No pictures, but thought I'd update. This last week we got our new pontoon ladder, fence brace, and bimini light. We also ordered our 1st half of our furniture :nana . I'll post pictures here once I get the furniture in and take some pictures. The ladder from pontoon stuff seems very sturdy and excellent quality!!!!

Right now I'm looking for motors. I've found an 06 optimax 150 for about 5k. I feel like its a pretty good deal. Anyone have any input on the value? From other motors i've found, I haven't seen anything of this year range for less than 5k. Still talking to the guy to get hours and compression info. I may have a roadtrip in my future to pick it up :biggrin2

A mini hijack if you will. What's with the new speaker grill styling? Yours look great btw Ferg.

I grew up with old-school grills that you (or more importantly your child) couldn't stick your finger through. I bought a sub for my boat with an open grill like this and no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't even find an old style one. I finally found a spot under my bench where I could face it to the wall and not worry about it.
It's not that I don't trust my friends. It's just that things get a little rough on any boat. Can anyone explain a reason for this change other than looks?

I agree with it being looks. Fosgate has some decent grills that are stylish and protective. You can also get normal grill covers online.

It's all good!. By the way, there needs to be category for "Custom" or "Home Made" for the Brand of pontoons thread :biggrin2 or maybe "Frankenstein"? Since I know there's quite a few South Bay chassis' but not an actual full South Bay boat

My other goody delivered today :nana

Awesome! Hey a build is a build right! I think they are all pretty much Frankenstein'd one way or another. :coffee
