I got the rails and fences installed yesterday and today (mother's day - before the wife woke up) installed the new bimini top. It is coming along...next furniture and the console - perhaps this week sometime.

I started installing the new furniture. The quality of the seats is exceptional! Thanks PontoonStuff!!!

B.Y.O.L.C. ---- Bring Your Own Lawn Chair....lol.  That's what I am going to do for the fishing area on the bow this season---maybe next year fishing seats will be in the budget. 

The seats you chose look great---how long till you are on the water??

Hey S&E, Your rebuild is looking great.  Nice carpet...I found the same thing with the knees, and ankles.  After a day of installing seats and then doing some work on the stereo instal I found that the outside of both ankles was rubbed raw, , I was having so much fun working that I didn't even notice till the end of the day. 

I was wondering, I am seeing a lot of folks now with a picture with their forum name, how do you do that?

Jenn,

I am shooting for Memorial Day weekend to get the pontoon out on the water. I am trying to get the majority of the work done this week. I am running a marathon this weekend, so this weekend is not an option to work on the boat. I did finally get the graphics (they look awesome). And I will probably get those on once I complete the furniture install. I am working on it in spurts (after work) for a couple of hours daily. I still want to polish and wax the rails one time before I put on the graphics...

Alright, I got everything in except the console. I still need to wire it (perhaps tomorrow, if time permits). Here are a couple of pics...My son was helping me install the seats and I got him taking a well deserved break.

Slow-n-Easy

We are doing the same thing with the flip back/forth seat. We don't have enough room to put a bench behind our captian stand so we figured the flip seat would work for helm seat and then flip back for fishing! We just started putting our seats together today. So far, I really like the way the flip seat looks.

Nice job on your rebuild, it's looking great!

That would be an interesting poll---how many and what kind off pontoon injuries have you sustained....lol. 

Slow---you inpired me to replace the captains bucket seat I originally ordered with the flip back chair.  Thanks for the pics you have posted.

Hey Slow_n_easy, great looking toon. I got 1988 model looks just like yours. I have a question about the trailer. I am having a heck of a time getting a spare for my trailer I use the 20.5 X 8 x 10   5 bolt pattern and Tracker does't make that particular wheel anymore. Obviously I want the spare to be the same as the ones on the trailer. Have you had any experience with this problem?

Any and all help will be appreciated.
