But really, THANK YOU TO ALL! I hope I didn't wear any of you out with questions and what not, but this site is great and all of YOU helped me and my wife go to 'pontoon school' and make purchasing one go easily!
So yes, we finally bought one!!! Its an 05 Sundance Majestic Legend, 26ft and an upper deck with a 140hp motor.

BUuuuttt....i do need some 'outboard' school lessons. The only watercraft we have is the waverunner, so the outboard motor is new to me. I've read up on winterizing, changing lower oil, plugs, etc. I even found a random youtube clip on changing the fuel filters (how often to do that?) Anything else? Im mechanically inclined, just need to know 'what' to do and ill do it.
Also, once im done for the day and I pull the boat back out of the water, what is next? Like on the waverunner, we have drain plugs to pull, etc. Is there anything like that? Drain water out of the motor? (im assuming they're water cooled so there would be some to drain after use?) Also, I usually flush the waverunner each outing, is the necessary for an outboard?
Like I said, it was a 'thanks' with more questions attached!
But SERIOUSLY, thank you
all and I look forward to sharing more photos and stories with you all!-Corrie & Jenn
