I have owned a Gibson houseboat for several years and sold it last week. Immediately turned around and purchased a 2575 RCW with Yamaha 250 VMax SHO and ESP package. The dealer is retrofitting a double Bimini for me and it will be ready for its maiden voyage on the Tennessee River (Pickwick) next weekend. Never owned a pontoon boat before. Two questions:
1. Can I run the boat at full speed with both Bimini tops down? Or should I stow them first?
2. My Gibson did not have a windlass so I would tie off the anchor to a deck cleat. I would then use the engines and the boat hull to dislodge the anchor from the muddy bottom. Can I do the same with my Bennie? How do you anchor?
