Dang Tom, how many floatie toys do you have?

Er...well, how do you define "toys"?

If you mean boats, three - the Canyon 33, the Ranger and this pontoon.

If you mean "toys" as in hobby stuff...um...a lot?

I'm still watching for the pontoon bargain but haven't found one yet.

This one was a real bargain. Got it for $1,800 w/new trailer. :)

I gave it to my youngest boy to play with - he and his academy
roommate were thinking about splitting the cost, but as new cops,
families and what not, $900 for a toy was...well, let's just say I did
the Dad thing and bought it for them. Got the upholstery done for a
really good price - cost $900 for the entire thing.

It's got a 70 Johnson two stroke on it - it's a '96 and is really
strong, but I'm thinking of putting a four stroker on it - probably a
90 Merc. Possibly another ETEC - I can get a pretty good price on one
at dealer cost plus 10%, but the boys are inclined towards four
strokes so it might just be better to go with the flow. :)

I suppose I could bolster the motor mount and put a 150 Verado on it -
I can rebadge the pontoon for 8 people instead of 12.

Then again, I'm paying for it and that gives me a certain "privilege"
if you will so ETEC is still a possibility. :)

there's a spec of something underneath that captains chair
