I might be able to get you a great deal...I just talked to a customers son in law yesterday that is thinking about selling his... it's the nicest one in our storage yard...he hasn't used it in the 2 1/2 years I've been the watchman here and he's always kept it under a tarped carport. His son in law said maybe around $8K and my jaw dropped....I'll get the specifics if you're interested in driving as far as Sonora Ca.

I'd certainly be interested in hearing about it! A few pics at this point would help as well as the specs.

Message me your email for pics, because I tried to post pics before and I couldn't do it....tomorrow, when it gets light, I'll take some pics and get as much info as I can....I'll try to call the owner too.

I've had zero luck finding anything used in Canada and not interested in our inflated prices for new units so it appears a road trip in the Spring is in the cards....I've had suggestions that Lake Havasu is an area to go to to find pontoon boats...can anyone confirm that or any other areas on the West Coast primarily to find a good used boat? The thinking is to set up a base and travel around the area to find a deal....

Hi everyone,

I'm still trying to nail down areas to be able to look at a good supply of used pontoon boats on the West Coast. I've been told Lake Havasu and Shasta Lake.

Are there any others on the West Coast you could suggest?

Go on Boattrader.com and filter for distance. Or even anyhow Seattle as a starting point. It is easy to figure out where the dealers active in selling pontoons are.
