THE FLOATER IS GETTING A REBUILD courtesy (pontoonstuff.com)

Thanks Ty! Couldn't have done it without you!

I was so bored last night I tackled the sundeck. Wow that was more tedious than I was expecting. I had enough carpet to do all 3 sections and I even have enough left to redo the middle and one side piece all over again if anything happens to it. I think it came out great. I especially love the side by side pics of the old and new. The lighting was shitty in the garage made the middle section look weird.

Come on Spring!

Good job , we have to get ours made, we have to do it in two pieces, so we can still get to the engine if needed

Drastic difference! Looks good.

I just received the new stern ladder from Pontoon Stuff! Man this thing is solid! And very shiny!

If you are going to a boat show look at the ladder on the Manitou's and Premier's it's the same one.
I was worried since my old stern ladder had rubber stoppers that rested on the end of the toon and this one didn't if it would be sturdy enough. The ladder rungs unfold and rest against the handles at a perfect angle. I am not sure of the weight limitation but I would easily think 300+ lbs. My old tracker has walls that go all the way to the end of the rear deck, I was worried it wouldn't fit. I compared it to the sundeck cover on that side And a picture I have of the rear entry and it will be just fine!

If you are looking for a stern ladder this is the one. It may be more expensive than some of the others out there, but well worth it in my opinion.

I can't wait to get down to the lake to mount it up!

Supposed to be almost 60 at the lake tomorrow! Going down to do some 4-wheelin and put the ladder and sundeck on THE FLOATER...!

Man just the idea of getting out of the city has me smilin!

[badmoonrising]

Yeah it was in the 50s today and yesterday here and tomorrpow near 60...THEN 3 snowstorms next week with cold temps

Coast Guard has a steel hull only rule on the Chesapeake, won't be lifted until all the ice breaks up. Right now it's broken up but lots of floating ice everywhere.I was going to go out over the weekend

Great day at the lake!! Ladder fit like a glove! Sun deck took some work but got it mounted, the old deck pad actually matches pretty well. It definitely needs cleaned. One of the aft cover poles fell down and we had about 50 gallons of water on the cover, but it sure is waterproof! I added another pole this time lets see how she does.
We ran out of time for anything else due to some 4 wheelin....
