New to forum and new pontoon owner!

#1 Post by sdparrett » Wed Feb 18, 2015 11:50 am

Just purchased a 2014 Premier 290 Grand Entertainer! Traded in our Crownline 260EX deck boat and decided a pontoon fit our lifestyle better. Got a great deal as it was used for shows and the dealer was wanting to move it to bring in some new models. It's a single engine, 8' beam, so it's not the biggest one.
We have a place on Nolin Lake in Kentucky and are able to keep it at our slip at the house. Any advice as to care or what to expect would be great! Cannot express in words how excited I am for May to get here!!
I realize it's a lot of boat, but we enjoy having family and friends over so the room will be welcome.
