You've done a great job reconditioning a perfectly serviceable boat.
The interior looks like a new one.
That's what I mean about pontoons being such a good value. Use'em 25 years, and they can be redone at much less than the cost of a new boat.
You can pass these things on to your grandchildren if properly maintained. And they can also be re-engined.

hi kenn
really enjoyed our call the other day.
i have thought of a question i didn't ask and i don't think you covered in your post .
did you refinish the railing , (tubing). on the boat before you put it back .
did you just clean it , or have it powered coated . or what . if you refinished it were at and what kind of cost was involved

No I just power washed it, wish i had polished it, was just it a . harry to get it out on the lake, I did have my toons acid washed when it was in the shop for a new lower unit. If I was doing it again I would polish everything it looks so much better, maybe someday I will do it something else for the to do list.
