Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Nearly finished a refurb on our 97 Crest. It has come a long way.

The tan seats look nice.

are those Pontoonstuff seats? Never seen that flip-flop seat cushion before???

No. They aren't. I didn't find this site until after I ordered my seats.

looks great!

Thanks. The boat was a gift from my in laws. They were unable to use it anymore due to health. It had good bones, just needed some TLC. Yamaha 4 stroke is immaculate.

Can you give a ballpark what you spent on the refurb. I have a friend that is looking at a toon that need work and we are trying to figer the cost on rehab.
your boat looks good.

It had good bones

That's a good criteria for a rebuild!

I have always been partial to Crest boats they look stout and well made!

Good job!

I have about $2200 in parts and materials (seats, carpet, hardware) and I had to buy a trailer. I also added a second battery and switch. I might, if I feel froggy, replace the sheet metal in the fencing due to some damage. But that stuff is just cosmetic. It is a 15mph monster

I never saw myself as a pontoon person, til now. The wife and kid love it.

Battery set up and what it looked like before I pulled it ashore.

Curtis. The flip flop seat top is split. It makes it a little easier to get to the food and sodas when we are out. I made it a cooler and put a bilge drain through the deck from the bottom of the cooler so I can drain it when we are done. I use a regular boat plug to hold in the ice and water.

First seats replaced.

That is a great job. Did you have the seat cushion done like that?

No. It came like that. I didn't think I would like it at first. It actually works out pretty nice. I'm going to put a cheap gasket around the lid to seal a little better.

You guys think any money could be made in buying these things and refurbishing them? Maybe sell em on craigslist or something once they're done.
