New to the world of pontoon boats

#1 Post by kcdaniels » Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:29 pm

Hello....
Hi my name is Dan and I own a pontoon boat....lol.....sounds like a AA meeting... :biggrin2
We just bought a 1990 20ft Sweetwater with 1994 Suzuki 55 hp....

never owned a boat but been around them off and on my whole life...being I am a true Floridian :)
We have had the boat out on the lake 4 or 5 times and ran great....then got water in the gas (all new fittings and removed the carbs and cleaned) then the switch went bad and replaced that...

Anyway have plans to rip up the carpet and paint (10X) as I'm a professional painter lol....then a cover and new 10 ft top.
Been lurking for a while and seems like a informative and friendly place...here is a picture...and I will post more as I work on it... Ok I got it :nana

Since it's a slideshow you might just want to post a link with the "URL" tag. Like this:
