    I have seen on here (I believe) a chart that shows approximate speed you can expect from a pontoon based on HP. Can someone repost that chart? TIA, Don

    Floating splash pads

    Does any one know what those "New Fangled" floating pad that everyone is using these days is made of? I know its a Closed cell foam but that needs narrowing down too. Also a source for the material? Wife and others would like to have one but I don't want to pay $400 plus for a small one if I...

    Removable Transducer Mount

    Hello all. My son just gave me a real nice Lowrance depth/fish finder. I currently have a low end model mostly for keeping an eye on depth while moving. I would like to leave that as is with the transducer mounted on the rear of my left log. I would also like to buy or fab up a removable...

    Mercury 90 Fourstroke not charging all the time.

    I have a 2005 Mercury 90hp fourstroke carbed engine. Had it out this weekend and checked charging gauge and it showed 12V. It normally reads 14V and was the day before. Later I fired up and headed out it was reading 12V, then went to 13V, and moved up to the 14V like normal. Is this a...

    Looking at adding a 3rd Toon.

    I have a 24' Fisher pontoon and ran across a friend that has some 24' pontoons for sale. That got me thinking... Why not at a third toon to my boat and hopefully increase the performance and buoyance at the same time. I'm running a Mercury 90hp fourstroke. So I'm thinking the increased speed...

    Hello all, Just curious if anyone can point me what to look for. We were out last weekend and pulled up on a beach. Tilted engine up a bit to avoid possible grounding but lower unit was still in water. When I went to fire up and go for a ride... Engine would only spit and "try" to run...

    Keeping Toons clean...

    Hello folks.... I have this idea and want to bounce it off some of you more experienced folks here. On another forum for RVs they suggest using a floor covering acrylic (Red Max Pro, or Zep Wet Look) to keep an RV shiny and easy to clean. IT WORKS! I did this about a year ago before taking...

    Steering Wheel orientation

    Hello all, I had our new to us 2005 Fisher 240 freedom out on the river this past weekend. I noticed when going straight, the steering wheel is upside down. I also noticed pics of a similar boat for sale that appeared to be the same way. Is this normal? I have not noticed that it will...
