Harris pontoon lifting strakes. Up for sale is a 2015 Harris Cruiser 220 pontoon with Mercury 115 4-stroke Command Thrust outboard. I think these were referred to in the olden days as NV Logs not sure The strakes are essentially long flattened triangles that are welded to the pontoons. A nice 4-blade stern lifting pontoon prop could help.

Sylvan Pontoons offers a full range of performance options to help you get the most out of your pontoon from full-length keels to lifting strakes to our exclusive RPT tubes available on both two- and three-tube tri-toon models.
The blue Sweetwater with lifting strakes had an average 0-20 mph time of 972 seconds while the tan Sweetwater with TAP fins had more than a second quicker time of 805 seconds. The boat is fast. We do this because the inner strake design allows the pontoon to bank into turns.
