I want a pontoon boat!

[ShallowsNole]

but due to my budget, it will unfortunately need to be used. Probably very used, but I would want it well taken care of. And I'd probably need to take out a loan.

Found one on Ebay, but I'd have to drive hubby's truck to Minnesota to pick it up.

Got any ideas?

check the local boat places around you for trade-ins, but you'll have to pay vat if you buy it out of state

be sure to check for rust/corrosion/rot underneath the carpet and seats and make sure the motor starts and runs before you leave the dealer's lot

especially check paradise marine in orange beach and whatever that one is in niceville as they usually have a lot of used boats in the back

1. can i be the first to go with you to crab island.
2. will you get a 2 level one with a slide and party deck

Can I go too? Heck, I'll chip in for the refreshments!

I'll bring the SPF 30!!!!

 

[jessifunn]

dd and ss could ride together from dallas! this is getting good. anyone else?

I'm in. I will bring the keg.

 

[ShallowsNole]

Yes, y'all can all go to Crab Island (which is actually one of my ulterior motives). Keep in mind:

(1) my spouse is a deputy sheriff

(2) fortunately, Crab Island is out of his jurisdiction but even if you take the cop out of the county, he is still a cop ;-)

(3) which means he will need to teach me how to drive it so I can leave him at home! (Only problem is that our dock isn't built yet and I can just picture trying to put the boat in or, worse yet, getting it back on the trailer by myself. :shock: )

Dadgum, AB, I hope you found an online directory and copied and pasted that - otherwise, your carpal tunnel is probably flaring up!

Will keep all posted...meanwhile, y'all keep planning Crab Island...

Uh Oh, you probably don't need me around then.

(2) fortunately, Crab Island is out of his jurisdiction but even if you take the cop out of the county, he is still a cop ;-) ...

DANG!!!!!

(3) which means he will need to teach me how to drive it so I can leave him at home! (Only problem is that our dock isn't built yet and I can just picture trying to put the boat in or, worse yet, getting it back on the trailer by myself. :shock: ) ...

No problem there, Shallows, my dad taught me how to drive a pontoon/boat and trailer at an early age..I can launch that sucker in no time, and take it out also. Leave the driving to me. And then there will be no problem with me going, even if Mr. Shallows is a Deputy Sherrif, 'cause this girl won't be drinking and driving...I will be the proud DD!!!! Did I just say that??????
