Why So Few Pontoon Boat Ads?
"Gfretwell" wrote in message
... Around here (upstate NY), pontoon boats tend to be owned by the same people who think a K-car is just a bit too wild. Folks around here are discovering that a pontoon boat makes a pretty good back bay fishing boat if you set it up center console and toss all of that furniture. I use the truck tool boxes for my gear. Carpet on glued top of the box makes a good walking surface. When granny wants to go for a ride, just bring along a lawn chair. That makes this a very low maintenance boat. One advantage of a pontoon is that you can mount the engine a lot higher so it runs "on the step" with the cavitation plate just under water and when it sets down it is only a few inches below that. That makes a boat that will run in a bit over a foot of water at idle speed without tearing up the bottom. Not many flats boats (none?) can do that. Hey....I don't doubt that they can be set up and used creatively. I just made an observation of what I see most of the time around here. Sort like...mention a Crown Victoria in front of 50 guys and the mental picture 48 will have will involve a very old driver. |
