Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Still searching for a nicer used tritoon, looking all over craigslist, eBay Google etc, and coming up with tons of results. Of course I don't know a lot about the build methods of the different companies. One thing I know I must have is stainless fasteners where structural integrity is concerned because I am operating in salt water. I saw a nice 2010 bought new in 2012 sun tracker 25 xp3 with a 200 merc xs on it. The price is within budget, but looking at trackers build info, they say they use coated tek fasteners for the deck to cross members? I also saw a 2014 23 Tahoe with a 150 ETEC HO on it, and 23 ft G3 tritoon in Panama City beach that looks interesting. So, what brands should I be looking at to know they use stainless steel? 1 more.. Anyone have experience with USA pontoons and purchasing a complete kit for a DIY. Boat? Thanks all.
