    Poly tube

    I look at it this way.... None of the higher end performance pontoon boats have them..... That's good enough reason for me not to consider it

    2014 supreme 21s

    It's bolted and caulked down. Reach under the gunwale, unplug the tower, unbolt the tower. Or because the tower is designed to be below DOT limit and the gunwale is beafed up with al aluminum plate in the cap. The boat and tower are structurally secure (as it's a tow tower). Just leave it up

    So I became a proud boat owner today.

    Go to a boat show. Price out a new boat. Then determine if it's easier to spend money to restore or to buy new. BOATing is an expensive hobby

    I just got this rope and it has some frays.. Think it's OK to use??

    Use a lighter and melt the fray, then go skiing. When it breaks, make another knot/eye splice That appears to be polypropylene line and not nylon
