Hello new to the site and thought I'd share how I came to join the forums.  I have been wanting a pontoon for a long time and finally found one I could afford knowing it was going to need further work.  I came across this one last month and fell in love with it.  1984 24ft Lowe Pontoon.  The previous owner had done allot of work on the pontoon as it was in pretty bad shape.  He re-did the flooring, new carpet, new seats, console, running lights etc. So I have a good start to complete it the way I would like to do.  I want to put new side seats in, have already ordered a live well and I want to get a double bimini top so I can stay in the shade when I take it bouth to Alabama.  The previous owner had purchased many of the items from pontoonstuff and recommended that I check you out.  I really got excited when I found the forum and eagerly read many of the posts of those who had rebuilt etc.  Of course the 101 on buying a pontoon would have been a great bit of wisdom to have read prior to looking but oh well!

I look forward to visiting the forums and furthering my education in this area as well as great place to buy some of the items I need.

I'm new here and found this site while researching the options to buy or build a pontoon boat.  Your posts provided me with a ton of much needed information.  I am not new to boating, but I've never owned a pontoon before.  I'm 53 now and with grandkids, comfort and size are definitely top priorities, and a pontoon boat simply fulfills all of the needs we identified.  After many hours of research and a recent trip to the Houston boat show, we decided on a SunCruiser Angler SS224 with the XL performance package because of the 3- 25' pontoons, the 4 point fish platform, and still plenty of room to accomodate grandkids and meet our other needs.  Thanks to all who have helped me make informed decisions!  There are a lot of nice folks here!!!  Will post pics when we get it, but will likely wait until the end of February or March, since we are still making repairs to our home and barn (boat storage)  from hurricane ike.  Thanks again for your help!!!  Mike

I've been looking for a pontoon boat for awhile now, and found this site when googling for information about them.

Joined and started posting this week, after my DH agreed to get one.  Wooohooo!  Can't wait to find my boat and get out on the water.

I already have some items in my Pontoonstuff cart, waiting to find the boat to put them on!

My girlfriend and I deceided to buy a pontoon last fall, and I looked for 3 months before I got the one I wanted.  Its not perfect, but its nice for the price I gave for it.  I was looking at google for pontoon stores and parts, and thats how I ran across this forum.  I jumped right in and starting asking questions, and have many more to ask.  Seems like several people jumped right in to offer answers or suggestions. I have my list made up and ready to start ordering things soon.

Thanks for being such a nice bunch of folks here........I feel right at home!!!!
