Hi all.....new to the forum.
My wife and I are in the market for a pontoon to take our teen daughter and friends out on the water.
Given that we are looking at 24’ and larger and plan to tow tubes, I am looking for a Tri Toon with at least a 200hp.
My vconvern is that most I am looking at have less than a 30 gallon fuel tank. A 200+ Hp outboard will suck that down pretty quick in my opinion.
I am looking at a 2014 Bennington 2274 GL with a 200hp Yamaha. This boat is advertised with a 26 gallon tank.
Is it possible to install a larger tank? The tank in this boat is under the rear swim platform.
Anyway, was just looking for thoughts on this. The area I boat does have fuel on the water, but we do head out to Lake Maurepas on occasion. just did not want to get into a situation where I am constantly worrying about fuel.
Thanks
Ron
