I have the original molds that were used to make fiberglass pontoons, both 400 and 500 series, they are being refinished so new pontoons can be made again, I am going to make several sets for our needs, and the company doing the work asked if I would see if anyone in the tucker sno-cat world would interested in new pontoons.
they will be built to OEM standards of the original pontoons except from carbon fiber, and be ready to paint or use as is with the carbon fiber look, ready to bolt the rails, and on your sno cat. priced at approx. $2,600.00 each for 400 and $2,900.00 each for 500 series, these prices are from the manufacture, you will pay them directly and they will arrange the shipping. they will come with guarantee for workmanship. pm me for more info.

A question for those with more 'know' than me-
Carbon fiber is obviously much stronger than fiberglass, and depending on the weave can have different characteristics designed into the build. But how will it hold up to foreign items that get sucked into the track and pulled around the nose of the pontoon compared to fiberglass? |

Carbon fiber handles differently when fabricating with it vs. fiberglass. It has a higher strength to it but may seem brittle when compared to fiberglass. not good for any kind of impact. Plus it can run 2 to 6 times as expensive material wise. I'd hate to see what a carbon fiber Tucker pontoon would cost!....Bob

I've always liked the look of the steel pontoons best, never thought twice about wanting fiberglass pontoons. HOWEVER, a set of natural looking carbon fiber pontoons certainly sparks my interest! Can't wait to see the first set installed, and I also vote YES to see them on the hot rod Torpedo!

Wow, well this is pretty cool! This should help bring a few shoeless Tucker’s out of the woods. I better start saving up.
