Newbie from NE Florida.

#1 Post by Red555 » Tue May 17, 2011 12:16 pm

Greetings:
I am picking up my pontoon boat in 2 days. First boat for me.
We rented a pontoon boat to see if we liked it.
After 2 hours in the rental, my wife said "Let's buy one."
I said "OK".

I've been reading the posts here. Thanks to you all for the information thus far.

Very nice indeed
