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.
Mike (

Arrest me red. You can tell the water cops..........no way I was going that fast, it just the color making it look like I am going fast.
Very nice indeed
