Suweeeeeeeeeet Ride! Congrats!

I am so jealous of you Florida guys...I am curious about what goes into a "salt water" package? I always wondered if I pulled my barge to Florida can you run it in salt water?

I believe the only thing the saltwater package includes are some additional anodes but I haven't actually located them yet.

There are a bunch of pontoon boats out here. In fact I think there are more pontoons than any other kind of boat out here especially since they rent them everywhere.

Welcome aboard! I was stationed at Hurlburt/Eglin for many years. We used to rent toons out of Both marinas. I loved spending the day on crab island and the small islands near Hurlburt. If you want some adventure, head up to Milton and launch into the Blackwater River at the Navy recreation area. Beautiful water and great people.

Cheers,

Tony
Glad to be here, proud to serve.

Thanks for all the compliments! We've been having a blast already! Hit up crab island, cruised around Destin's harbor walk and ventured out toward Hurlburt! We'll definitely try the Blackwater river as soon as we can.
