Bought this little 'toon to keep in my pond about a year ago. Been fixing it up a little at a time. It has twin Minn-kota trolling motors fixed on a tilt bracket that is hooked up to the steering cable so you steer it just like an outboard. The toon is 16' long and 6' wide. I cannot find a capacity plate on it anywhere and was wondering if anyone here may know anything about these. I would like to know what size motor it is rated for and the weight capacity. Here is a pic of it with 2 of my sons fishing.

Re: Godfrey "Sea Ryder" pontoon

I have a 95 model almost just like yours same color but not as new as yours. Mine has a 25 horse Yamaha motor on it. The capacity says 3 persons 790 lbs. limit but cant read anything else on it. Hope this helps. I am wanting to find a canopy cover to replace mine it has seen its better days. Would anyone know where I might find one.

I have recently aquired a trailer for mine and pulled the electric motors off to go with a 25hp Johnson. I am currently doing a little painting on the railing and am going to polish the toons in the next couple weeks. My Dad who just turned 70 has fell in love with this little boat and wants to make it into his "fishing" boat so I am fixing it up for him to use. By the way, I don't know what year model mine is but the last time it was registered was in 97. By the way if you find a top let me know because i'll be looking for one of those too.
