Usually pontoons look all the same to me. Friend of my wife's dropped by the lake house today on their new Aqua Patio 250 XP. Not new new they got it at the beginning of the summer and I've passed them on the lake and seen it before but this is the first time I've gotten in it and spent any time on it.

I've never heard of Aqua Patio but this thing way nicer than any other pontoon I've ever seen before. Tritoon with a 300hp Yamaha we hit 40+mph on the GPS at one point. Seats were amazing. Dang captain's chair looked like something James T Kirk would be jealous of. I don't know exactly what they paid for it but it was "around" $70k. I didn't know you could spend that much on a pontoon. Now that I've spent the day in it... I know why someone would spend that much on it.

It was this one except theirs was in black and yellow.

Funny the aggressive style with a 350 and you call it the aqua patio.

If I pay $70K for any mode of conveyance, it's going to have wings and a propeller.

Holy crap that is a colossal POS. I can't even imagine the kind of dude who is proud of that. I wouldn't even wait until they left to bust out laughing.

This thread made me hop over to a boat selling site and put in motor boats that I could buy under 75k......

There is ZERO chance I would even consider that pontoon. To each his own, but I bet that thing losses value quick

If I'm dropping that much on a boat I want something that can go offshore.

My son (7yo) asked me where the live well was. I told him it didn't have one. He just shook his head and said "nice boat but why couldn't they put a live well in it?"

About three years ago there was one at the outdoor show with twin 300s on it.

Sales guys had vids of a demo hitting 70.5 mph on GPS.

Screw that.
