New to the forum and new to the Pontoon too. WE bought a 18' Bass Tracker with a 40 Mercury 4 stroke Big Foot. We have a cabin near Cowan Lake in southern Ohio, with a 9.9 limit. I looked for a boat with a 9.9 but couldn't find a nice one, so I settled for the 40 and we've been using a trolling motor on our lake. Well the electric is too slow for anything except fishing so I am adding a kicker. A Mercury 9.9 4 stroke. I am making the mount out of some scrap aluminum and a Garelick motor mount. I'll try to attach some pictures to a future post if anyone is interested.
I am looking forward to reading about your boats and getting answers to my questions as they come up

Welcome TeddyBob! I guess the plus side of a 9.9 HP limit lake, is that you won't have massive cabin cruisers ripping by at 40 MPH trying to flip your toon.
I guess if I was from KY, they'd call me BobChuck...

We hail from KY and honest to God, hired an excavating guy named JimBob Dick. Did a great job but I suspect I'll recall his name forever. I love KY!
