Tritoons - Higher Performance Than Your Average Pontoon
Tritoons are for those who want to do more with their boat than just leisurely cruising. Structurally, tritoons differ from pontoons by having a third, center tube. This extra tube can be larger than the two outside tubes or mounted lower than them as well. The added tube improves both the stability and the performance of the boat.
The higher horsepower rating makes them faster and more capable of pulling water skiers, wakeboarders, and tubers. Tritoons are also built for longer more adventurous cruises because they are more stable and offer a smoother ride in choppy water.
Tritoons also tend to be larger with room for more friends and family, and additional amenities.
