Hello,
I am about to order my first pontoon, a LSL 22. My family has owned a ski boat for the past 18 years. It is 17 feet, with a Yamaha 115hp. This boat will top out at about 38 mph. I would rather not purchase a slower boat. At this time I have the LSL equipped with the Express package and the Yamaha F150. After reading the comments in this forum, I am almost certainly going to find the extra money to upgrade from the Express package to the SPS. If I make this upgrade it will make the 175hp motor an option. Of course that comes with even more expense. I realize more HP is a good thing, but is it worth the extra expense? I would appreciate any information you could give me on the performance of the 175hp and the 150hp on a 22' pontoon with either the Express or the SPS. Does anyone know about what kind of speed I can expect from these motors?
Thanks for any help,
P.
