My name is Steve. My wife Kim and I just bought our first pontoon. It's a 2003 Trinidad 222 with a 90hp 4-stroke. We've only had it a couple of weeks and we've been out on it a few times and just love it. I think we have the only Lab that doesn't like water, so we decided a pontoon would be the way to go so we could all enjoy some time on the water together.
I've been reading lots of great information on this site and I look forward to reading more and asking questions (and maybe some day I'll be able to help out another newbie).
I started to delay my first post till I had some pictures of our pontoon. But I decided I'm a big boy and I can take the abuse for posting without pics
. We've just been having so much fun on the new (to us) pontoon, that taking pictures hasn't been a priority.I've been around boats most of my life when I was growing up -- the family boat. But I had never owned one myself. I've owned all sorts of PWC over the years. But now that I'm getting older (47), I like to take things a little slower. So a pontoon boat was just the solution. I had a set criteria of things I wanted in a pontoon boat (22', 4-stroke 90hp, bench seats, etc). So when we finally found a boat that met all of those things, we jumped on it. We were lucky to find a 1-owner boat that he had custom ordered and had taken great care of the boat (he's been great to let me continue to contact him with questions as well).
Hopefully we'll get to meet some of you on the water some day!
but we're a patient group...
