i've come to realize i love boat riding, playing in the water, and beer drinking more than fishing.
looking into a USED pontoon boat, 22' or so with a something to pull knee boards.Suggestions?

I don't have any experience with them but as my family grows they are becoming a more attractive option. I fish protected waters and it would be nice to let the rug rats loose while i drink beer and drown a dead shrimp. I am interested in this as well.

If you are going to get one get a bad arse one. And if want one that will pull skiers and tubes, this company makes ones more than capable.

Used party barges in good shape are tough to find. Try Premier Marine, they get a lot of trade ins. I'd recommend getting a triple toon with lifting strakes. Both features make a big difference in performance.

+1 on the Soutbay. Parents just bought a 27' with a 250, it's bad arse.

Whats your budget? We had a 25ft with a 90 on it. slow as shite but it could pull kids on wakeboards and tubes... I dont think it would have pulled an adult.

budget, about 10k. i don't hang with the Trumps so something moderate to go party with, drop anchor and drink in waste deep water. Looked at Primeir Marines web site. had a few decent ones that where sold.
