New Pontoon Skipper

#1 Post by plane jim » Thu Jul 05, 2012 7:17 pm

Hello Everyone-Just purchased my first pontoon and decided to register, Although it is a used Suntracker 21 with a BF60, I sure enjoy it and used for the first time today. I have had boats in the past and it is really a challenge to square it up when loading in the wind. :biggrin2

I live just north of Houston and I feel like a little boy at Christmas with my new toy (well new to me). My family really enjoy the pontoon and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Jim. I have close to the same boat. 2006 Suntracker Bass Buggy 18 with a 2005 60HP 2 Stroke Bigfoot. The 2 stroke runs great when warmed up, but can take a few tries to get started. Enjoy your new toon!
