Why is that playcat? Is that usually rare to get with used pontoon boats?

It's rare that we see a double bimini/full enclosure/tritoon that's been on the used boat market.

People just don't sell or trade them very often. Our boats have a very long lifespan, and are excellent values new. Used boats, equipped like yours, are even better values.

We've been discussing full enclosures and sleeping on the river this past week. We also had another gentleman that purchased a boat with your exact 2006 model Johnson 140 engine--the only year they made it.

You should have a good time this Summer. Your boat would be great to do some long distance river travel.
