I bought a pontoon boat tonight

[Whiskers]

I was just telling the better half a couple days ago that I was thinking of getting a pontoon boat before next spring because it would be easier for me to get in and out of than my v bottom.Well tonight I fell into a good deal on a 20' Bass Buggy that I just couldn't pass up.I have fished on the boat on several occassions and it has always been dependable.I know who owned it since it was new.So I might get back out to fishing some more now before it gets cold.I still like my Richline V-bottom but sometimes I just can't crawl around in it when my bad hip gets to acting up.

WHISKERS, TELL BUTTONS THAT WITH THE PONTOON, YOU CAN TAKE THE GRANDKIDS OUT FISHIN WITH YOU. PONTOONS ARE EVEN GOOD FOR FAMILY DAY OUT. ;D

She's actually glad I got it,she's been wanting me to get one so we could take the grandkids and folks out when they're up here.I had been putting it off because of the price of most of them,but I got a good deal on this one.I bought it from my sister.My brother-in-law went out and upgraded to a bigger bass boat a couple weeks ago so she went and bought her a bigger pontoon (Party Barge) so they had two bass boats and two pontoon boats sitting in their driveway and she was afraid her neighbors were going to start complaining(she lives in town right on Table Rock Lake) so she sold it to me for about 1/3 of book value.I will go down and get it this weekend,they put it in the shop to be tuned up and serviced so it should be in tip top shape when I pick it up.It was running fine before because my folks was down there on it last weekend but my sister wanted the shop to fix anything it might need just in case.This will be the first pontoon I have owned but I have rented several and I fished on this one all last summer because they left it up here at my house on LOZ last summer.

I useta think one of them floatin dance floors would be just th right wrinkle. Back then I rated a boat's usefullness by how much beer it could float! It was kinda like a fantasy; a cooler on each side of my hammock, in the shade! Heck, I even had full intentions of puttin th thing in th water ever now an then!

Here is a couple pictures of the boat.This computer doesn't have a card reader and I can't find my cable to plug my camera in right now so I took a couple pictures with my phone and emailed them to myself,so they aren't real good pictures.
The boat is nothing fancy but serves it's purpose for me.

at the boatramp in the little cove here at the house (the boat on the left,closest to the ramp) It looks like there is something leaning up from the top of the back down to in front of the Capt.stand but I guess it is the glare on the alum. rail for the top because there was nothing resembling that in the boat when I took the picture.


and on the trailer

;D HAY WHISKERS, THAT IS A COOL LOOKIN PARTY BARGE THERE, IN THAT SECOND PIC, IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE GRANDKIDS HAD TO GET IN, BEFORE IN GOT TO WATER.

Yea,any time the boat is sitting still they want to get in it.
