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.


Not sure how many or how big the lakes are in your target area, but this
sounds way under powered. With this motor you would be limited to putting
around or using it for fishing - equip acordingly.



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 ?

How important are the navigation lights ?


VERY - especially if you equip it as a fishing boat. But if just a put-put
also important for those evening cruises.


Thanks for all opinions.
