So then last week I bought this Sea-Doo for $200!!
With a Trailer! Bought a $69 starter and away she went-kids were happy about that one. Probably my deal of a lifetime.

Great looking boat! My boat is ugly right now but I can relate to the first pontoon hobby. You're on a roll with that jet ski.

Enjoying Jacomo.

Looks GREAT! What a steal on that Waverunner.

Just curious how much it cost in parts to redo that Toon?

Didn't keep exact track because I'm not sure we wanted to know but I'd say in the neighborhood of $3500. New siding was $500. furniture about $2000 then we painted rails, added decals, have porta-potty and dressing room, trolling motor bracket and other small misc. items
