Together, they generate about 13, horsepower. In addition to that, she also has two conventional engines to help her move around the water a little easier when she needs to cruise at a slower speed. The Kereon is an She has three 2, horsepower CRM diesel engines that were designed by Angelo Arnaboldi, a naval architect. The Kereon can accommodate six guests in three cabins.

But some want to play it safe while still love the adrenaline rush that comes with speed. So, it is obvious to ask whether 30 knots is fast for my boat? For most boats especially those built for speed; they can easily surpass 30 knots under the right conditions. For example deck boats, pontoon, center console boats, Runabout Boats can run at 30 knots for a longer period of time without any negative impact on its stability or its efficiency.
On the other hand for boats such as a trawler, tug, dingy, sailboats and ski boats the speed of 30 knots is too fast, unsafe and uneconomical. You will be surprised to know pontoons are sufficiently fast to be used for most water sports.
Whether its Speed Tubing, Wakeboarding or Water ski a typical pontoon boat is capable of its function. A typical 26 feet pontoon with hp motor easily reach speeds up to 40 mph. Even under full load conditions, you can go to 30 mph. From my experience, the optimum speed for water sports is 15 to 35 mph.
So your pontoon might be a little slow but will be just fine for any water sports you like to do. While adding an additional motor or upgrading to a higher power helps.
It is the load that restricts overall speed. If you are looking to upgrade your boat motor I suggest you follow this thumb rule; you need to double the power for the speed increased. For example, if you need to double your current speed just quadruple your boat power.
I find this rule back in reading on different forums. If you are like me who likes to go for recreational boating or at least been on a boat in a lifetime. Then you must know a boat is somewhat unstable at rest, but it gains stability as it starts to move.
