Used Pontoon Boat
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 4:28 pm
I am considering searching for a small, cheap, used pontoon boat for use in lakes near Pittsburgh PA. (These lakes are limited to either 9.9hp or 20hp motors.)
I have never owned a boat before. Does anyone have any first-time purchase advice that they would share concerning used boats? Is there anything that I should look out for or any brands that I should avoid? Also, assuming that I will have to make some repairs, which are the easiest to make and which should I avoid? Also what kind of regular maintenance does a pontoon boat need?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
