I'm new to the forum and am getting ready to order my family a pontoon. We currently have a Sea Ray Bow Rider but those days are coming to an end. I've done some test rides on a 24S with a 115 on a normal pontoon, and a 24S with a 150 tritoon. Both engines were Yamaha's. I'm leaning towards a 24SSRXP. I've convinced myself a 150 is the least HP that I will go with. I know that once I get the boat, upgrading to a more powerful engine will be too pricy for us to do. The toon setup is a Sport Performance System - SPS w/Transom Fuel 24S. We will be cruising around mostly but at times I would like to show off the tritoon and blast off up the river/lake. The engine will be a Yamaha F150XBDF. My budget is pretty tight with all the options, but should I find more cash to get into a 175 or 200 HP motor. I would love your thoughts. Also, is it worth waiting a few more weeks to order so the boat will be a 2017? Anyone have regrets with getting the ice blue side and underwater illumination? Lastly, anyone have regrets getting the In-Floor Storage? I'm going to do the blackout package with Mediterranean Blue, with a Pearl White Stripe.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my questions!
