Guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when Mike said it would only take about four hours for the job. again just my opinion.2008 SunTracker Regency Party Barge 22 with lifting strakesSome folk(me one of them) feel that the lower center toon will help you bank on turns at speed. now and it works great it pushes most of the water out pass the motor.Good to know.
My 3rd log has strakers on it and it helps me get on plane better and fast. We then add a third tube in between the other logs underneath the boat. Hopefully the picture will give you an idea. But you can use a ratchet, socket and box end wrench if you want. It didn’t take near as long as I expected. Apparently the kettlebell squats I am doing occasionally are not building the muscle fast enough. Apparently the sun warming the tube sections caused the air inside to expand and they swelled up enough that we could not get them back in the J-channels. Okay, yes I just wanted a reason to have a Ryobi cordless impact wrench. I'm real happy with the modifcations that I have made to my pontoon.My main logs are 21ft long. We ended up having to use a bit of “persuasion” to get all the tubes together.To persuade the tubes, we connected four ratcheting tie down straps together, hooked one end to the front eye on the port toon, then wrapped the strap behind the third toon and around the front of the third toon and then back out to the starboard toon’s front eye. Beaching should not be a problem with just a small difference.1995 beachcomber conversion to tritoon with Honda 135 , 2008 SunTracker Regency Party Barge 22 with lifting strakesAs you stated - How fast do you really go???
I set my log 2" lower than my main logs set it back 18" from the back of my main logs that made it set 12" back from the front of my main logs. We did think about leaving the tubes further forward, but decided not to. Our motor pod actually had a forward mounting plate that needed to be slightly modified (can you say “metal cut off wheel”?)
Luckily the top of the poly tube has a V-section. It made the pontoon handle better it the turns and made it ride across the waves real smooth. But I should have.
This is where the comment “leaving them in the drive” becomes important. Did I mention I am a fan of Ryobi 18 volt cordless tools?You will also need a few C-clamps or locking pliers to hold the J-channel in place while you drill the mounting holes. Sound confusing? Both J-channels need to be even at the front of the boat so the retainer plate looks square to the deck.Before starting the drilling we removed the four tube sections and put them in the drive beside the boat. When we tried to reinstall the tube segments into the J-channel…we had an unexpected surprise: physics. I also like to stumble through things on my own. I also added a jack plate that set the motor back another 5" so that I would have clearance when I tilted up my motor.I have some pictures but I'm not to smart on the computer I can't figure out how to post pictures if you could help me I'd be happy to post a couple of them.That looks like it will work. We also needed a metal cutoff tool to remove a small section of metal for more clearance of the rear tube but not everyone will need that. That’s why it took me two days instead of the estimated four hours to install.The next day we were able to install all four sections of the tube.
I had my doubts, but in reality it can be installed in a remarkably short amount of time. On the closed U-channels you will need to use self-tapping stainless screws.
to allow the rear tube to go back far enough. One section would not fit easily into the other section. I didn’t give any thought to leaving the sections sitting in the sun. I tightened those four nuts and bolts and then we reinstalled one of the tube sections and pushed it from the front of the J-channel to the rear to make sure we had everything aligned and we were able to get the tubes in the channels as designed. Follow these simple instructions to As I mentioned before, even though I am an evangelist for buying simple and practical, I do succumb to the excitement of improving my ‘toon’s ride and increasing the performance just like any other TGH (‘toon gear head). Get Lifting Strakes.
Then we moved to the front location and did the same. Anyway, there is just something that says to me that three ‘toons need more horsepower.
The folks at Manitou think so as well. The 3rd log is 22ft long I miss spoke on the front set back. This is a key thing to remember and a factor in why it took me an extra day to install the kit.I started drilling one hole in the rear of each channel first and installing a nut and bolt in each J-channel at the rear.
Stay “tooned” for the test results of adding a Pontoon Wholesalers Poly 3Want to know when we have important news, updates or interviews? A tri-toon is created when we start with a normal pontoon boat (which has 2 aluminum tubes or logs mounted under the floor of the boat which act as the hull). We planned on a weekend so we would have time to make mistakes and capture the fun and excitement on video, which we did. All I was doing was using the ratcheting strap to squeeze the sections together, which happened pretty easily. Pontoon Wholesalers had already cut the J-channels based on preliminary measurement from our boat, so all we needed to do is get the channels lined up the right distance apart from the center line to slide the tube sections in place. Lifting strakes are a little … Pontoon Trailers American Pontoon Co. LLC We can custom make a 3rd tube to fit any application.
It arrived when the weather started to get cold and I opted for waiting until we could install the kit outside.A friend offered his building to use, but my goal was to put the third ‘toon on in a manner that an average do-it-yourselfer would and could do.In my mind that was outside in my drive (or yard) on the trailer. Apparently she thinks we should do the comparison test based on the 60 horsepower I have now.
Mount pontoon exactly the same height as the outer two - it will affect beaching as it is lower, thus … Sometimes common sense just gets in the way of horsepower upgrades, or is it the accountant in her?
With the gen set and big fuel tank you are ready to cruise. Maybe next year (or just between you and me…next month).The kit was delivered in four big cardboard boxes filled with the ‘toon segments and two long aluminum channels.
