LUXE Chase Toon

[RiverDave]

Getting ready to head down and film the first one in a half an hour or so..

Stacy wanted to see it early this am so we let up at the riviera so she could look at one. I have to admit for the first one (basically the prototype) showing up it looks really good!

Pics when Stacy checked it out..

Love this side detail that comes up to expose the Chase Toon logo.

Also note the billet stand offs ahead of the motors.

Wet area behind the deck and our first look at the water divertes.

New push button ladder I have never seen before. I like this whole transom program a lot!

Better look at the water diverters on the transom.

Couple of pics when they were fueling at the docks and taking the first owners for a ride.

I really like the walk off stair case and styling associated with it how it rolls into the water.

I also like the styling when the front door is closed.

Center console style chase lounge in the front

Open Bow or front seating area

Rear lounge seating

Full walk through video coming Monday!

[Swain]

Looks pretty cool. Wonder the weight of it?

 

[BIGRED9158]

Will the video include the drop down side?

 

[RiverDave]

Will the video include the drop down side?

Yes sir!

 

[riverroyal]

holy 'wipe down'!!!! Thing is wayyyyyyy nicer than I was anticipating. Sure makes the competition look dated

 

[Rayson1971]

I'm thinking they just one up'd the pontoon game. Others to follow. Production pontoons may not want to spend the money though.

They just one upped the CC game in Havasu.

Looks awesome. Excited to get a ride on number 3 this spring.

 

[King295]

Looks great, definitely unique and sleek.

 

[SoCalDave]

That looks badass, looking forward to the video.

 

[bonesfab]

So did Stacy put a deposit down??

 

[ChrisV]

Wow that’s sick!

 

[satellitemike]

Looks great, but only one adult beverage holder at the drivers helm?
Have they release prelim pricing?

 

[havasuhusker]

Badass!

 

[DWC]

That’s a good looking toon. The competition is gonna have to play catch up here. Looking forward to hearing how it runs.

 

[boatnam2]

Sweet ass rig!

 

[Cole Trickle]

Looks bad ass.....total game changer

If i was going to give any feedback from a first visual inspection front i think taking the boat sides a couple feet further back so the rear swim step seats are sandwiched between fiberglass. I think it would look better and provide some security for kids/drunks sitting back there and might also be a great spot for a top mounted cooler or storage cubby.

great job.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

That’s a game- changer in the Toon market .

 

[lenmann]

Dayum! definitely not your grandpa's pontoon.

Totally digging the styling and the fact that while is a pontoon it doesn't look like one. Cant wait to learn more.

Right now it’s starting at 300k with 300’s..

 

[attitude]

Man that is bad ass! Always cool to see new boat ideas come to life.

 

[Ladsm]

Curt has been killing it the last 2 years getting this from an idea on a napkin to floating in the water.

 

[JB in so cal]

holy 'wipe down'!!!! Thing is wayyyyyyy nicer than I was anticipating. Sure makes the competition look dated

I'm guessing people dropping $400k on a boat isn't gonna do much of that

 

[riverroyal]

I need a side gig

 

[Done-it-again]

Wow, great outside the box thinking and turned out great for the first one. It will just get better from there.

The only small criticism that “I” have is the T top. My first impression that it reminded me of a golf cart lid. Perhaps the T-top flows better in person than in the photos for me.

 

[sirbob]

Ok …
That’s bad ass

 

[HCP3]

It looks great! I am curious how it performs compared to a generic pontoon with the same power. Weight difference, acceleration, etc. Not that it is made to be a speed record holder. Just curious. Looking forward to the full RDP review!

This boat definitely deserves the term "game changer".

 

[dread Pirate]

Needs a bbq!

 

[BIGRED9158]

Needs a bbq!

I was thinking stripper pole

 

[Jonas Grumby]

Sorry to be a Debby downer, but $300k and they use adel clamps and Ty-wraps to secure the lines running to the Engines, for steering , electrical and fuel?
Maybe it’s a work in progress.

They are stainless Adel clamps!

 

[schweeng]

very nice..... nice hybrid of a toon and a CC

Always has to be one person.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

So did Stacy put a deposit down??

First thing I thought..I really like this thing. @RiverDiva ?????

 

[Tank]

That thing is sick AF! Like others said, this one is bad ass, can’t see what they do from here.

One question, what’s the story with the holes on the sponsons? What’s that all about?

My bet is weight and stability when floating, and self drain quickly when underway.

So are they hollow all the way through? Can’t be.

So is this a “chase toon” or a “chaise toon”

The name is throwing me off as if it’s named after the seating arrangement as someone mentioned above it’s spelled chaise.

Not to nitpick, I’ve followed these luxe threads and I always wondered where the name chase toon came from or the background on it.

I’m assuming by them making it one of the most luxurious pontoons on the market they’re going after big money clientele. Meaning “chase toon” for the big guys with much larger cats or v bottoms for the friends that don’t fit to chase them around on?

I have no idea what they were thinking about the name.

But to me, my first thought was this was for guy that already had a 52 MTI and wanted his friends that didn’t fit to be able to join them on poker runs?

Haha - while I was typing the same thought…

Yup pretty spot on! Similar concept to a chase truck…

Doesn’t have to be just for the big cat/v bottom guys though… We’re also building a sweet M19 that this toon would love to chase around! Lol

 

[n2otoofast4u]

So are they hollow all the way through? Can’t be.

No, I would assume there’s a wall/baffle about where the tube disappears under the structure of the boat.

Again, I am making assumptions.

Im still perplexed at what the point of having the ends open like that is. Im
Sure it’s done for a reason but seems like it would not be a great design when it Gillis up with water upon beach in everytime.

It’s Ballast tanks for wake surfing

I am surprised anyone hasn’t said this yet took curt about 2 years to complete this project and start the company he is light years ahead of speed! Congratulations book looks amazing can’t wait to see more of that 19 jet boat @curtiej10

 

[curtiej10]

Sorry for.not responding sooner been at the lake with customer one doing a photo shoot. The company name is Luxe Custom Crafts and the model is 33 Chasetoon. The name came from when I had my first boat a 21 cobra and I wanted a pontoon to chase the little boat but definitely played off a trophy truck and chase truck.
The reason the wells are open is we use stand off brackets to bolt the motors to the toons, you wouldn’t be able to get the backing plate inside the toon to bolt up the outboard bracket. Some pontoon manufacturers bolt directly to the toon so they just need a small access hole to bolt the motors. But since these are custom built to our specs we could include the well.

It’s been officially 18 months from starting the plug till now. From a napkin sketch to now about 2 years. I’m very proud of our team and what we’ve accomplished

Ah! Makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain. Fantastic looking ride. I see nothing but success in your future. Congrats.
