We rent a pontoon every year and this year we recommended this to my son's father in law. I and my son were in the boat on the return after we dropped the rest of the folks off on Manitou island and it was not running one hundred percent for it took us 25 minutes to get from the island back to Tally's. Googled: How fast will a pontoon go with a 40 horse? A 40hp Pontoon boat with an average load of people can expect to reach speeds of around 10 – 15 mph With the two of us and one small cooler we struggled to maintain 8. It was a fairly calm day. Together my son and I weigh 380. The pontoon appears close to brand new. What's up??? We ended up being1 minute past 4 hours however there was only one pop can and a water cap that we removed when we left and the pontoon was spotlessly clean and considered our sin was not that grievous. We were told the rental was NOT for 4 hours, as the ad states see above, but 3.45 min and were charged and extra $125. Which came to $389 or $42 dollars MORE then the Best Value six hour rental. To the person in charge, I believe the owners son, we pleaded wouldn't $50 be more reasonable but he basically told us that he just doesn't have the time to listen to the excuses of people like us and he could care less if we ever did business again. I guess he is correct, we have been chastised, we are not very good folk, even though Dan and I were quite successful knowing lots of folk. Therefore in accordance with mimetic theory, i.e. birds of a feather flock together, most likely all the folk we know are not of the best character either. We and all we know, we will notify them, deeply apology and promise never to darken your enterprise with our less then desirable characters and in our deep shame wonder if $125 was enough for your atrocious inconvenience. With deepest sorrow regret and humiliation to the 75 year icon Tally's where I bought my first hot dago for $1.75 in 1975 but because of leading a life of irreparable character have become an undesirable patron.
