontoons but I am looking for some real world experience. The engine in question will be either 90 or 115 hp (115 is the max rating) if that helps.

I hope this works here is a link to a you tube video (What is a command thrush gearcase.) http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KLqIUsGIBYYiwAlnO6mWRH;_ylu=X3oDMTByZnJkbGl0BHNlYwNjZC10aHVtYgRzbGsDcGxheQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1484818605/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fwatch%3fv%3dmnBrqq6p7rw/RK=0/RS=aGg86gdSzE3w7CG4i9sehiouxEs-


I am also looking to buy and have a quote on a 22FS with a Mercury 115 4 stroke pro xs command thrust motor on it. But have never owned one.

Thank you kysportsman. I have watched a number of videos but would still like to hear how CT affects things like acceleration, maneuverability and fuel economy on a pontoon. The 115 Pro XS Command Thrust sounds like a beast of an engine from everything I've read.
