Awesome build! You're going to love your new Benni! Welcome to the forum!

If you're still looking, I went with this (https://pontoonloader.com) and am very happy. It works great, especially in windy wavy weather.

June 2016 Yamaha F200, 0 hours...September 4th, 2017 158.4 hours.  I believe my motor runs better this year than last.  They are great motors!

Flashlight addiction...been there myself!!

I too was questioning the horsepower and dreading, but not regretting, spending the extra money on a larger motor.  I know if I would have went with the smaller motor, I would have been kicking myself over it.  Now that the money is spent and we're on the lake, thankfully we aren't trying to...

We've washed, splashed, been out in major storms, but so far there hasn't been enough water for the bilge to pump.   Beautiful boat!  Can you please post another view of the rear loungers?  

How much of the rear toons did you polish?  Do you have any images of the rear?

I like to cruise around 20 mph.  It gives us a good breeze, perfect RPM for fuel efficiency, fast enough to tackle normal waves and the engine isn't too loud for talking and moving about the boat.  

MrBoo, how did you jack up your toons?  I'm getting ready to polish mine and would prefer to get the whole toon if possible.

I'm still procrastinating, but will polish my toons by the end of August.  (Now I have a deadline, so I'll be sure to get it done.) Question:  I don't have a way to get my boat off the trailer to get the full pontoon polished.  For those who've polished their own toons, are they polished all...

I'm still jealous.  I have the tools, but after hearing how much pain is involved with the work, both during, and the after effects, I'm still procrastinating.  ...but just looking at those is an inspiration.   I wish it wasn't close to 100 degrees here...but then again, what's good...

Howdy!  We live around Charlotte, NC and have been hearing tells of this secret lake paradise called Lake Jocassee in SC.  I believe the boat access is in Devil's Fork state park.  http://www.southcarolinaparks.com/devilsfork/introduction.aspx   It's not a bad drive for us to do a day...

I used to float it on, but that was because I have a wonderful boat ramp.  At night by myself, pushing the boat from the dock and running to catch it at the launch wasn't the smoothest operation.  I finally bit the bullet and bought a loader from 4C Innovations.  Not cheap, but MUCH nicer than...

That's what we use and everyone at our lake spots always compliment us on it.  Besides the look and build, it even cooks great!  My only regret is I bought the bigger size.  It works fantastic, but when we have floats and tubes, the smaller profile Q would be a better fit.  I also suggest...

I agree, biggest issue is making sure to leave the access open when in storage.  We've not had to run our bilge much; however, I've opened the door to some major stinkage. (I caused that by throwing wet floats and life jackets in and forgetting about them.)   By simply leaving the door open when...
