Why’’d you choose 16 ft. My minimum was really 20 ft. But I settled for 18. If it was gonna be a big’ol pontoon, figured bigger the better!

I brought one home last night. A 20 foot G3. Motor has some wiring issues to be sorted out

You did good Slab as a pontoon is a versatile boat you can do about anything on. when the crappie are biting you can have everyone all around plus you can pull cranks or jigs easily enough. 18 foot is a great size and if the floor was redone in vinyl already? Sweet as redoing upholstery is much easier and cheaper. Bummer that it has a 2 cycle but if it runs well will be fine.

I have a 21 foot Lowe with 60 HP 4 stroke mercury on it and love it. It is a fishing pontoon that I bought thru CDC ad from a member. has livewell, TM's and useless electric anchors that stopped working. have caught a lot of fish on it but last couple years mostly do sunset cruises or just hanging out after dark and visiting with neighbors. Do most of my ketchn on docks there. couple times a year grandkids come and want ot be pulled around on tubes but now have a deal with a bigger motor to do that for them. but they love to just hang around on it, get on lillypad and play. of course we are the cool grandparents with the toys the kids want to play with.

Yep, gotta be the cool gpa. Yep, I think it'll be fun. Shade, seats, stable. And I am still working on that 100hp 4 stroke which might could go on it, dono!

Motor idles extremely high, nothing electrical on the boat works. Trailer wiring in shambles and does not work. Guess the price.
