    Pontoon Hardtop

    Thank You! Thank You! Your post has helped so much! I've had many ideas about my hard top design and you have to think and re-think all of them to make sure you've got the one that's going to work. I will definitely be re-thinking my design and probably be using some of your design on my top. Do...

    Pontoon Hardtop

    An insulated roof will keep the metal roof from radiating the heat down. I'll be using white colored roof sheeting to reflect the rays. Very good point on the vibration! I'll add that to the todo list. There are many 105+ degree days on the lake. You can't get low enough in the boat when the...

    Pontoon Hardtop

    I've changed my mind. I'm going to make it a permanently up hard top. I'm using (1") dia. aluminum tubes on the roof (low gable). Probably (2') o.c. trusses. I'll have small gussets at all hinged points (posts to roof). I too will be skinning with light weight RV skin, roof and ceiling. I'm...

    Your comment is interesting about leaving it up, not to be lowered. I'm looking at that. Thanks

    Pontoon Hardtop

    Somewhat. It's hot when the fishing is good. I'll insulate the top, (1") closed cell, with canvas sides.

    Pontoon Hardtop

    I want to eliminate the (2) bimini tops on my pontoon and go with a hardtop, (7'-4" x 18'-4"). I have a (23') Tri Toon w/ (2) biminis that zip together. I live in southern Arizona and the hot sun penetrates right through a bimini. I've customized (1) 16' pontoon and (2) (16') hulled boats w/...

    Hexatoon vs. Pontoon

    I just bought a 95 Ercoa 23' Tri- Hexatoons . Looks space age compared to a round toon. The Hexatoon is (28') dia. Anybody have any experience or reviews of the Hexatoon? The company brochure says it's (30%) larger and with a flat bottom, more buoyancy compared to a (19") dia. round toon...

    Replacing Power Steering Pump 3.0 Mercrusier

    I need to replace mine. Doesn't look that complicated. $650.00 and up, for a pump located through a marine parts store. A local boat shop wants $1,200.00, parts and labor. Saw a youtuber bought a pump at a car parts store, $65.00 +/-. He did the install and It worked. His theory is, if it lasts...

    Vinyl Flooring

    Thank you MRS, I'm familiar with Amazon, Google and many more online shopping locations. I'm looking for pontoon owners who have actually installed vinyl and what they think of the product and how it turned out.

    Good Evening! I've been looking for a project pontoon for awhile. It happened fast today, I bought my project boat. I've never heard of this boat and when I went to look at it I was pleasantly surprised. It was everything I wanted and then some. Can't wait to get started. Any information about...
