Quick question on deck size

#1 Post by Barry » Sat Nov 21, 2015 8:22 pm

I am going to be doing my first rebuild of a pontoon over the winter. Going to be ordering the new decking from PS. But what size deck do I have? It is listed as a 18' bass buggy. BUT, it has kind of a pointed nose on it, and the back just has a couple pieces over the end of the toons. Im thinking I probably need the 18' kit? But, I don't want to end up short either. So, should I get the 20' kit? Or, would even the 16' kit be enough?

Why not just send the measurements to PS and get their advice.

Barry I'd say measure it after you have the trim off. Then decide. Count the sheets as well. full or partial. and as was said check with PS.



BTW does michelle know you are doing this? :paranoid :scared :mrgreen:

I did think about counting the sheets once everything was off and all cleaned up. I just was hoping to order them now, so I had the new wood to put down when I was ready for it. I must admit though, I didn't think about calling PS. I would bet, that being a seller of all things pontoon, they would know......
