My dad has a boat like this one not sure if it is same brand but he had a very bad stroke and he has been bed ridden for over a year now so it basically became mine. Watching this video I am going to try to assemble it tomorrow and going to see if he added anything. I look forward to using it.

Much thanks to you for filming this I bought this pontoon boat 3 years ago and it stayed in my shed for 3 years as well ! Worried that mice might have gotten into the box and chewed it into pieces ? Fortunately everything seems to be in good shape no chew damage that I can see at this time. Im retired and discovered that I’m too busy doing other things.. so I’m going to be selling this as soon as I can assemble it…

From what I learned in Business school is this: a product can have the label" Made in the USA or America" has the product first outsourced ( usually China/ Taiwan, cheap labor) , sent back to the US. The company then rent a Customs approved place to add 10% of a real US made product onto the outsourced product, and slap a " Made in the USA/ America " label on it, and it's all legal. I do agree, they have some poor products. They refund you if your not satisfied.

Temu is great if you don't mind buying products made by slave labor. Not sweatshop labor. Actual slavery. That's why it's so cheap. If you're not aware of this, look into the Uygur slave labor camps in China. As much as I like the idea of solar, I won't get solar for my house because I know that most of the panels on the market are made by slaves in China. Don't support slavery. Slavery is evil.
