Just new here on the forum. I work with pontoon boats on a daily basis so I thought I might create an account and see what this is all about. Let me know if you have any questions about pontoon boats.

Definitely, I'd be interested in the ways you guys are using these boats. We're pretty innovative at times with the add-ons that we make but we rely on customer's feedback to help guide us to making the ones that people will want.

If you have suggestions, shoot them my way. We have our own factory here and I'm sure they'd be interested in new ideas for 2012.

On your website you don't let a customer see much.Your pics are small and have no close up detail at all. Unless I missed something I wouldn't know what I was getting. I went through the build a boat and the only pic of my selection was a view from a thousand feet up. No good closeups of interior, or anything. Like buying a pig in a poke.

I have to agree with LR on the website. You need bigger and more detailed pics of your products. Too small for our failing eye sight!

I have not looked at the site yet, but I am happy to have you near-by as I am in Cleveland. Do yall offer strakes, and/or install them on other baots by chance?

Tell you what, I'll get some bigger photos on there of the boats themselves. (I'm also adding a totally new page with the new pontoon boats which may take care of this for you.) Thanks.

We definitely offer high-performance lifting strakes as an option on our boats: $995 installed for a two-pontoon boat. I'd have to find out whether or not they'd install them on a different manufacturer's boat but my guess is that they're specific to the 25"-diameter pontoons that we're making here.

Yep, yep... (I kind of inherited the website part of this recently so I'll get on it).

I put the used pontoon boats on there earlier this morning but I'll have to find a good place to put the link for that. (You can only find it now by going to the site map link first.)

It's the best way I know of getting honest comments. Most people in real life will hold back a little and not tell you the whole story. There's just something about the Internet that makes people brutally honest to you. :laugh:
