Hello all, I am not only new to owning a pontoon boat but I am also new to boating. This looked like a good way to get some knowledge from some experienced boaters. I live in Ponca City, Oklahoma and only 15 minutes away from Kaw Lake. Not a bad lake but a really muddy/sandy lake that has maybe 2 inches of visability at best!! Had my toon for about a month and a half now and just love it. Found out last weekend that pulling my toon with a 20-30 MPH headwind going down the high way is a bit much for my gasoline powered pickup. If I continue to pull to other lakes in the state I think I will have to upgrade to a Diesel!!!

Those Sun Tracker's are really nice. And you're right, toons can be a bear to pull even without a headwind. Please post some pics of your new toon. Again, welcome to the site..

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, have lurked a little since getting our 24' sunchaser 2 yrs ago...we just traded it & picked up a 30' Suntracker last week! We live in Mexican Hat Utah! 90 miles from Lake Powell...did not want a houseboat as we want to travel some...& like bringing it home with us! We got home with it last Saturday night & left Sunday morning for a 1 nighter! Had to see what all we're going to need... I had read on here that ST's are considered the wally world boats...I didn't tell my husband that until after we bought it, though...I think it'll fit our lifestyle fine!
I enjoy all the stories, the re-builds...etc...lots of info.

Please read all the posting rules. Some forums have additional specific rules for that category. On your redecking, don't forget that you'll need the wood and carpet dry for the glue to dry out which can take a few hours to many hours depending on your tempatures, its best if its at least 65 for about 8hrs, otherwise you'll need to heat an enclosure (garage, tent, etc).
