New toon build

So this is my pontoon build. This is my first boat, I didn't really want a boat but my wife did and since we recently moved to the lake I gave in and bought one. I didn't want to drop a big chunk of change on a newer boat because I didn't know how much we would use it and plus newer toons are so expensive. We have jet skis and used them all last summer. I do like the idea of being able to jump on the boat and cruse around instead of being beat up on the jet skis.

So this is what I pick up. It's a 90 Lowe 24' good floor and carpet. The seats and console is trash. The toon came with a 1984 115 evenrude. The foot was cracked so instead of fixing the old 2 stroke now I opted for a 4 stroke Honda.

My deadline for this project is April 29th, so over the next couple of weeks I will be working on getting it all together.

This is my first boat so I'm sure I will have questions. I have ordered most of the things needed exact seats and I plan on doing that Tuesday trough pontoon stuff and using the discount code forum10.

So this will be my documentation of the build. I hope to meet some great people here and learn a lot!

I'm looking to store my gas tank on one side of the stern and batteries on the other side. This is what I'm looking for a sundeck. Does anyone know where I could source one cheaper. This is the only one I have found and it's almost 1000.

So today I removed the old seats, awaiting new seats from pontoonstuff. I meant to take pics before removal. Here is the outcome. I thought the carpet was in better shape but it will have to do for this season.

If anyone is wondering I bought the boat with the running light like that. I removed them today and plan on relocating them.
