    Adding (welding) an second transducer bracket to the back of toon?

    Just had a second bracket welded to mine so I could add another anode. No issues. I did worry about it at first until the boat yard owner told me that the welder has done several over the last 10 years for him.

    Bottom Paint almost complete

    No, that guy would be me. I need to look up Shrkhide and see what the advantages are.

    Bottom Paint almost complete

    The boat yard is almost finished with the bottom paint on my pontoon boat. A couple of more coats and it will be complete. I'll probably loose a little of speed but I won't have to worry about a big build up of marine growth. It was amazing how much growth was on the pontoons only after 2 weeks...

    Preparing for bottom paint

    I sure will. Biggest worry now in the approaching hurricane. You never know what to expect from them.

    Preparing for bottom paint

    I’m hoping there won’t be any damage. My boat works person is very knowledgeable and has done s lot of theses. If it did hurt the boat he would make the repairs. psirs.

    Great Evening!!

    First cruise with just me and my wife minus the grandkids. What a relaxing evening. I'm new to the pontoon world but what a great way to cruise the river. My old boat was a 1940 32 ft cypress boat that we used to cruise the river on. It was a nice boat but a lot of work to guide down the river...

    It takes a lot of guts!

    Today was install day for my 2012 20sl. I finally got the nerve up to do a Lowrance Hook 5 console install. I took my time and made sure each cut was accurate. In the end the unit installed perfectly. Also installed new transducer, magnesium anode, ezfinder bumper clamps, and battery tender. It...

    70 HP / 20 Sl Power Question

    Thanks. That will work. Looks like I need to change props. I’m trying to get a little more speed so pull the grandkids on a tube. Hopefully I can find the right size so I don’t lose too much low end power when I’m loaded down.

    Lighting Question

    There is no deck lighting that came on my boat. When I come in from an evening cruise it is very dark at my boat slip. I noticed that the newer models have a dome light on the helm console. Is that enough light to negotiate unpacking the boat late in the evening. If so, I think I will order the...

    70 HP / 20 Sl Power Question

    I just bought my 2012 Bennington 20sl with a 70 HP Yamaha. I took it out the other day for the first time with 7 passengers and it only ran 13 knots.Today I took it out by myself and it ran 16 knots with adjusted trim. The only problem I could see it that it only got to 4400 rpm at full...

    Privacy Curtain Install

    The privacy curtain for my boat came in today and I installed it. It fit perfectly and looks like some good workmanship's put into the fabrication. I didn't realize that it would snap into place but every snap matched. After installation it looked great. So glad to have this on the boat now. My...
