  My 20 foot Riveria Crusier has a 70 Jhonson on it too & I'm not at all sure if 'mama' is going to want me to go that fast with it.  But I might want to go that fast AND MORE if a bad storm happens to suddently come up & I want to get to shore in a hurry huh?

That's why its a sticky topic here. It's part of the reason why he became a moderator, then later an admin. He's the poster child of pontoon boats  and a GREAT big help on my rebuild.

If I had a boat this nice, I would make sure I could get it in my living room so I could use it ALL the time. Nice work! You sure set the bar high for the rest of us to get over.

Rob, go to the very beginning of his thread, you'll find the answer on page 1 besides, his thread deserves a through reading , the whole thing is very enjoyable to read and see all the pics. And to think I was lucky enough to get him to build me a console out of that AZEK (with livewell no less). I liked it so much I just bought him a new refurbished Dell PC with Vista (with 1 yr warranty and McAfee antivirus) to replace the no name brand I built for him last year.

scbadiver I do not think anyone has asked you yet but where did you purchase your switch panels and gauges?

You do know you can get them from PontoonStuff don't you at their EZACDC (guages he got from Bass Pro or already had them), that lexan plastic he made the bezel out of (I did that to my original console too). PontoonStuff has a basic gauge layout here that has a tach and volt meter and a blank for another gauge. These switch panels from EZACDC works really well and easy to plug up.

I believe though looking at his switches (which he got before PontoonStuff got EZACDC), one panel looks like a SeaDog and so does the other, but I couldn't find that particular layout (the 3 switch one on the left)

Sorry to be late, I was working on a pontoon boat, for something different! Wildcat Dude is correct. I picked up both switch panels at Bass Pro. EZ wasn't around when I was doing mine, unfortunitely.The gauges are all Teleflex, Value Series alos purchased at BP. I made the black panel from some on Gravoply engraving sheet I had left over in the shop. It is tough stuff. It wont fade, burn or melt. Has to be cut with only carbide. You can wipe it clean with laquer thinner without worry. Great stuff for that application.

By the way aaadkins, WELCOME ABOARD!!

Welcome to the forums Ryan. Got a great bunch of people here and we're glad to have you join us. Be sure to post some pics of your boat(s) in the 'Show Off Your Pontoon' section (or rebuild depending if you have before/after pics), as we'd love to see them. Also tell us your story in How did you come to join the forums? (just click on the red link and tell us all about it ). You probably did like a lot of us have. Looking for pontoon accessories and either found it through www.PontoonStuff.com ebay site or web store. Jim (administrator) and Andrea (pontoongirl) Myers (our hosts) have excellent staff members to help them help you find whatever it is you're looking for your boat and has excellent shipping and customer service. Have fun and happy boating. Be sure to edit your signature line to include details of your boat and motor so folks won't have to ask for it if questions arise later. Also visit our other sections like Where are you? so others will know what part of the country you're from. If you need any help editing your uploading your photo's, check out our primer here How To Upload Your Pontoon Boats Image, If you need help resizing them check out Software that helps you with pics & such. Be sure to review the posting rules and policies of the forum. If you have any issues with seeing photo's this link will explain it Issue regarding seeing photo’s on site. Please read all the posting rules. Some forums have additional specific rules for that category.

This link should help with the polishing questions..

      robbie,  i just rechecked your rebuild.  i noticed you used a come-a-long to cinch your new plywood deck up tight on the seam.  and you never had any buckeling problem??

Hey Cap! No, no problems. We only pulled it snug and square before we screwed it down. There was really never any serious pressure anywhere, just lined it up.

SCBADIVER, I just now saw your rebuilding of your pontoonboat. You did a GREAT job with it. I just went over the posts quick, but I'll be back to read them all. Its great to know that whatever the pontoon is like, if we want to make it nicer, it CAN BE DONE!!! With a truckload of beer that is! GREAT WORK MY FRIEND!!!

Looks terrific   do you have any suggestions for putting a corner seat over a gas tank to cover it? Does anyone?

The way corner seats are made, they won't go over the tank, the tank would have to fit within it, and it would be too small. Lots of pontoons have sundecks or horseshoe areas (like mine that scbadiver helped build the enclosure) put our permanent tanks in there. I got a brand new fuel tank, but its 2 inches taller than the rail, so this fall I'll be rebuilding that section to give it more room. scbadiver hasn't logged on in 2 months, last time I talked to him he was swamped at work and other projects (fish tanks, landscaping stuff)
