    Saltwater Pontoons

    I know that I/O's have saltwater versions but what about pontoon boats themselves? Is different decking or hardware recommended or used? I'm wanting to buy a pontoon to use in the Pamlico Sound. It's windy there and the weather can change quickly, is a pontoon a poor choice for that...

    creek fishing

    Do any of you fish creeks in your pontoon? The closest local lake for me is Caesar Creek State Park, about 30 minutes up I-71 from me. It's the lake we usually go to with our pontoon. You can find it here. This spring with all of the rain and flooding we've had I went ahead and bought a...

    Pontoons on the inland sea

    DW and I are considering a trip to Port Clinton this summer. We'd probably be staying in Sandusky Bay off of Lake Erie, it appears to be fairly sheltered. We'll be out sometime midsummer in our 2010 20' Suntracker pontoon with a 90HP OB. I've never done anything bigger with the pontoon...

    Lake Erie for Dummies.....

    We are considering taking a trip to Port Clinton, Ohio this summer, something we never have done. We are new boat owners as of June 2010 and own a 20' Suntracker pontoon with a 90HP OB. We've never had the pontoon out on anything bigger than the small inland lakes in SW Ohio. Sandusky Bay...

    Question for the Pontoon Fisherman

    I'm going to buy a trolling motor for my 2010 PB20 and have a question for the pontoon fishermen here. Do you use a 12V or 24V trolling motor and why? The sales are starting and I don't want to have any buyers remorse! TIA Mr Crabbs

    Anchor Windlass for Pontoon

    I want to get my anchor line off of the cord winder for next season. I've looked at powered anchor winches and am not impressed. The reviews are so-so with some complaints on quality, power consumption, line capacity and cost. I'm OK with a manual windlass and have considered using a trailer...

    Cave Run Lake, Kentucky

    I've never been there, what can you tell me? I searched the forums here and came up empty. What are the ramps like, I have a 20' pontoon. Any campgrounds nearby with FHU? Any good restaurants or other sites to see there? How about fishing, I read that muskie are supposed to be there and I'd...

    Going Solo at the Ramp

    Has anyone loaded their boat at the ramp solo (or tried)? I'm a bachelor this week and have a chance to get out early and fish. Getting off the trailer is easy enough (the ramp isn't busy) but I've never docked and loaded by myself. I'm thinking it shouldn't be a big deal, but want to hear...

    Fun at the Ramp

    Now, this isn't a rant, just a funny look at the antics at the ramp yesterday. :) I'm very new to this so I pay close attention Six of us go out to Caeser Creek Lake yesterday, about 1:00. The lake is a small one, less than 3000 acres and has five locations you can put your boat in. The...

    The Best and Worst Day of My Life......

    was when I bought (or sold) my boat. We picked it up yesterday, plan on being in the water Thursday and Friday. We should have the motor broken in by the weekend! I'll update with a better pic in the water, right now our yard is looking like an adult toy parking lot! :eek:

    Boat Ramps and your 'Toon

    We are soon to be first time boat owners :D. DW and I are picking up our new Suntracker PB20 on Thursday and we plan on taking it out on our shakedown cruise on Friday. We're not going to waste any time! Yesterday we went and watched the boat ramps at a nearby state park where we plan to do...
