  1. Southland makes a pretty good pontoon boats in Canada.

    Here is a short info about Southland http://www.yachtcouncil.com/boat-industr...


  2. Since its your first boat, I would suggest a used but not abused entry model. No bells and whistles, no 12 year payments, no need to worry about spilling Mountain Dew on the seats.

    most boats get used the first year 10 times, second year 5 times, third year once or twice, 4th year none....5th year the owner is wondering Why am i paying every month for a boat that i am too busy to use.

    now on the other hand if you love it and going all the time,. then invest more money in a boat you want and by that time you will know what you want.

    most beginners start tubing at 5-10mph and water skiing between 12-17mph.  Use wider skis and easier for you to get up and easier on the boat.  Most small pontoons (20 foot) a 50hp will work, larger engines will get skier up faster, but also suck more gas

  3. Bennington Marine makes the best pontoons get a tritoon with a 225 Honda or Mercury four stroke Motor. Playcraft also makes some nice pontoon boats. check them out both of these makes are pricey but you get what you pay for.

  4. This is a pretty new outfit, check out the page and see what you think.  Their pontoon decks are pretty nice compared to the traditional types.

  5. I have a 24 ft. tritoon with a susuki four stroke 140 a perfect boat for what you want to do. infact mine is for sale.
