Pontoon boat repair (Part 7) Deja-Vu FINALLY finishing the Pontoon poon boat and trailer

Back on to fixing the pontoon boat and trailer, Had to totally clean the boat all over again, moss BEES etc. The Florida pontoon boat is so much fun, I have to get this one done!
The lower unit held oil woohoo, so we continue with the project.
Pontoon Boat Trailer Tires: amzn.to/2V2TMWA
Brackets I used: amzn.to/2Ca6mX5
2 couches: amzn.to/2XTCaYE
attwood Solid Braid MFP Anchor Line with Thimble (White, 3/8-Inch x 100-Feet) amzn.to/2LPnbxe
Material for covering center console: amzn.to/2Y0BAN5
upholstery staple gun: amzn.to/2Y5MNMh
Stainless steel staples: amzn.to/2XKviBH
Johnson 40 gear case reseal kit amzn.to/2So44Ld
I must be totally insane to pick up another boat project, but I guess it's in my blood. This one is a 1989 Lowe 189 (18' 9”) with a Johnson 40hp VRO loopcharged small gearcase and a standard boat trailer (not for pontoon). It was in a super hard spot to retrieve it from too, thankfully I own a Jeep Wrangler with big tires or I would have never gotten it out of where it was! The last boat I restored was a Bayliner weekender 24 foot, I converted it from an I/O to an outboard. Cleaned it up put a lot of hours into it then nobody in my family was interested so I sold it... So why did I buy another project? I already have a SeaDoo jet boat which I totally rebuilt the engine. I also have a Seadoo Jetski SP800 that I rebuilt the engine on too. Guess I am a glutton for punishment... NAH, I just love buying cheap shit and turning it into something. Something somebody else totally gave up on and left for junk. I get a good feeling inside, it's like a quest, so long as the project is not to the point of costing a fortune over what the worth of the thing is!

It's Pontoon time!

[@robertgreer5229]

Good layout,cover that boat! Love it! 🥸

[@maxk5134]

Magic sponge man! It will get those seats white again.

[@RatdogDRB]

New layout is "more gooder". Room to move around is good. Weight can be more easily distributed like this.

[@bobwinne3740]

Like the screen house ldea

[@mikeizzano172]

Looks good Moto,you can adjust everything else to fit your needs as to how many people are with you ,just a fishing trip, or your picnic trips leaves plenty of open space to accommodate your need for the day ! Have a good one …..

[@MotoCheez]

Yes! And I can put my Z50 on there.

[@justinmcroberts4633]

Im impressed that Mini was able to pull the boat out as easy as it did.

[@MotoCheez]

Pontoon boats are light. This with motor weighs about 1500lbs

[@BAZZAROU812]

Never underestimate Mini.. Meep Meep

[@nathandaniel4167]

Glad to see the pontoon out again! Until you get your screened in canopy you could use your Jeeps roof top tent.

[@MotoCheez]

True!

[@Ifitallfails]

Brings back memories of going out on the boat with my pa... love them party boats.

[@ywr969]

love your new sponge bob intro! & good to see mini putting in some work. pontoon boats are so cool, but i already have too many toys...

[@jrsnyderjr151]

ZEP from home Depot works very well on the mold and mildew on the seats.

[@josephfrese8025]

In a coma at the tablet now!😁😁

[@Wearyman]

I would check the layout of some modern poon boats. Generally they are laid out like a living room, with benches facing each other in the front area for socializing, as well as a bench or extra Captain's chairs in the back. A table of some type is usually included as well for drinks and dining. So unless you are going for a "fishing poon boat" set up (which would be kind of cool) I would say you need more benches. If going for the fishing boat, mount some fishing chairs up front for sitting in.

[@MotoCheez]

I checked out a few designs. I was thinking coolers as chairs that can be moved and a small folding table possibly..

[@ukp42]

I watched too many water jet video games on here, but it's so relaxing :D Add a disco dance floor or a glass bottom to see the fish?

[@chicknman72]

lookin' good

[@Shield.148]

Looks good the way you put it. Cheezerific!

[@blbeach]

That cleaned up nice cheesy! Yeah that OMC engine should work fine I would bet. I like the new layout I think it's better for you that way you got more room. I probably mount one of those Big mouth Billy Bass talking fish right in front of the captain's console. I guess I'm friends with the pontoon boat up in the mountains and they have one of those plastic garage things with the aluminum pipe? It fits right in there and it keeps it plenty nice and safe through the winter. Going to have to take it out on the lake and make a video for us! Thanks for the video it was great

[@kevinkeltner8800]

dam close

[@billcotton1551]

I like the revised lay out better.

[@mikehomner4724]

#11 Not First! My brothers Pontoon had the mold too. We used soft scrub with bleach. We then use a green nylon to scrub it in and let it set in the sun for a day. Then we used 303 protectant after it was clean.

[@philix0]

I use a harbor freight black net as a cover with about 8 clamps from harbor freight too. Works great !

[@MotoCheez]

Oh yeah? It's big enough?

[@MitchellGWhitehead]

Oh yeah

[@MG-ux2hm]

Oxy clean spray in the shade and seats should look like new. May need to cover with paper towels to keep wet for at least half hour.

[@MotoCheez]

I have a few ideas I want to test, this sounds good too

[@bruceaplin]

I have a pontoon boat that my cousin built for his parents. When the pontoon boat got to be too much for them, I bought it. cleaning the carpet was always "trouble" Cousin said he quit building pontoons with indoor/outdoor carpet and switched to a 7 part epoxy paint with a splatter design. 10 years later it still looks great. Hit it with a hose and it's clean. I asked cousin make me a few mods. Stip off deck catpet, spray on new 7 part epoxy paint, installed a door in the back rail and a swim platform on one pontoon with a flip out ladder step for easy boat boarding from in the water. Shim UP the sides & back walls with a quarter inch spacer for quick and easy draining while washing off the deck. Trailer winch post and Tee included steps for easy boarding while on the trailer. I kept my pontoon under a harbor freight canopy. I always thought about making a frame on the trailer to hold the canopy, Looks like your trailer already has a frame for the canopy legs. Now my cousin builds the sides out of expanded aluminum mesh. Cuts down the weight and wind load. 💛

[@MotoCheez]

Great progress I like the ideas. I see the new pontoon boats use a vinyl flooring. The 2018 I bought in FL has thatslt floor w the spacers lifting the tails. So boat builders progressed too.

Maybe try a (strong) solution of bleach to take the stains off those seats? P.S. -- Lay out a space for a collapsing table to place a camp stove? (Since you might be camping with it.)

Looks good but can you put your gas tanks on the pontoons by your motor?

[@MotoCheez]

Yes, the tank can be strapped on the rear of a pontoon.

[@justinsane7128]

Get yourself some 20 mule team Borax, a big big box of baking soda and some tsp trisodium phosphate mix some basically in equal parts a few tablespoons and a couple gallons of water and have at her and it will eat that mold up and the mold won't come back like when you Clorox it that's what I have to do to my boat on the salt water in Texas
