All this pontoon talk reminds me of the time a few years ago we went on vacation to beach with a group of friends. Everyone wanted to rent a pontoon for the day and go exploring... I guess I was the most nautical in the group and my dear husband nominated me to be Captain of the rental pontoon. I was miserable driving that thing and then add in the lack of horsepower... I was a sad NautiGirl. I don't think Jeff has ever seen me so sad while being on a boat!

Winterizing is no longer an issue with a new VP.

I saw that a few weeks ago. Really cool concept! Is it 2018 engines?

Do you still have to fill the lines with the antifreeze? Or do you just leave it open and let it drip dry?

I personally would fire it back up just to run some antifreeze through it so it doesn't rust. That's it two seconds done. Hard to believe this didn't come out 30 years ago.
