thanks!! I just joined the forum this morning. this is my second 3rd pontoon that I have owed both others were premier's one with a etec 225ho other a etec 250ho both ss models didn't like either one both to slow. not sure on how much I will like this one but I just sold my formula 330ss and going back to a wakeboard boat and pontoon for relaxing on and they seem to be very well built. I had to custom order this one because we wanted rear facing loungers and a full bar that had to be moved to midship along with the sport tower option. I looked at my other pontoons before hand almost went with a harris 250crown with twin 300verados. hoping for a great summer to enjoy!! after spending some time on these forums people seem to be very nice and helpful on here looking forward meeting new people to share ideas.
YOU HAVE A VERY NICE PONTOON !!! SAME COLOR AS I ORDERED HOW DO YOU LIKE IT? THATS WHAT MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THEY ORDERED ANOTHER 28 WITH A F350 AND IT RUNS A SOLID MID 50'S LIKE NOTHING WITH INCREDIBLE PERFORMACE FROM TAKE OFF TO TOP END.
We can just touch 40 with the 300 Verado on our 28q. I will be interested to hear how yours runs with the 350. That Yamaha is a bit heavier, I am thinking you will see 45-47.
We have nothing but good things to say about ours. We would buy it again.
Like Jack, my 2014 GCWB 2574 EPS w/ Yamaha F250 is about 42-43mph via GPS. I might have had a little more gas than wanted to do a true top-end speed test, plus had all gear on board. I bet close to 50 is possible. I was passed by a R series 25' with a 300hp on it last year, but he was barely passing me. Made me want that 350 real quick!!
