Just parked it to head home! No regrets and still no issues.

@@tammybollman9556 Thank you. I appreciate the reply. I’m gonna check out your other vids with your boat. I see you go to Raystown to. I Just got back, was there for a week. Raystown is why I’m considering a pontoon. Do you have any issues with wake from larger boats, or does the pontoon handle it well?

Some came with the suntracker and I made the others out of kingsboard that I ordered online.

Thanks I have a lowe pontoon with a fishing section in the rear would love to make them...

We have a 60" shaft 24v 80 lbs thrust trolling motor on our pontoon and on windy days it deffinitly works our trolling motor .

We have a 60" 24v 80lbs thrust minnkota terrova

And the mount is just a minn kota quick detach mount

Yes, 80lbs thrust 24v minnkota terrova 60" shaft

60" shaft 24v 80lbs thrust minnkota

Payments are around 400$ but we added the extras ...

@@mikebollman9906 thanks! Liked & subscribed look forward to your boating videos 🤙

60" shaft is the length we use and it does very well

Our trolling motor is also a 80lbs thrust 24 volt

Thanks so much for your reply! We are lookin at purchasing the sylvan rear fishing pedestal seats and noticed not much of a lip on the bow. Is there a solution for it? Also, my local sporting goods store is recommending a 45" shaft. Is that to short?

45" seems on the shorter side in my opinion .... 55" is the shortest i have ever used on a pontoon ... as far as the lip ur refering to, is that on the front of the boat ?? We have a quick release mounted to the deck at our front door and the trolling motor mounts to that... if u have a full height front door on ur pontoon im not sure how that would work for mounting a trolling motor unless u keep the front door open which isnt ideal ... we got lucky and our front door is a half door

That's what I thought as well. The lip I am talking about is sylvan 8520 fish and cruise. I agree, The half door would be ideal. Thanks so much for helping me out!

Thanks! Sounds like an easy enough fix.

Yes we went and got stainless bolts and bolted the whole ramp up ... i didnt trust the self tapping screws eather lol

Yep, we drop and drag anchor to set it, deploy the ramp and tie off to a post or tree. We hook up to both sides off the front when tying off. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your new boat!

We have deployed the ramp from the boat before tying off if we pull into a cove in a nowake area with calm waters and can slide the toons on shore enough to stabilize the boat, and then deployed it. Its nice because if you are along a raised bank it will act as a bridge. We havent had any issues with the handle, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the reply, makes sense!

We fish for the sport and the enjoyment. Using different types of lures and finding the right depths, the locations, what they are feeding on is a challenge and can be rewarding. We hunt and grow to put food on the table, we fish for sport. Personal choice.

Haven't had any issues with them. They are sealed and we used shrink tube on all wiring connections.

So no trouble of the brackets being bent from waves or anything?

Thanks for checkjng out the video , each light bar is 12/24 volts and 36 watts. The light output is 3200 lumens each,

We haven't but it would easily pull a tube or skis. We have seen alot of them pulling on the lake. It would be best to get one of the balls to keep the rope out of the water. A tri toon would make tighter turns and a 150 would be better if pulling a larger tube with multiple kids. It's plenty fast enough with the 115 for the kids but if you have some speed racers who like the rough rides they may prefer something faster.

We traded in a 2008 Tahoe to get the fishing pontoon. The Tahoe was great for pulling a tube, not so great for fishing. We love how much storage and floor space the pontoon has.

Thanks

It could possibly work in that configuration .... I contacted the dealership before wiring up the battery charger and they recommended hooking it up per individual battery

@@tneadventures3643 ok thanks, i just got the same boat and was look what charger i need to get.

That is awesome!
