Heard from my ice fishing neighbor, 7" out there on the lake. My living room is within legal distance to put tip ups out in 12'15' of water. I can sit on the couch by the fireplace watch the game and fish at the same time.
Over the weekend 38 ice fishermen had to be rescued when a chunk of ice broke off on Red Lake in Northern MN. Yesterday a chucklehead thought he would land his plane on the same lake, yeah it broke thru the ice.
I have a heck of a co ownership deal. I bought it, I pay for service, most of the fuel and upkeep and I rarely use it. Great deal for my grown kids. I kid that is the reason I have toys to draw the kids and grandkids.They are much easier to deal with than other another ":partner"
What are you willing to pay, what does the interior look like? Condition and compression of the motor, all important to the value of a 17 year old pontoon.
