Want this question answered?
about 400 pounds I just scrapped out an 18 foot sweetwater/godfrey pontoon boat. got 390 pounds of aluminum, at $0.40/pound yielded $156. 200 pounds was in the railings and deck braces, 190 in the actual pontoons. after disassembling, all most of the weight of the boat is in the plywood deck, the rest in the seats/upholstery
The trailer is the big variable here, but the my 20' pontoon boat weighs about 1600 pounds with all the furniture on. The trailer will probably weigh about 1600-1800 if it's made of steel, so about 3200 lbs is probably about right.
what is the weight only of a 20' tube x 24'' in diameter,,and one more tube of 26'' in diameter x 20'
Well let's see....How about 20'? sounds about right.
This depends on the boat itself, length alone is not the determining factor. Every boat should have a specification plate on the right side of the transom (the rear board of the boat that the motor or sterndrive is attached to). This plate gives the model and serial number of the boat. It also included the maximum number of people or maximum weight of people and gear. It is important to respect the max weight for the stability of the boat at all speeds.
I have a 12x22 on my 50 hp merc-2010 model , pushing a 20 ft. Toon. Does great.
I would find it hard to imagine you could tell the difference, provided they had the same setup.

There are many different types of pontoon boats, but I assume you're asking about your basic 18' rectangular boat with two or three aluminum pontoons. Most of these boats have 50-100 horsepower engines which will allow them to cruise around 15mph and top out around 20-25 mph.
A 50 HP Johnson on a 20' Lowe Suncruiser goes 18 MPH max. That is at 5000 RPM, the trim at its maximum potential position and a whole lot of gas.
2012 20ft rbs model, 4,620 dry curb weight.
Around 20 to 25 pounds per square foot.
