Is it possible to get something reliable for 4-5k? I don't want something that is going to break down every other time I use it. Also, what are some of the better brands to look for?

I can see you cruising down Bayou DeSaird in this in that purple and gold speedo you always talk about.

Why are these things so expensive? It's his a couple pontoons, a floor and a small motor with some seats on top.

I have had friends that have bought used pontoon boats in your range and been satisfied. They certainly weren't the newest or nicest but they ran and got them out on the water.

Went into a gas station and some lady tries to sell me a Pontoon Boat for 13.5K with only 10 hours on the motor.

Didn't ask anymore details since I wasn't interested.

My in-laws just gave me and SO a pontoon boat, but it needs new seats and console. I am going to replace those in the next few weeks. I really don't know if I want to keep it or sell it.

My father inlaw has one. It a lowe brand and is like 24 feet long. It has a 90 hp motor. It would need a tune up and some work on the console's. He has some new consoles for it but has not installed it. It has been sitting up for 3 years under a shed at the camp. He will let it go and I think someone could get a good deal on it. If you want to know more email me at barbosteve@yahoo.com
