[QUOTE="X-Tennessean, post: 4902147, member: 7181"] I own a Trifecta tritoon. I don't care what brand you go with but if I had one and only one suggestion.....it would be to strongly consider a tritoon over a pontoon. The ride and handle is SO much better not to mention the resale if you decide later on down the road. I spent several months looking, reading about, sitting on etc etc. Drove several miles looking at different dealers and speaking with them before I settled on the Trifecta. One of the main reasons, it was setup the way I wanted as far as layout and it was actually at my closest dealer, Malones Marine in Buchanan Tn!! Bennington was the next closest dealer in Murray and yes they are nice boats but they did not have what I wanted and at that time and it was going to be a year wait if I ordered it. I wanted the best of both worlds, one suitable for pleasure and fishing.....NOT like a Lowe fishing tritoon either. I still have seating for 12 with the ability to comfortably fish off it. I have it setup to spider rig, pull jigs, pull crankbaits frankly do any style of fishing I want to from it! Talk about relaxing and enjoyable with multiple people!! I also opted to upsize the motor from a 150 to a 200 hp Yamaha, it doesn't seem like much but were it really shines is while you are out cruising. With the bigger motor I am able to throttle back lowering the rpms but maintaining the same speed at which the 150 would be higher burning more fuel. What I figured out between brand A vs brand B, it essentially comes down to finer detail such as upholstery, decking material and under pinning unless you get into the sport versions were lifting strakes and such come into play. Feel free to message me with any other questions and I will do my best to help ya out. [/QUOTE]
