Hi from SW Florida!

#1 Post by magikat » Mon Jul 13, 2009 2:32 am

Hello everybody, This looks like the place to be.

Still looking to buy our first toon. We have had a lot of different kinds of boats in the past and was never satisifed with any of them. I really think a toon is what we need. We like to fish and our 3 dogs have to go out with us.

Right now we're going to look at a 2007 Suntracker party barge 18. Would like any opions on this toon. Looking forward to some great days on the water.

Greetings!!!!!!!!!! Glad you found the place, lots of good information.

We had fishing and ski boats before the pontoon, the wife NEVER liked any of them, now she pesters me all the time about going out on the pontoon. Sounds like for what you describe you will fit a pontoon just perfect also.

The Tracker boats are a decent line, the company seems to be stable in today's economy so that is a plus.

Welcome, pontoons are a great option... Stable and roomy and plenty of power if you want it! Good luck...

Welcome, guess you know there are models for fishing. Think you will love the toon. I wouldn't go back to the bowrider. Just like the fact I can get up and walk around if I chose to.

ImageYou might want to go a little bigger than the 18, you didn't say what water you'll be on, but if the water is big and kicking you need as least a 22.
