Welcome. We have similar South Bay 522 tri-toon and really like it, but don't have the double bimini. That looks great. I'm jealous of that.

NICE Toon!... Those are 3 blessed boys right there... You have just changed their lives forever! Now, when they are older and looking back on their childhood... It will be infused with great times on the pontoon boat... It will be, "remember when we were on the boat and..." May you and your family have many happy and peaceful years on your new boat. Congratulations...
Sincerely,
Rich

Good lookin' crew you've got there. I'll bet they'll keep it lively on the water. It'll be a contest to see who wears out first!!
Enjoy them and your time on the water.

Well we went on out on our test run last yesterday evening and it handled better than I expected. The 150 pushes it along great and was as smooth as glass across the water we are going to have a blast. We got it home and are loading it with gear ready for the weekend it's suppose to be 78 degrees on Lake Livingston so time to burn some fuel.
