All,
Preparing to purchase our first pontoon. Just the missus and me and our (2) 70 pound dogs. We live full time on the lake (55000 acres) and the boat will stay in our covered slip year round except for cleaning and service. We mostly just putt around with friends and take an occasional 60 mile round trip to show the lake when we have company. While we're not speed freaks, we would like to be able to get up and go when we're trying to beat a storm home. My inner geek likes the idea of hooking into the Yamaha electronics and displaying engine data/virtual gauges on an NMEA2000 compatible device, but it appears that will have to be aftermarket. Have the following configuration in mind. Would appreciate hearing any comments/recommendations/voices of experience. Am especially interested in fuel consumption from anyone who has this configuration. Thanks in advance!
22SL/SLX
Regatta Blue/Blue Bimini/Sandstone/No accent/No Graphic/Standard Furniture
Full vinyl floor (dogs and red clay)
Upgraded 'G' captains chair
Extended Bow
Extended Aft deck
SPS
150 Yamaha
Hydraulic steering/tilt
Floor storage
Dual Battery (dealer installed)
3 step ladder
Echo 100
Kicker speaker upgrade
Sony Bluetooth stereo
Half Camper (for wintertime use)
SS Docking lights
Sharkhide
Ski tow bar
