I just bought a 20' kayot pontoon boat. 19" pontoons. Width of boat is just at 8'. Not much money, pretty good condition and super basic. I'm thrilled. Looking forward to working on it this winter and getting on the lake next summer. new carpet, bimini top, paint sides. I'm sure there are more but now I have 2 questions.
1st. I just measured inside to inside on my tires and they are only 32" apart. I didn't actually look but they are either 14 or 15" tires. I pulled it home and it seemed fine but am I going to have a problem with this thing tipping and scrapping the pontoons? What should I do?
2nd. It came with no motor. My only other post was concerning the 28 hp johnson motor I bought off craigs list. It seems by the response I got that this is maybe a good motor that can be dependable. My second question is what size motor would be a good fit for my pontoon boat and me? At this time I am not thinking that high speed is that important to me. Many years ago I spent a few years on an air craft carrier that hardly made a wake and it took me around the world a couple times.
Thanks a lot for helping me out.
