    Sold the toon and the prices are bonkers

    Purchased my pontoon new in 2012. Market was crappy back then. Sold it just now for more than I paid for it. The pontoon market is insane.

    Is this a fair trade?

    I bought a new PWC last year and with it, a new triton single place trailer. Well, I just bought a second machine so I need a two place. I can trade in my single place for a new double place plus about 1200 bucks (might be a little less). I have a friend with the opposite problem. He has a...

    Aluminum

    Hey guys, the reason that pontoons are made of aluminum and not steel are weight and rust. Aluminum does not rust, but it does corrode. The corrosion by-product is actually a protective layer to the metal. Steel in order to form a layer (called magnetite), it must go through a passivation...

    Anyone installed under water lighting? (Stern)

    I am looking to install some blue LED under water lights at the back of the pontoons. Anyone have any good ideas in regards to how to actually install to the aluminum pontoons? I would prefer to NOT drill any holes.

    Replacing Carpet with Vinyl

    The carpet on the bow of my pontoon has worn a lot more than the rest of the boat. Its i always exposed to the sun and gets beat up by the dog and sand. I am considering pulling just the carpet from the front platform and installing vinyl. Has anyone done this?

    Ski recommendation?

    We are all novices, but looking for a ski recommendation for a family with a few teens. I don't need to spend $1000....wondering if I can get anything worthwhile for under $200.

    2012 F115 with jumpy tach

    I have a pontoon with a yam F115, 2012. The tach is very jumpy but the actual engine toms does not change. Tapping the glass on the guage can either cause it to jump or stop it from jumping. Any tips on what I can do to fix?

    2012 F115 Tach "wondering" or bouncing

    Anyone know why a Tach needle would bounce around on its own or wonder and "hunt"? Any quick fix or something I can check? I have no reason to believe that the actual rpms are changing, just that the needle is moving.

    Finally found the right prop....I think.

    I know, prop talk and debate on a pontoon is a bit like arguing about which mini van is more areodynamic, but anyway....with toons getting more performance oriented and running bigger motors, prop dynamics is important to us too :) I have a 24' toon (that measures closer to 26') and it is...

    Prop Fiasco - Just can't seem to find the right one.

    Have a pontoon with a Yam F115. 2012. Toon came with a Yam alum 15P. Runs to aboput 6,100 rpms lightly loaded and 5500 with 10 people plus 3 on a tube. Thats about the heaviest load I see. 28 mph with a light load. Boat is nearly 26ft actual length. The alum prop does not grab that great...
