New Tahoe Pontoon

#1 Post by JoeB14 » Tue May 17, 2016 1:31 am

I ordered this in March, and did a sea trial yesterday. Could not bring it home due to the slight dent in the sidewall that needs to be fixed, but otherwise I am very happy with it. It's a Tahoe LTZ 2465, with express tube, underskinning, strakes, and a Honda 150. In choppy water, 1/4 tank of fuel, and about 450 lbs. of human cargo, we topped out at 41 mph GPS. :alright

Indeed very nicely appointed interior.... What is under the tweed (sea grass?) floor mats, they look like they snap into place?

That big Honda motor looks like a bodybuilder that put all his efforts into the upper chest and plum ignored his skinny chicken legs.... But on an outboard that's a good thing...

The floor mats were a factory mistake...to our favor. The floor is vinyl, my wife wanted (Read:so I ordered) the snap in carpet runner that just goes bow gate to end of seats, right down the middle. They ended up giving us what appears to be multiple sea grass snap in runners, covering most of the floor. Not yet sure how that will work with dogs tracking dirt and being able to wash it off easily, but it looks better than the carpet runner.
