    transom mount trolling motor

    Got a 20 ft pontoon that I replaced the decking and carpet on this winter to use as a dock on our 4.5 acre pit.

    Resurfacing marine plywood decking

    Having to replace the carpeting on a 1990 pontoon that has it for quite a while. The surface of the decking is peeling up on a couple of sheets, BUT the floor is not week. Can this decking be resurfaced or should I just bite the bullet and replace the plywood? I'm really not wanting to...

    1991 Playcraft pontoon restoration

    I recently bought this pontoon as a project and am in the process of removing everything from the deck so I can replace plywood and carpeting. All the furniture as well as the helm console were totally trashed but had the helm and the steering wheel that I got out of the console. How do I...
