[newlights]

Here are a couple of pics from the day I purchased it. I did not get any interior pics wish I had to show you the difference. I will get pics tonight with the new interior to post however. The mechanic will have my new water pump on tonight and I should be ready to take it a pressure wash the carpet and scrub on the toons some then off to the Marina.

I swear it feels like Ive been to hell and back over this pontoon. I bought it in Febuary got an upholter to tell me hed do the work and have it done in 2 weeks. I rented a slip from april 1st - dec 31st for it at a marina. The upholster just got it back to me early last week.... yes it took that long to get to it!!! GRRRR then I took it to the guy I bought it from who owns and runs a boat mechanic and boat shop selling equipment etc. He was supposed to work on the engine said b/c it sat for 2 years hed have to work it over a little maybe even need to do some carb work to it to get it started, and that was no problem hes do taht for free. I took it to him and he emptied the gas tanks which apparently were full. I had asked him to check the electricals and change lower unit oil as well and told him I would pay him for those items and the engine tune up was supposed to be free. He called 2 days later said it was done. I picked it up trusting him took it to the marina and it wouldnt start. I had to have a tow and leave it overnight and then tow it back to the trailer and out the next day. Got me a diff mechanic who imediatly told me the water pump was out and there was no way the guy who sold it to me had even started it b/c he would have noticed. Also none of the electricals worked so it all had to be rewired. and got the waterpump on and the carbs are to gummed up to even adjust them.... so now we are waiting on new carbs and another 200 bill jsut to do that. I swear !! All i want is on the water!!! Ive been paying for an empty slip since april!

Chin UP!
Here's a while you wait plan!

In the mean time, go get a bunch of inner tubes and tie em together.
Throw a sheet of plywood on em and tie the whole thing in your slip.
Now go get beer, some tunes, some beads, and have a raging party on the 'toon' in the slip!
