Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

First of all thanks for having me onboard. I chose TOPWATER being thats where I prefer the old pontoon to stay.

Its so ugly I could not resist it. Noah must have pulled it behind the ARK. The pictures I'm attaching with this post are as we are removing the decking and the others afterward.

Can anyone identify who the manufacture of this 8' x 20' fiberglass U pontoon is and what it may have looked like new. We are making it into a fishing platform moreso than a party barge to be used in a small nearby lake.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing any info that someone may have.

Welcome and nice project, I have no ideal what it is, but one of our group will come up with it.

Keep the pictures coming and any questions just yell

Thats very cool, keep us posted on your progress!

Welcome
I am thinking it is a home built

I found a metal tag that says:
BAYOU INDUSTRIAL CO
MINDEN LA
SERIAL #5424
I said this is going to be easy since Minden, La is only 70 miles from my home. Boy was I wrong!! I can't find anything on the company except from local lore. It was the forerunner of some fiberglass boat builder of today. Nobody can seem to remember which one. At least those I have talked to.

Thanks,
Topwater
