It's getting close to when we'll get our 22 SFX Tri-toon and I'm nervous about having everything we need when it gets here! Never owned a pontoon so not sure how HIGH it is off the water! Been reading a lot on here and learning a lot too!
Example: We're convinced by reading this forum that the Slide Box Anchor (probably the "small" size) is a great idea and then also read how the 3/8" twisted nylon anchor rope works best (never would have even guessed this)! Prime example how valuable this forum is!

If you could give me advice on a few more items:
Q) How long should a twisted anchor rope be? (love the idea of marking at every 10 ft!)
Q) What about for dock ropes, twisted or braided rope?? What lengths?
Q) Where's a good place to buy rope?
Q) Paddles & fishing net: how long should the handles reach (when extended)?
Q) What dock hook do you use?
Q) If you bring your own gas, what size cans is easy to manage? We'll have a short walk from vehicle to dock. We've seen gas tanks on dolly like wheels and a squeeze handle but the reviews didn't seem all that great. Then if we get the "Super Siphon" is that all we'll need (besides additive)?(we think you fill it behind the fishing console next to the motor, but not sure? It's definitely not under the floor as I've read about on the forum). http://www.amazon.com/DuraMax-Fluid-Transfer-14-Gallon-Rolling/dp/B000MT94QA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398019450&sr=8-1&keywords=gas+caddy+with+pump
