New Guy, SW Minnesota

#1 Post by Tomhusker » Thu Oct 13, 2016 7:36 pm

Hi folks,
Just checking in and introducing myself.
I'm a first time pontoon owner. I'm currently restoring a 1983 20' Kayot and 40hp Mercury. I've never done anything like this so I figured I'd sign up and hopefully pick the brains of people with experience with this style.
I have rebuilt the trailer, replacing springs, bearings, axle, tires, lighting and crank jack.
When we do the deck and furniture it will be set up for fishing. That will have to wait for spring as I don't have a garage big enough and cooler weather is coming on.
No worries tho, I have lots to learn, and lots to buy, so I can use the extra time.
