Hull Design
JC Evolution & TriToon hulls and nosecones are constructed of .125 marine grade aluminum ... the strongest in the industry. In addition, the SuperTube used in all SunToons is constructed of .091 marine grade aluminum with the nosecones made of heavy-duty .100 marine grade aluminum. The U-Shaped SuperTube used on all SunToons gives you floatation when you need it. When your boat is loaded at it's heaviest, the U-shaped tube delivers greater flotation in the second or upper half than in the lower. You never carry water on top of a U-shaped tube. On a round tube, your floatation decreases in the second or upper half because you begin to carry water weight from the decreasing radius. The flat top of the U-shaped SuperTube bolts directly (SS Bolts and locking nuts) to the flat surface of the deck cross members. No "saddle brackets" are necessary. This construction eliminates the "flex" of round tube pontoon boats and gives the JC a solid feel cutting through the waves. The U-Shaped tube is based on a canoe shape or the shape used in Catamaran sailboats. This shape is more efficient through the water than is a cylinder. "Another observation that has emerged over many pontoon tests is this: There is a vast difference between pontoon shapes and designs and that difference becomes more apparent as the speed increases. For some years I was reluctant to enter the argument about round versus "U" shaped pontoons but today I am ready to enter the fray. For performance, I believe that "U" shaped logs are the better design at any speed and that, as the speed increases, the supremacy of the "U" shaped log grows exponentially." - John Fleming, PDB technical editor Standard Hull (Twin Tubes). TT (TriToon) Hulls. TriToon Classic Hull. Sport TT (TriToon Sport) Hull The unibody hull of the TriToon is a unique design that actually allows the powerful TriToon Classic to plane over the top of the water and handle like a deck boat. The large center tube extends beyond the smaller, asymmetrical side tubes. As the TriToon accelerates, the bow wave from the center tube is forced into tunnels between tubes. Water then pushes the asymmetrical planing surfaces up and the boat is instantly on plane. The TriToon performance must be experienced to be believed. |

The standard two Super-tube hull is used for the Ensign, NepToon and SunToon.
Shown is the optional aluminum bottom skin recommended for horsepower over 70 hp.
The TT (TriToon) hull uses three SuperTubes with the transom integrated into
the center tube. This hull design features a standard in-tube 55 gallon fuel tank,
aluminum bottom skin and optional in-tube ski storage. The TT (TriToon) hull is
standard on the SunToon TT and the NepToon TT.
When we designed the TriToon Classic hull over 25 years ago, it offered a level
of acceleration, handling, stability and durability unknown in the pontoon industry.
It is still our favorite for a smooth, dry ride on a rough day. Heavy duty .125 gauge
aluminum, in-tube anchor locker and in-tube 55 gallon fuel tank are standard on this hull.
In-tube ski storage is an available option. The TriToon Classic hull is standard on all
TriToon Classic models (sterndrive or outboard) and also on the Evolution series.
New for 2009 is the awesome TriToon Sport hull adding our exclusive
lifting fin design to our TT (TriToon) hull. While lifting fins (or strakes)
are nothing new to the pontoon industry, this is the first time JC has
challenged their design team to create a superior lifting fin design.
Our new TriToon Sport hull not only increases top end speed but also yields
handling that is as quick and precise as any sport boat. This hull features
a standard 55 gallon in-tube fuel tank, aluminum bottom skin and optional
in-tube ski storage. The TriToon Sport hull is standard on the SportToon TT
and the NepToon Sport TT, and the lifting fins are an available option on
the SunToon TT and NepToon TT.
