24' playtime 1985




trailer looks suspect to say the least, i'll have to get this thing home to hammond from MS gulf coast. anyone ever seen a set-up like that? it looks like the deck is just sitting on the trailer frame

any thoughts as to how stupid it would be to try and trailer it home? obviously i'd need to rework the trailer eventually, or get a new one

price on this thing is right though

I've been tentatively looking for a beat up pontoon boat to convert into a kayak mother ship.

Do you mind me asking how much you paid?

ETA: And holy shite that "trailer" looks dangerous.

I have never seen anything like that before.

I would pull it in the middle of the night when there is no traffic for it to hit when it inevitably comes off of the trailer.

Stripper pole looks a bit small but got to start somewhere.

I would worry it might crack the deck if you hit a bump and it was just metal on metal.

That would make one hell of a floating duck blind.

I see it's in the Pass. He says the trailer is in good shape, so yea, he's definitely high.

Unless I'm missing something, the trailer looks to be relatively new, it's just not built for a pontoon boat. Maybe you can sell the trailer to help pay for the new one.

The trailer frame look pretty good from what you can see of it. But I would be worried about the tires and bearings.

Here's some pics of another boat with that style trailer, it does look like it's carried by the deck.

Do the rod/reels come with it?

Are there wheels under there somewhere?

Looks just like the old propstop taxi boat that sank used to be a YouTube video of it sinking with about 15 people on it.. I wasn't on the boat when it went down. But I did see it first hand it was fassst!
