300 HP, 50 mph South Bay 725RS "Tri-Toon" - One Wake

The South Bay 725RS is part of a new trend of faster, better handling, more luxurious, and more expensive pontoon boats. Unlike the pontoon boats of old, these new models have a third, central pontoon, bigger engines (up to DUAL 300 HP Outboards), beautifully trimmed interiors, and powerful stereo and lighting systems for turning heads on the water.
This One Wake was made possible by Jon Stovall, Parker, and the kind folks at Gainesville Marina & Boat Sales, Lake Lanier, Georgia

people...45mph in a pontoon boat is quite fast..plus these boats seem to be the best of both worlds...chillin...fishin...boarding...skiing....awesome boat!

[@ROTAXD]

Dirt Goon there's a few out there that are capable of nearly 70. 12' wide with 3 (yes, 3) 300 hp etecs clamped on the back.

[@Serveck]

200hp in my 22' does about 45mph. thats MORE than fast enough for any boat

[@mhunter46991]

I as a 21 year old, am trying to talk my 53 year old father out of a speed boat and onto one of these. Times are a changin'. His mind is not...

[@chriseconomides5474]

mike carf 45 isn’t “quite fast” there are pontoon boats the go more the dibble that

[@alexsmba]

chris economides yes, but 45 is still fast on a pontoon

Jeremy Burleson sorry slappy...unless mom & pop buy it for ya...your mcD's salary aint gonna cut it. You wanna buy a boat ? Stop smoking dope like a 16!year old and get a real job.

[@redred4599]

Popping an oxy at 50 cause smashing one at 50 wouldn't work at all it would blow every where haha

[@Icebergslim333]

Seeing a pontoon go fast is quite possibly one of the funniest things I've seen. Reminds me of the movie "Turbo".

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

Back in my highschool days, my dad had a Chaparral 23 foot boat, it had a 5.3 Chevy V8 (I don't remember if it was an LS/vortec or not) and a Volvo Penta dual prop out drive, and it'd do 45-50 depending on load. One day his buddy showed up to the lake with a tritoon, and it was the first one any of us had ever seen, and it had a damn Chevy 350 in an inboard/outboard setup in it, LOL. That bastard kept right up with my dad's Chaparral, it was hilarious. The funniest part was that at speed, it threw HUGE waves off of the front of the pontoons since it didn't have any little canards to deflect the water spray, so he'd pass you basically looking like a rolling wake with a Bimini top and people's heard sticking out of it. Thing was hilarious. I didn't know they were still making tritoons until this video, nice to see there's still demand for silly awesome stuff. :)

[@sinoperture]

Where do you piss? Just off the back free style? Must be fun drinking beer and having 13 people on board and you need to piss.

That looks like one FUN toy!!! Liking the One Wakes, too! Thanks for sharing, TST team!

[@johnnybvegas7778]

Rented a pontoon at Lake Meade a couple of years ago - full throttle she hit half the speed of smell. I have a new found likeness for pontoons!!! Thanks for sharing this video. :)

[@amolson8594]

I must be getting old because these really appeal to me now. I've seen the videos of ones down in Florida running triple 300's or twin 400's doing 60mph+. Out of my budget, but impressive machines.

[@MrCarGuy]

A Molson Now those ones "down in Florida" are doing about 60 without even having to move.

[@MigySaan]

MrCarGuy20 oh god 😂

[@ROTAXD]

A Molson there's sombody in the midwest building them with the option of triple 7 marines on them. 7 marine 627 hp. Basicly a supercharged 6.2gm ls motor mounted on a lower unit.

[@samualwhittemore228]

My grandparents had one --- in the summers me and my cousins would stay with them(4 boys). We water skiied everyday -- had hot babes on board 24/7(literally)! The MasterCraft nerds had nothing on us. Everybody wanted in the "Viking" deck boat.

[@TheDuckumz]

Was in Branson on Tablerock Lake last week and caught one of these cruising out of the marina at night, one hell of a sight with the lighting on the water...

[@macthomas5340]

Audio is on point. Glad you figured it out.

[@Heysey45]

Never watched a One Wake Video as I don't have a interest in Boats. But watched this and actually enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing mor boat videos Matt.

[@Camphlobactor]

One Wakes are awesome. Keep that up!

[@mixflip]

My neighbor just bought a pontoon boat....I thought he was nuts but now I'm thinking it's actually pretty cool. Seating for 13!!!!!!

[@BelviGER]

I've never seen a pontoon boat before but I really want one now - that looks like a great place to be

[@peterbattle5702]

pretty rad boat, Im digging the one wake trend man! good job at overtaking chris harris in many ways! keep up the good job man!

[@Butterffinger5678]

Don't forget to update the title intro! ;) Nicely done video. I like that you're shaking it up and keeping it fresh Matt.

[@gamecockmike175]

I had a friend that a 30 foot tritoon and we loved that thing. It would do 35 with 10 head on it but it never ran like that but we enjoyed that boat because we had a large group of friends and we would usually all carry our boats but around 4 oclock we were on the pontoon for the rest of the night. All it was was a party on water. Definitely worth the money

[@081588101]

this one has a nice suspension, almost no body roll, whatsoever.

[@bassoonistfromhell]

thanks for more boats Matt i love these one wakes

[@danielstoscup755]

Awesome video, didn't realize how cool pontoons are.

[@Sandals-WithSocks]

Loving the boat reviews, keep it up!

[@_GR1T_]

Nice boat there. My 22ft Veranda with a Yamaha 250hp will almost hit 50mph. I never thought I'd own a pontoon until I test drove this one. Best of both worlds.

[@Cloxxki]

I wasn't even aware of this category. Looks fun enough for inland waters.

[@miadeathwish]

Shout out from Atlanta! Glad you are finding some cool stuff!

Don't buy one though, You won't be able to sell it again. That's the boat life.

[@johancronisk3405]

I love these boating videos. This time in a mopile livingroom-porch at 50. ;)

[@pwrplnt1975]

I love pontoon boats! There are not many boats that you can have a party/BBQ on! They even make them with inboard/outboard motors. Very cool boats!

[@leviathan7250]

Omg no way!! I live 30 minutes away from Lake Lanier. Wish I'd known you were coming I would have met up with you on my Sea-doo.

[@josephgschwartz]

In land you can't beat a pontoon boat. Great for hanging, cruising, and fishing.

[@manowar5516]

[@bdcarroll415]

I love My Southbay pontoon boat ....fantastic boat company , craftsmanship is right on !

[@stough77]

I recently rented a tri-toon boat while visiting Lake Havasu - it couldn't come close to the speed of this one but it was a good fit for a family with kids.

[@modenajon]

Man pontoons have come a long way! Matt if I could give some advice...you should start going over the features of the boats more. Do more of a quick walk around showing storage, live wells, etc...

[@DivideBYZero69]

These one wake videos are pretty cool.

[@plumboss9764]

Love the spill bear test. Winner!

[@timmaynard1394]

[@rossjohnson1301]

I love this style of review talking about it while testing it alot of boat channels will walk you around it then show you a minute of it performing and I prefer this much more good job

[@Bitter65]

Very cool boat, I'm loving the One Wake series. That price is batshit insane for a pontoon but I live in SoFl and frequently see center consoles that sell for 500K or more so I'm sure there's a market. If my numbers ever come up in the lotto a 100mph pontoon sounds like an excellent way to scare the living piss out of my friends and family.

Damn!! Wish we could have had these things back in the 80's on Lake Hamilton back home in Arkansas. All we had was ponderous and slow as hell party barges.

[@Zcypot]

now that looks like a comfy boat

[@richmac918]

My first experience with a pontoon was when I was 15 and a developer on our lake in NH hired me to show perspective customers around. Absolutely HATED that thing. 40HP Johnson, top speed of about 10mph. Took what felt like hours to get across the lake. Fast forward to today and these things rock. I'm really thinking about getting rid of my 23' Chaparral and going with one of these. So much more room and you never have to worry about chipping or scratching the gel coat. If you're boating on a lake these things are just way more practical.

[@TankThomas44]

Bad ass! I've never owned a boat. I've never had any interest in them. This boat might change my mind. Very cool! It's a floating room on the water. I dig it

[@dacarguru7983]

[@JeffScroggin]

Party barges are were it's at, I don't understand why more people don't go this route.

[@-tr0n]

agreed. most people spend 90% of their time at 0-15mph. i mean, gas is expensive and it's hard to drink at 60.

[@Corpvet]

no where to piss, well more difficult for ladies unless she has a shooting clit

[@JeffScroggin]

Your wakeboarding boat you spent $80k on but never will really wakeboard behind because you're too old ain't got a pisser on it either.

[@ROTAXD]

Corp Vet you can grab a portable toilet for $80 at any camping store. Flushing & self contained. They can cover up with a towel or something. If sombody has to drip a deuce they can just go swimming.

[@OmgDoubleDTV]

Keep up the great content 🔥🔥🔥 you earned a new sub 🙏

[@gifted6305]

Looks like a smooth boat

[@moist_ointment]

Growing up, my father always had speed boats. I would make fun of pontoon boats as we flew past them. Now hes starting to get a little older, he recently traded the speed boat in for a Pontoon, and I'm in love. When I buy a boat, itll definitely be a Pontoon. The truth is, when you're flying 40mph or so, the engine is loud, the wind is loud, it's fun for a little, but on the lake theres no destination. I'm just driving on the lake for the sake of driving on the lake. I can comfortably bring 8 or so friends out, and just park cruise along. Park somewhere and drink beer, swim, grill, and hang out. Theres multiple decks and doors. Overall, I just get a much more fun experience in a day of boating on a pontoon boat.

[@kye7369]

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Forget testing this 300HP pool float for 10 on turns and wakes. Add TST staff and start jettisoning them at 30, 35, 40 MPH to test their survival and satisfaction. That will be reality once alcohol is added.

[@troy9er]

I grew up on boats. My Parents had boats on Lake Michigan for 25 years. I love em but I also remember a sign my Dad had on our 42 ft Christ Craft. It said definition of a boat: it’s a hole in the water that you throw money into!!! LOL!!! Which can be true, however we used ours like a vacation cottage. So if you subtract the property Taxes’s and the higher cost of the land based building. It probably was not that expensive, (yea rite!!!) except the yearly maintenance and the fact that it got about 7 th’s of a mile to a gallon of gas!!!! It was powered by 2-283 cid V8 motors swinging 2-22inch props!! Ours was a wood boat so the bottom had to be repainted every year and it had to be completely checked bow to stern for any dry rot. It typically toot us a month of weekends to get it ready for the water each season. But it was worth it!!!! It also provided my Dad and I a great father and Son bonding experience. One year we both took the US Power Squadron Course where we learned how to plot courses and other cool marine stuff. Of course who needs Course plotting with all the GPS technology that we have today. However that was back in the 70’s.

[@chucktaylor7980]

We have a Bennington tri toon with two 350hp Yamaha engines a customer ordered just under $200k. Clocked in at 64 mph

[@robertabbott2083]

Look's sweet. Did a 2 part rant, about the Duck boat roll over in Branson last month. Someone asked if I approved the Tritoon? Great looking boat. Look's stable, but not cheap. Fast enough to get out of its own way. Saftey issues aside, ( P.F.D.s) for everyone. And (SHOW ME YOU CAN SWIM) . Last (NO GRABASS) . Let's have some fun. (RABBID BOB)

[@Buccaneer9]

Matt, some corrections on the Yamaha F300. It shares a Naturally Aspirated 4.2L V6 that is available in models from the VF200/225/250 SHO & F225/250/300. Almost all current Yamaha four strokes are designed to rev to 6000rpm at full throttle. The F115 revs to 6300rpms. That boat may be propped incorrectly, and may need to come down an inch in propeller pitch. Yeah, I work for Yamaha! We're headquartered in Kennesaw.

[@brushrescue1701]

That's awesome man

[@percival23]

Wow, talk about the best of both worlds.

[@ectolle54]

I used to always have runabouts or ski boats with big American V8s and the only thing my pontoon doesn’t do that those would is sound good. The new pontoons are awesome. Ride good, good top speed and tons of room. Only thing you can’t do that specialty boat can is probably wakeboard or surf.
