DIY Tritoon Build - Episode 5 - HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO BUILD?

To buy a NEW boat with all these options would likely be $70K+!!! In this final video of the series we talk about the details of the build and the retail costs of everything. We will likely revisit this boat in 2023 because I have plans to add lifting strakes to the outer pontoons, and get the propeller dialed in better...but for now it's been an awesome boat and we're loving every trip out on it. So how did we do on our goals for the project?
Goal 1: Build a fast, comfortable, and beautiful tritoon using some new, some aftermarket, and some used materials...for 1/3 the cost of a new comparable tritoon...think we can do it?
- We built a fast, very comfortable, and beautiful looking tritoon out of new and aftermarket parts for sure! We went over the $30K goal number slightly due to the price of the new 200hp Suzuki. Simply changing to a 150hp would have saved some cash really quick...but it was worth every penny spent. The biggest compliment we've had was from a pontoon salesman (who sold Bennington, Premier, and more) who said that this boat looked and felt like an $80,000 boat he'd sell from the factory!
Goal 2: Demonstrate and teach HOW to put together a pontoon boat from scratch, along with how to install various items on your pontoon restoration project.
- We hope you learned a few things from watching this build, and that it gave you the confidence to tackle your own pontoon project big or small!
