Thought I'd show off my old Pontoon that I got early this spring. The work I would like to do is not done but I think I have a good start. Here are a few pics, any suggestions will be appreciated.

The logo "Semper Fi" is not on it yet, but will be as soon as I decide on the font and color I want.

This is the 24 volt Minnkota on the bow with battery boxes, note the 50 amp breaker above the boxes. There is a Minnkota onboard battery charger attached, it is just inside the rail behind the batteries under one of the seats.

This is the drivers seat, soon to be remodeled into a single seat with a large bait/livewell below. (If I can catch the wife not looking) It's wasted space right now, my butts big, maybe even huge.....but it ain't that huge.

This is a shot of the console looking towards the back of the boat. The Lowrance 332c is mounted on a RAM gimbal mount so I can see it easily from anywhere in the boat. The blue box on the left is old ice cube tray that I mounted on top of the console as a catch-all for my more important items......needle nose, Fiskars scissors, Cigs & lighter, grubs, beer caps, sun glasses, etc. The PVC pipe is the temporary mounting for the GPS receiver, depending if I have the bimini top up or down determines where I place the receiver. If I had my choice, the couch in the back would disappear and there would be two downriggers instead. But then I would probably lose the boat in the divorce that would take place.

This is my setup for my starter and auxilliary battery complete with selector switch and onboard charger. Note the duct tape on the positive posts....Illinois law maintains you must cover one of the posts on each battery. Yawn...

Here is the transducer mount on the front of the toon, so I can see what I'm getting ready to hit rather than what I already hit. I have a second transducer on the back of the left pontoon to see all the fish I didn't catch.
