Greetings from Shawnee, KS

#1 Post by billb1981 » Fri May 22, 2015 1:42 pm

Hello fellow boaters....

Wanted to stop in and say hello....

My wife and I are getting ready to pick up our 2015 Lowe SF214 tomorrow. After doing a lot of research, I decided this would fit better for us compared to the Sun Tracker Fishin Barge 20'. It seemed that for the same price, Lowe had a lot more add-ins.

I grew up on a 32' Cabin Cruiser down at the Lake of the Ozarks. From there I had a 16 foot fishing boat through high school and college. I love to fish, but as I've gotten older, prefer the same options but a little more comfort, which made the decision for a pontoon pretty easy! The wife and I did some research and decided why not!? So, here we are.

I went ahead and purchased a tandem axle trailer as I think it's probably going to be a safer more comfortable tow, as we plan to go to Clinton (Lawrence), Hillsdale, Smithville, Truman for the most part.

I've been enjoying these forums!

Bill and Brandi

Thanks everyone. We picked her up this afternoon. As luck would have it we are under a flood watch, and rain for the next 7 days, so not sure when we will get her out.
