| putting a mercruiser on a pontoon Hope I'm in the right place here. I have a junk boat with a good Mercruiser,thinking of trying to put it on a pontoon,thinking about 24 foot. Wondering about balance and mounting the motor. I have access to an aluminum welder so that shouldn't be a problem. Greatly appreciate any info anyone has THNX Last edited by Fred : 03-20-2004 at 12:02 AM. Reason: more detail  |

| Hi Fred! Been there! Did that! Don't!!!! Unless you know how to build a third center pontoon, and allow for cooling, you will get into trouble, fire wise. The Merc seems to be a great idea, but stearage is also a problem. The weight (if it's a V8) will throw the bow up and pontoons don't plan! Sell the Merc set up and buy two o/b's. a 24 Foot pontoon can run fine on two 30's or 50's, but more than that you are just wasting fuel! It's a familey boat! Want speed buy a Cig! Bill |
