We need some before/after pics to make sure it was a good job!

Watch out for your comments on offshores on inland lakes.........there is a very sensitive Gladiator owner that has never put the boat in salt water before!

Ok, I had a few beers with the boys and got to thinking. Yup, pontoons are a foolish waste of time. Just plain ridiculous sitting out there in all your furniture and all. Old fat drunken bastards ya know!

The market for the older classic thunderboats is pretty strong and there are a lot of resto's going on . in the newer go fast used market there seem to be some good buys on the 24-30 foot vee bottom a lot of bang for the buck. I have seen 27 fountains and formulas very clean low hours early to mid 2000's model years for 30k-50k that doesn't help the new market either.

You think pontoon owners are people too lazy to learn how to sail??
