I suppose that could be the case, but after 7 days of sitting/not moving I'm thinking it could be the hull(s).

Might be a dumb question but I can't seem to find much info online. My toon spends it's time away from the water covered on a trailer.  Seems as though each night I can hear one, sometimes 2 loud popping noises.   I'm assuming this is normal from the heating/cooling of the log, but want to...

We are!  Just took the new boat out for the first time.   Stopped in at Boondocks and there were 2 more there as well.

Woke up to re-read my post and learn I can't spell :unsure:   (comman?). I may just move them over and avoid making another hole in the deck.   I can bend up an aluminum cover to make better use of that area (flat floor)

Here is what I'm working with.  I figured there would be a lot more usable room if I move these to under the seat.  Power pole is a somewhat comman anchor used for shallow water.  It's basically a pole that is hydraulically deployed into the sand to anchor the boat.   Pretty useful around there...

Hi everyone!  Just came home with my first boat, a 2014 22ssx.  The previous owner (of 29 hours) had a second battery, batt switch, and power pole installed on the boat.   He/she didn't really care about the changing room as the batteries are mounting in the way as well as the pump for the power...

Read the entire thread and have a few questions First, how did PDX attach the aluminum angle?  - found it, VHB tape Post #129. My plan is to have 2 strips (5m) run from the middle of the boat fore/aft.  Will obviously trim the strips to length but it seems better to have a balanced load. I'm...

Thanks for the advice everyone!   I put in an offer and it was accepted.  Just waiting now until Monday to have the check cut and should be on the water this coming weekend :) Tooner - Yessir, that is the dealer.  You are also correct, 115hp is the max on that hull. We will have to buy vests...

Unfortunately the previous owner has some serious health issues and is trying to unload any debts he has before the inevitable happens.  I frigging hate C and wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I did ask the dealer about upgrading to a 150 but have not heard back.  Thought I had read...

I hear you, and I appreciate the heads up/education. It's why I took to google/net in the first place as I know there are always a ton of things you learn afterwards.  First house, first car, etc.   I know there will still be more to learn but I'm hoping to eliminate as much as I can.   :)

They are, they sold the boat originally.  It's on the invoice as well.

1.  Are you going to fish? 2.  Do you plan on tubing with your kids? 3.  How long are you planning on keeping it before trading it in? 4.  How rough is the water you will be boating in and how big is the body of water? 5.  When you take out adults, how many are you talking about? Best I...

Hello everyone! I have been looking for a way to get the family out of the water and think I've found the solution with a pontoon boat. Young family of 4, all the kids are 8 and younger. We wanted space, smooth ride, and the ability to take some of our friends out (the adults?) As well...
