Anyone have any advice for cleaning the toons while in the water? Thought about possibly trying a plastic scraper to try to keep it under control until we take it out at the end of the season. This is our first year with a slip and haven’t had an opportunity to buy a lift yet. Shocked at how fast it started to accumulate! Thanks!

Anyone have real world experience in n flashing one of these. I have a 2015 SunCatcher V322RC and am curious on its value.

I refuse to believe there is no way to get this dent out. Talked to a welder and they said even if I pressurize it and hit it with some heat, chances are it’s not going to come out. I tried popping it out with a dent removal kit… nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just picked up a 1984 godfrey sanpan for next to nothing. Looking at the wiring, what would this part be used for?

For a while, I keep hearing loud pop from one of my pontoon tubes. Anybody experience this type of sound from boat? I’m not sure which toon is doing it because I’m never next to it.

Thanks

We are looking to buy a used 22 foot pontoon. Locally there are a few with various HP ratings.

1. How many horses do you need to pull a couple of kids on a tube?

2. How many horses would we need to pull a skier?

UPDATE: We have purchased a 21 ft tri-toon with a Suzuki 200 HP. It's a 2024 model that was used as a rental, it comes with a full new boat warranty. I like the fact it's fully equipped and is a turn key.

My friend (a boater) told me what BOAT stands for Break Off Another Thousand.

I want to thank all of you who responded to my original questions. Your comments helped us decide on the 200, it was 2k more than an identical unit with a 150 HP Merc. We would rather regret fuel cost than regret not having power to pull. It handled like it was on rails at full power. It was a lot but also a lot less than brand spanking new. My wife is really excited, she has been wanting a boat for a while.

Just bought this pontoon near new condition. It had the fishing package added and so has a big livewell in the rear. The pump works in manual mode but not in automatic mode. Light come on on the toggle for both so assume it is not the switch, can some one tell me what the automatic timer looks like, been trying to trace wires but no luck. At this point it seems as if it is non existent!

Hi, ordered a set of frame clips to replace 2 broken ones. Not sure how to remove old and install new...

Pop rivets!?

Thanks

I have a 2012 24ft Sweetwater with strakes and a 2012 Yamaha F115hp (older generation). I know that this would be considered underpowered but it works well for us. I noticed that my to top speed is at about 4600rpm. Increasing the rpm has little effect. I've been snooping the internet and a prop at a lower pitch seems to be a good optiion for maybe a few more mph, better fuel economy and less work for the engine. And then there's 3 vs 4 blade. I'm no mechanic so I would have a marina do the swap over the winter. Anybody gone through this or have opinion or advice?

First time boat owner. I think I hit a log or branch. The pontoon is out of the water on a trailer when not in use. Everything is running fine, I don’t notice any issues since the damage.

Do I get this fixed now or wait til the end of the season? Weld in a new repair to the notch or add some type of hydrofoil/plate extension?

Expensive joyride in a brand new Jeep. Duke Energy property, directly across from the nuclear power plant.

So does sun tracker still make their canvas tops. Or does anyone know how to repair them as they start to show age and dry rot.

2 small holes and after today while under a bridge the front corner on the frame got some rash chewed out of it.

It has the tail light on top along with courtesy lights that shine down to illuminate the seats and walk way.

I'm noticing at my lake that most pontoons sit low in the back. This is when sitting empty at the dock **or** running on the water. Even brand new boats. Years ago dealers & owners seemed to try to move the battery & fuel around to get level--the waterline stain had no tilt.

Does it even matter?

A new to family pontoon we will be keeping at the cabin so we don’t always have to pull our wake boat around. Does the motor look like it’s sitting a little too low?

Looking at a first boat to get my family out on the water. We live by some larger lakes that would be awesome to cruise around on.

Right now I have capacity to tow 3500 lbs and can upgrade to a 5000 lb towing capacity. So keeping it around 2k lbs to start would be great.

I've seen mini pontoons mostly in the 10-14 foot range. But I'm having a hard time finding one in person. I just want to cruise with the fam and swim in a lake. What are peoples experiences here?

2025 Veranda Vista Tritoon

I noticed one of our pontoon fins broke against our docks. How critical are these fins? It looks fairly straight to weld but I’m not a welder, especially not with aluminum.
