Hello from South Dakota

#1 Post by TKtooner » Sat May 14, 2011 2:11 pm

Hello Everyone!

Here's how I got here. We bought a cabin on a lake in MN a few years ago. During the negotiation, my wife noticed an old pontoon at the end of the dock and suggested I try and get that too. I thought she was nuts (what would I want with a pontoon. I'm a fisherman and have a nice fishing boat.)

Long story made short, I bought it and soon never even used the fishing boat and spent endless hours on the pontoon with my wife, friends and family. So this spring I sold the fishing boat and the 1993 Misty Harbor pontoon and purchased a new Sweetwater with a 90hp Yamaha! It's still in the "break in" period on the motor, but I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase! Bring on the summer!
