Boron has also been used in some rockets as an ignition source. Boron-10, one of the naturally occurring isotopes of boron, is a good absorber of neutrons and is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors, as a radiation shield and as a neutron detector. Boron filaments are used in the aerospace industry because of their high-strength and lightweight.
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.

Re: can a 9.9 push a 24 foot pontoon? I bought a 24' pontoon boat and needed to move it across a lake. I put my 14' jon boat on the pontoon boat and used its 5 hp to push it. Oddly enough the pontoon boat with the jon boat moved just about as fast as the jon boat with the 5 hp.
