Hey there, New pontoon owner

[arod2012]

Hello, I just traded my ski boat for a pontoon. Kids are more interested in jumping off and swiming than skiing and tubing. Just wanted to drop by and say Hi, A few members here have already helped with a few questions about the motor. There seems to be a ton of great info and people on this site. I am looking forward to realxing on the pontoon as much as possible.

Re: Hey there, New pontoon owner

As a New Toon owner I need advice retrieving boat onto my trailer. Launching my 22' in a shallow water boat launch was tough. Wish I knew about the silcone spray when launching for the first time. Walking a 600 lb. Wolverine trailer into a weed filled mucky channel in cold Wisconsin lake water for retrieval will be as much a nightmare as it was for launching that took three people. I have thought about an extended receiver so my van's rear wheels don't get stuck this time. Any suggestions and experience using an extended receiver or other ideas are welcome.

You might want to start a new thread with your questions so you get some responses.

Not sure of my 85 Kayo can compete with all of these nice Pontoons. (like yours),

Thanks, but yeah, not a contest. Folks just like to see what you have. Like pics of kids, no one has the best!
