    Default pontoon


    Sold my pontoon, 18ft bass buggy, this week. Bought it used in 2010 and took it to Fl. where it did not get used very much. Brought it back to NY for Son/gran kids and went from every week to so/so in a few years. Can't handle it by myself and actually prefer to fish out of 16 ft Alum. Going to take the money and sell some other items and buy a 40 to 50 hp electric start, tiller with TILT/TRIM to make fishing by myself easier. Have an 80's something 25 with out tilt/trim and a jon boat/15hp that I will sell to help finance new to me motor. Was going to buy new boat but wife says you are 67 years old and don't fish as often as you used to, plus prices are sky high right now. As usual she is right. Opinions?

    If you wait a year you'll probably be close to 68. Strike while the iron is hot or sell the gear. Now or never kind of thing here imo.

    If it is easy for you to launch and put back on the trailer you will use it more.

    I’d sell now buy next year.
    Sell at the top buy at the bottom. I’m thinking lots of toys will be on the market next year.
