It's all over the board depending on what you want specifically Jason. For that big I/O South Bay I just bought, it's an 07 with 150 hours and looks pretty much new. It was right at 50k.

I paid 13 for mine. The decals on the skins are dry rotted and the Bimini is a bit faded but the interior was like new.

Paid $15k for my 2000 Bennington Tritoon with Honda 90Hp outboard but looked for no less than 2 years and bought it in Central Cal in late December/early Jan. Pictures are up in the "Show us your toon" thread.

7500, 1998 22' with a 75hp outboard. Gets us around Parker just fine, and has a great stereo to boot.

Same here, interior was immaculate but exterior stickers are worn. Need to do a wrap. I lucked out and the previous owner had just dropped $4k in new double Bimini sunbrella canvas and mooring cover.

Exactly what I'm looking for, just something basic for a slow cruise now and then, tough to find in this price range though...........

My 25'er with 90hp and three toons hits about 22 mph set on kill. This with a medium load and full tank. About 18 mph loaded down. Still prop testing. I may need to go to a 11p from my 13p three blade.

I'm the lucky one, because I scored a smoking deal on a 2015 Crest Caribbean 25' with a Verado 250 for $55k. Should have been $75k+ but they no longer wanted it and needed money asap. It was one of those right place at the right time and I had cash.

My 22' with a 75 will do 19 with a couple people. I bought it with plans to swap the motor for something a little bigger, but then I saw how expensive Outboards are and said forget it.

You did score. It's crazy how much better prices are on pontoons from the Midwest east. Every pontoon brand new or used on the west coast are WAY over inflated on their price.

2006 Lowes 23' tritoon 4.3 v6 $16.5k. Does 32ish unloaded bimini down. Owner ought it for $16k 3 years before😬, but hey, that's what the market is. Sold my 2001 23' pontoon with a mercury 50hp outboard for $8500. Hit 16mph once with tops down by myself, but with a crew onboard, we were at 5mph sometimes. On the plus side, it used one gallon per hour😁!
