LUXE Chase Toon

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.

Curious if the motors, when fully up in trailer mode, recess into those spaces ?

No not really..

 

[RiverDave]

Just an fyi for everyone almost every pontoon has a “wet area” in the rear area of the toons.

Mine has two access hole covers on the top of the toons. If you pull those covers the toons are full of water in the rear.. I used to drain the 10-15 gallons of water out of everytime but after awhile ya just leave it and drain it in a month or so.. lol

I’d rather have them open like this one to be honest

Live wells.

Live wells.

It would work perfect for all the Havasu piranhas. Lol.

Interesting looking Pontoon... More like a boat sitting on a few toons. Definitely a step up from the standard.

Given all the amenities, is this generally a heavier boat needing more power to cruise? Or it is comparable in weight to the standard Tri-toons of today.

Can’t believe anyone has not ask what the top speed is lol

Got a lil Elon Musk SUV edges on it

It’s either a secret or they’re keeping it quiet for insurance reasons.

They are still prop testing and playing with setup.. the rpm’s were 1600 off according to Curt so he needs some different pitch props to try.

What good is a chase toon that’s slow?

 

[curtiej10]

We anticipate with 300s the boat to reach close to 60. The boat out of the hole is a rocket planing extremely fast and getting to 40 in seconds. We are playing with a few more props to achieve maximum speed. The boat handles really well for being a big boat. The boat is 32.6 feet long and 104” wide total length is 36 feet with motors. We haven’t weighed it with the interior but we think it will be about 6500 lbs.

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

There is an option to put two more cup holders in the center of the driver and passenger seat.

Probably a couple of tears
And vision!
To pull off what @curtiej10 and the crew have done, and in relatively little time.

Congratulations gentlemen

Behind the scene video

Looks really nice. I think a game changer feature would be a step down head in the center console done like Intrepid where the seat on the front of the console slides to the side and you step down into the head. I think stepping down into the center toon would provide adequate headroom. And still room for holding tank and fuel.
It's nice that Havasu has built outhouses in many places but not all areas are so equipped.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

The side door deck is epic..really sticks out as a functional item IMO

 

[baja-chris]

Agreed, seen a few new boats with drop down sides lately, great for sandbar time. Need a dive ladder off it.

Most toons are only 18” wide... Not a very spacious commode.

 

[baja-chris]

Mine are 27” and some are as big as 32”.

 

[curtiej10]

Our outer toons are 25” and our center toon is 28”

Looking at what you engineered for the bow door. Thats hot.

 

[Angler]

Dave, does that top fold down at all?
Or can it be removed easily?

Great looking toon!

Yes sir!

 

[welldigger00]

How well do the black powder coated pontoons hood up? I’d be worried about dock rash, beaching, rafting up with people, etc…

 

[Outdrive1]

What speed do you expect to see out of it when it’s all dialed in? Where’s it at now?

At this point it does not fold down and is not easily removed. We do have a version with a soft top that can gold down. She sits just under 12 feet on the trailer

It holds up pretty good. I would suggest to ceramic coat them. Just like any boat if you beach it will get beach rash. The toons can be touch up fairly easy.

We expect to see close to 60 with 300s. We are getting lower 50s with 1000 RPMs to go. The boat out of the hole is a rocket.
