Hi from Louisville!

Good afternoon everyone. I have owned several boats in the past including a 22 foot Sweetwater I bought used. Had the big/bad Cobalt runabout that I loved for many years and now planning for a pontoon. I just want to learn all I can about the different products available and be an informed buyer when I'm ready. My wife and I are going to be buying a place in a year or so on Nolin Lake in Kentucky (at least that's the plan now!). We'll want a nice pontoon. Looking to learn most of all and thanks in advance. Glad to be here. Steve

Lots of good choices whether you're looking for a pontoon or a tri-toon.. everything from Bennington, Harris, G3, Tracker... and the list goes on and on.... have fun shopping and again, welcome to the club.

Welcome! Lots of good folks in here and lots of good info. Buying a boat is like buying a pistol---as many suggestions as there are people on the forum--I like the S&W Shield 9mm with a Crimson Trace Green Dot laser fyi! But seriously folks there are some great people here that own every type of pontoon there is-depending on their expected use.

My only suggestion is to always buy the rated horsepower--a pontoon boat is basically like trying to push a dumpster thru the water... but with the Sweetwater you probably know that. Happy hunting!
