Tritoons handle big waves much better than bitoons both at rest and underway.
Tritoon advantages. A tritoon also has a larger engine than a traditional pontoon which allows for fun activities such as skiing and tubing. The Tritoon is larger and has a significantly more powerful engine. Although tritoons can offer benefits in these areas there are powerful and bigger pontoons that may do the trick so always compare prices and weigh the pros and cons before buying.
Some larger pontoons with triple tubes can be rigged with two or three outboard motors. Tritoons also have a smaller turning ratio. Im looking at a 2021 Bowrider 24RTFBC.
As mentioned previously a tritoon may be a good choice for those who enjoy participating in watersports. They also boast more stability due to that additional pontoon tube. The skys the limit when shopping for a high horsepower engine.
Compared to a traditional pontoon boat the tritoon can handle rough waters without giving a horribly bumpy ride. Average speeds of how fast a tritoon can cruise are on average between 40 and 50 mph. Both great attributes for big water.
As mentioned tritoon boats have a speed advantage over pontoons. This added stability and structure also means the boat can handle more horsepower. Plus the stable platform and extra room to move around are two other advantages that give pontoons the edge.
In choppier deeper and bigger waters a tritoon would be beneficial especially if doing watersports or deep sea fishing in large bodies of water. So in the end I think it comes down to. Pros or cons for the Bowrider.
