Hi all,

I recently purchased a 24 foot pontoon boat at auction.

It has almost a full length deck with 26" high railing .

The only seating is for the driver (helmsman ?).

There appeared to be wiring for navigation lights and a light over the
front. None of these are working and the navigation lights are missing.

There is a 35 HP Mercury outboard with gas tank and automatic oiler.

I am told by the past owner this was primarily a family boat for lake
outings.

I am doing repairs to a few items that seem to be suffering from water
exposure.

The boat is going to be sold when I finish repairs and refit.

What features would make this boat more easily sold ? Seating, ice
chest, stove, live well ?

Yes.

How important are the navigation lights ?

You got to be kidding, right?

To paraphrase Johnny Cochran - "If You Gonna Run At Night, You Gotta
Have The Lights".

Later,

Tom
