Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Ton of boxes coming Wednesday! New biminit top, woodgrain face plate for dash, water pump rebuild kit, different ladder. Took tires off to replace tonight for the drive down to lake. I'm sure there's more but that's what I remember. Oh yeah need to go pay taxes and get boat call number.

Kudos need to go out to pontoonstuff. They are having supply line issues like everyone in the wake of covid, but their willingness to help in any way possible is flat out amazing.

Love seeing rebuilds progress along. Good luck getting her wet! I agree with above --- go nekkid if you have to!

More pics console finish is next big project along with installing new bimini

console done, it's not perfect but it's about as good as I can do. New stainless steering wheel on order, gauges working except it appears the fuel sending unit needs to be replaced. Bimini top on. She's ready for the water next weekend.

ok steering wheel on. This week I'm going to try and finish sun deck in back before we take it to lake next weekend. If it doesn't get done then that will have to wait. Because she's going to her forever home at the lake.

Looking great! I like the console a lot. The burl wood looks really sharp. I have the same chair and love it, too. I was going to get the big chair originally and I'm glad I didn't.

Enjoy!

In hind sight I wish I had gotten 2 more of these chairs for the front fishing area. It truly is a comfortable seat.

We are done to the wire (pun intended). The only thing not working that I really wanted to get done is anchor light. Brand new tested and no go. Fortunately I have a back up that's not really for bimini top but it will work until I get replacement light.

Hope to launch Friday, or early saturday. I'll get photos when on the water.

PTS sent an email stating that still no sign of seat base for couch so all we can do is wait.

My friend is still waiting on two of his corner cushions...yours looks

I fairly successful maiden voyage! So we put her in the water. Started right up "still amazing after sitting for so many years". Drove around for a bit Friday night just to test.

Used it all day Saturday including a 45 minute one way drive to the restaurant on the water. She ran great and everyone in family was happy to have the new plush "to us" seating. And can't wait for the other 4.5' of couch to come.

Went down to water Today to drain coolers and make sure it was tied up good for the week, And I discovered there was a fuel leak. Seems to be around the hose to engine connector at least that's where I found fuel. Not sure if there is a gasket missing on the fuel line engine connection or what. So I'll get a new hose and take it with me and see if that fixes it. Will also take some engine fuel line in case the issue isn't the fuel hose.

Interesting turn of events. I already replaced the hose last year. Thought it looked awful nice and new. I used an Attwood Mercury with no spray quick disconnect at the tank. It leaked at the engine fitting.

Congratulations on getting wet! Glad it went well.
