Today I got a pontoon boat. It’s a 2004 18’ Sun Tracker Bass Buggy. The motor is a 50hp Tracker. It has a 80lb. thrust trolling motor on it. Thinking about upgrading to a 75hp motor. I’ll post pics tomorrow.

Nice.  A lot of fun can be had on those but remember that safety is still a factor that needs to be adhered to.  I wish I had one to pull all the nieces and nephews around on a tube.  Enjoy it!

Put a bbq on it and you have the ulitmate bass fishing machine.  Have fun and enjoy.

I have a pontoon and they are great.  You will enjoy it.  I have a 75hp Mariner w/tilt trim if you aren’t planning on buying brand new.  Where to you live?

Great fishing boat.  Looks like fun.

Interested to why your swim latter goes below the pontoons? Hit a log and that swim latter will rip the hell out of your railing.

Nice !! Some of those pontoons are nicer than my first apartment almost 40 years ago !!!!

Enjoy.

I was thinking the same thing.  Plus it will create a lot of drag when the boat is moving.  That’s odd.

the ladder is folded down.

Oh okay, so it lays flat on the deck then? That makes a lot more sense.
