$2800 was what i paid for the whole boatStephen wrote:That's a much better price than I would have expected. I would have thought that to get a bigger and badder motor, I'd be looking at spending upwards of 7-8k.

Re: I'm buying a new pontoon Saturday. Help?
That's what i use is a big dog pillow. He still however likes to get up to see who's overboard. If your really worried about it they sell dog shoes to cover his paws. You may think about a dog ramp or dock. Work it baby ! ask the dealer to include accessories u may need,two anchors, telescoping pole,mooring cover,8 life jackets ect. you get the idea.Don't tell him how set on this boat you may be.Tell him you are looking at 4 other boats that include accessories as above. Give him a little fight don't be a lay down.

Re: I'm buying a new pontoon Saturday. Help?
Good ideas. I sent the dealer salesman an email about an hour ago and I think I've made it clear that I'm expecting him to lower the price a few hundred $$ and possibly throw in a few accessories. He's already agreed to lower the price a bit, but we'll see about the accessories. One of my main hopes is that this boat has a wench and anchor already in place, and that it can be automatically controlled from the captains seat.

Re: I'm buying a new pontoon Saturday. Help?
Great looking boat you're looking at there. I'll agree that the 50hp is small, hell I think my 90 is small on the rare occasion that I want to go a little faster or have someone pull me faster.

Re: I'm buying a new pontoon Saturday. Help?
Stephen, the pics of the boat look really good. as for the price, not bad, but you might try haggling alittle bit. I wouldn't concern myself too much about the motor being a 50 hp. Especially if you don't plan on pulling skiiers. There's only 1 foot of difference between the size of your boat and mine. We have a 75 yammy on ours and it scoots us along just fine. at 3/4 throttle I was running 23 mph by gps. I havent had it wide open yet since it's still early in the break in period. If after you've had the boat awhile and you're unhappy with the motor you can always upgrade but be warned, those babies are not cheap... anyway I think you'll be happy with that boat.. it sure looks good.. did you have some place to store it? If not I would suggest some kind of pontoon cover.. Just sitting out in the sun can really take it's toll on your upholstery. Sounds like your pumped... congrats on the new boat.. just 2 more days to christmas!!!!

Sweet ride
If you look close the winch strap is hooked under the deck. Looks like winch is lower than most I have seen. They would not sell a trailer without a winch as that is standard on boat trailer
