Lots of replies that I feel like are missing my question. For staff just tying my boat up to eat at the restaurant and how much to tip them for only doing this is my question. Thanks all

How much does everyone tip dock staff for mooring at a restaurant? Do you tip once for the trip, or when you arrive and again when you depart? I visit small lake bar/restaurants in the Midwestern US with my pontoon and have no idea what the etiquette is. The dock staff are mooring two points...

I want to lift my SX21 onto some dollies so I can fit it into my garage for winter storage. Any ideas for how I can do this besides spending $2k on something like gohoist.com? I don't even know if the boat will fit in my garage with my truck, so I'm looking for a solution that I can at least...

After all the research I've done at this point I've got my target set on a use / offlease Yukon or a Tahoe with a 5.3 l V8 with 4wd and the max trailering package. The boat dealer told me the pontoon plus engine and trailer dry weight is just over 2,900 lb so I feel like with this size of...

I'm looking at the Tahoe and Yukon's with the 5.3l v8. The Max Trailering Package appears to be not very common in available dealer inventory, in general. Considering the 3k lb dry weight of my pontoon, trailer, motor, I'm trying to figure out if the Max Trailering Package should be a deal...

For reference, my model is not a tritoon.

Looking for a SUV with room for at least 6 passengers, so trucks are not an option for me.

First time pontoon owner and I need help selecting a properly sized SUV for a new 21-ft SLX with a pair of 25" tubes and a Yamaha 115. I don't have any experience towing anything of the size, nor do I have any time behind a anything other than a smaller SUV like a RAV4. Dealer says dry weight...

Thank you!

Aren't the 20 footers max rating 90hp?

A salesperson tried to explain to me that the difference in the 75 versus the 90 is only a couple miles per hour and that it's really just marketing in regards to why people end up buying the 90. It seems pretty clear to me that this is not accurate and that if I want to be able to call a couple...

I'm really struggling to find any results to help me determine if I should put a 75 or 90 hp engine on a 20ft pontoon. Any advise besides more is always better? :)
