My wife and I moved on the lake (smaller inland lake, 235 acres) late last summer. Her parents gave us an older jet boat, so we were able to get out on the water a bit, but it was too late in the year to get our pontoon.

We ordered a pontoon at the Detroit boat show in February, and I found and have been reading this site pretty religiously since then. The pontoon was delivered on Tuesday, when it was 45 degrees and drizzle here. In typical Michigan fashion, it was 75 and sunny the next day so we were able to get out on the maiden voyage and loved it.

I already have a prop question, which I'll post in the general section, but looking forward to all of your advice and knowledge moving forward.

Pics below, it is a Harris Sunliner 220 with the bar floor plan, with a Mercury 115HP.

Great looking boat K, I'm just a bit north of you in Ortonville and am new to the forum also. Too bad the Michigan weather hasn't cooperated with us so far.
