My brother prop on his boat , got stolen he has a Mercury 150 hp outboard four stroke , what prop would be the best for his motor ? I think it was. 2019 -20 any help would be appreciated.

i would never run an outboard over 4500rpm....

Hi, I have Fiberglass boat 5.5 meters 650kg, on it I have Mercury Optimax 115hp, 2008. year with prop 13.25x17. maximum rpm is 5750 at speed 28knots. Can you recommend me another prop to get more speed at 4000rpm, because I ofen use it on that rpm with wife and 2 kids? Regards

Are their different height legs you can purchase? If the ones that are installed are too short can they be swapped for a longer version.

That's a avalon. Catalina. These boats are amazing.

You forgot to show the wood under the deck that is a really bad ideal , over time will go bad , would never buy one that has that !

Of course, click bait with no prices lol...

My take on this video; Barletta good, everything else crap. Umm, yeah, ok…

Hi hello I wanna ask you if you can help me with my motor. I have a fiberglass 18ft 1998 Nitro. With a 1998 120hp tracker by Mercury and Manufacture top RPM is 5250 And right now I have a 14 inch 17 pitch and I roughly do top speed of 40-50 mph but I have a lot of problems getting out of the whole a 30 gallon tank on the back and 10gal live well on the back to what prop would you recommend on my motor

4stroke got nothing on the 154 stroke

Do you know where the sticker is located that tells you how much HP the boat is rated for? Do you know how much a Barletta cabrio cast & cruise 22 footer tri toon would be rated for ?

I wish I could find a boat like that used in my area for $15k...people are still asking 20-25k for the same specs in my area.

I have a Stryker 380 Hunter Pro boat with a Mercury 20hp 4 stroke motor, can I buy a propeller with a more aggressive pitch to get a higher top speed. Thank you.

What’s your expert advice on a sport toon. 3/4 log?

Hi i wonder if I can ask you 1 thing. Have a holland steel boat about 12 tonns. New was whit 60 70hp and i dont know gearbox aksel and propeller. Upgraded 1996 to volvo penta tmd31A ore tmd31B. Papers on both in a 1 ownder sens 1981. But this new propeller is wrong i belive.. Aksel goes stright back and on to a propeller. I do have exact propeller diameter way, and I belive this pitch. Not really shure. But I am out traveling whit the boat, but not in boat now. But if you can help me whit ur knowdleg and smart brain, I send it to you all info i have. Problem is when them goes from 60 70 ore 80hp 3selyndret diesel, TO A VOLVO PENTA DIESEL TMD31A. Them sey from penta it is "probably" right. But them alsow telling me that ore this spesific diesel engine goes lowest on diesel in like 3600RPM. YES 3600 RPM. Have tryed that, but thats sucks and when i hsve had 100eds of diesel cars and engine over the time, I like it more about 1800 to 2400 at max. 1800 to 2200 is the same speed in knots. But low like 5.0 knots . If I goes babans and drive 2400 ore say max 2500rpm. It will make 6 knots. But some are noy right here i belives. Can i get your thinking of this now after see ur awsome video ???? There is a tumb of roul that have to Spear so much spare over topp of propeller to floor of boat. I think i heard this in european COUNTRIES hsve to be 10 centimeter??? From topp of blade to hull of boat ???? Maby more pitsh so i lower rpm more and can drive at 1800rpm like all european fishing boats ???? My boat is holland curtevene 950. 9.5 meter. 32 33 feet ? It is a famely cruiser ore famely hollydays boat. I Just made it over to cabin/aparmant on the sea. And pensjonist cos of a broken back. So my dream for 19 years now have bean traveling down european waterways from norway to MIDELTERAINEN and around there. And as a 40 year of have hsd diesel trucks and cars. IT GETS HARD FOR ME TO USE RPM THATS PAPER SAYS. HAVE TO BE BETTER WHIT LOWER RPM ??? AND WHIT SAVING OF DIESEL??? PAPER FOR ENGINE ACTUALY SAYS GOES LOWEST CONSUME AT 3600RPM. BUT THIS HAVE TO BE IN A PLANER BOAT ????? SHULD BELIVE LOWER RPM MAKES LOWER CONSUME ??? I CAN BE WERY WRONG. BUT HOPE YOU CAN SHARE SOME OF UR THINKINGS ???? HEAVY BOAT AT 12 TONNS ABOUT THAT ZISE. BUT NO ONES CAN MAKD ME ANY RECOMENDINGS ORE ANYTHING. SO NOW I KROSS MY FINGERS THAT YOU CAN GIVR ME SOME POINTERS. WILL HAVE ALL SPEC AT ENGINE AND PROPELLER LITTLE LATER TO DAY. AND NOW I AM IN HOLLAND THAT HAVE SOLAS PROPELLERS FOR SALES. ANOTHER ONE, HAVE PROPELLERS MADE HUGE INPROVMENTS LAST YEARS?? I KNOW MOTOR THST WAS HERE BEFORE 60 70 HP ABOUT. SAY 80 TO BE SAFE. BUT THEM SOLD ALL WHEN VOLVO PENTA WHIT PENTA GEARBOX SHAFT AND PROPELLER NON ONE CAN TELL ME HOW IT SHOULD BE. ALSOW GEARBOX I DONT KNOW HOW THIS IS GEARED TOGETHER. THATS SAYS ON THE GEARBOX MABY ???? I REALLY HOPE YOU ONE OF THIS DAYS IN FUTURE CAN GIVE me some pointer. Will see after ur coment daily 😂🎉😂❤❤❤ Propp is 21 i tvink left Turned and some number for pitsh. Have had some boats before. But use to go BETWEEN 6 7 8. Not down in 4.5 to 5 on normal power. If gives more power, the ladys Ass just going down and ur diesel consume gets way up there. And all boat yards and shop all say strange, cos over power motor and still slow and not up BETWEEN 6 8 them say them belived i would get to be in that range.

I love your style Tom

🎉I wanted the popcorn and confetti 😊. How much are the 2 models on clearance?

Hit those likes and subscribe. Best Barletta boat videos in the world. Thanks Tom

BTW, really like that steering wheel

I would suggest hooking up a power pack to the battery terminals to show the lighted features and the use of the bimini top. Love your videos, Tom and Corey.

always great videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these

Barlleta makes absolutely beautiful boats. Thanks Tom

Best boat videos on the net. Another great job Tom.

Another wonderful video. Thanks Tom.

Got my pontoon out after winter and the sea legs were up and now they’re down. Did I lose the hydraulics?

I bought a 2017 Suntracker 22ft Party Barge with Mercury 150 4 stroke. Boat had about 45 hours that was July 2020 for 25k. We use the boat at least 3 times a month and just love it. Not the fanciest boat on lake but we have a ton of fun. Have not had 1 single issue with boat or moror we have Cabelas due maint as that where boat came from new. I have oil change every season and impeller every 2 years. When I get in the water always float under boat and inspect underside and still looks new. Don't need a 80/125k boat to have a great time.. Nice boats for sure but not an average family boat. Everyone just enjoy your boat no matter what kind it is .. Its yours and your families to enjoy together No competition just fun👍

Do you find depth finders are reliable at moving speeds?

You sound like a used car salesman .

You are a nitpicker. I could pick apart any boat that you give me.

As long as you are in relatively shallow water, Sea Legs seems to be a pretty useful system to have on your pontoon boat. But, I have some observations/suggestions to make: 1 - The system should be auto-leveling. A simple Up/Down button should be sufficient on the remote. The control system for Sea Legs could - and, should - have the ability to automatically raise or lower the legs so that the boat remains level. As long as the boat is level, both the front and rear should be going up or down. When the boat becomes unlevel, one or the other end of the boat should stop raising or lowering, depending on which end is higher or lower. This is simple logic and should be easily implemented in the system - which, I presume is a rather expensive add-on option. 2 - There should be a system of alarm beeps/flashes that indicate potential issues - like battery voltage is reaching critical level, system fully deployed/retracted, obstruction detected that prevents full retraction, excessive weight, etc. This would help customers to trouble-shoot the system and reduce calls for support. 3 - The system should have an auto-reset circuit breaker that resets when an acceptable battery voltage is detected. The auto reset can be based on temperature or voltage and can be on a timer so that it is not constantly tripping and resetting in rapid succession. Again, this is something that is easily implemented and would reduce support calls. 4 - There should be an LED indicator on the dashboard of the boat to indicate whether the system is deployed/retracted. I can imagine a scenario where the boat is in water that is too deep for the Sea Legs to raise the boat, but the legs are still deployed. If the boat is floating with the legs fully extended, I can imagine a boat owner not being aware and driving the boat with the legs deployed - which could result in a catastrophic condition should the legs strike an object or the bottom while the boat is moving. Additionally, it might be helpful for the system to detect the depth of the water and not deploy if the water is too deep at either end of the boat. 5 - Operation should be possible from dashboard mounted switches, as well as from the remote. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for the video.

I don't know what "sea legs" are. You really should explain specialized terms when addressing potential customers who are looking to buy something.

You should do the comparison on a boat that is actually in the same category as Barletta not a much cheaper mid class boat like an Avalon. To show how it truly stacks up to the competition you should do a comparison against Bennington, Harris, and Godfrey. I was bought in on Barletta until I owned one. Faded seats, Faded fuel fill, and more problems after only 2 years and all they said was " that is normal wear and tear". Broken cheap corner caps. I grew to hate the electric Bimini because it would constantly go out leaving me unable to use my boat. Or if the battery was dead it was stuck in that position. I hated the finger braking latches to lock in the bimini on the front legs. I traded it in and ended up taking a chance on a Bennington. They sold me once I started actually learning about pontoon boats and not just being "sold" on their features. I was blown away at how it compared to my Barletta. My new Bennington has drain channels above the seats preventing the water from reaching my storage area in the first place. The hinges on the Bennington are easier for me to use and more user friendly. My Bennington's seat base is 1 piece so it has actual long storage not just a hole that doesn't actually function on the Barletta. My Bennington has storage in the helm. My Bennington's GPS is fully integrated and gives me a beautiful looking helm I was not stuck with the ugly tachometers and fuel gauges I got with the Barletta and every other pontoon. I also Love the front deck on my Bennington. It has twice the front deck of my old Barletta. It was hard to anchor out, dock, load and unload on such a tiny front deck with my Barletta. The chains on the back of my Barletta ultra lounge were so loud and annoying I heard them over the motor and on every wave I hit. My new Bennington has a tension spring on the chain and I rarely hear it unless the waves are crazy rough. My favorite thing about my Bennington is the 10 year transferable warranty. My Barletta had only a 5 years transfer so I am glad I sold it before I lost that. On Barletta's CZcams videos their comments are turned off because of all of the problems and negativity from owners stating many problems. On their facebook groups you have to have a vin number to join a Barletta owners page because of all of the upholstery problems so they can keep unsatisfied customers separated from future buyers. On internet forums comments are turned off so nothing bad can be spoken. My Barletta wasn't the best pontoon boat on the market like they put it out to be. Yes it is better than an Avalon but doesn't seem to be as well crafted as Harris, Godfrey, or Bennington. It sure seems like Barletta spends a fortune on advertising, you see their name everywhere on websites, paying people to speak great about the brand on youtube videos, and covering up comments and feedback. The entire brand didn't feel transparent to me and it did not live up to the hype.

jussst a curious question but i have a marlon sp14 and honda 9.9 what is the best pitch for this setup ?

10:42 it is called embossed in the vinyl seat cover.

The biggest problem with a pontoon boat is, no matter how hard you try, you look like a dork riding in one. Seriously, they are ugly, slow and incapable of helping a guy pick up chicks out of his league

A boats warranty and what is covered will also help determine it's quality. Boat builders try to make a vessel to fit everyone's budget.

Sooo. Don't buy unless it's Yamaha. 😂

Excellent presentation and vessel!

OTD price on a 2023/2024 Lusso L25U or L25UC?

100% of everything is based on price.. the lower the price, the lower the quality.. no need to explore details a vw is less than a cadillac for a reason.

Mostly just the two of us but maybe 2 others two or three times a summer. We live on a relatively small 3,000 arce lake. We bought a 26' Barletta Corsa 23UC with a 300HP Merc so needless to say, we did not heed this advice. Loving it so far and it gets a lot of attention from other pontoon owners.

They make a beautiful boat.

Now Cabrio’s have a standard dual battery as well.

How do you tell by looking the difference between anodized and powder coating?

This doesn’t really show u about buying a used boat.It’s just a walk through of this boat

At least $350k ?

great explanetion!
