A Pontoon Boat with Generations of History
The Clement Libbey family realized their beloved boat had been cobbled together with repairs for far too long. They saw an opportunity to breathe life into their pontoon, so they came together and committed to restoring it as a group—bringing back both function and beauty. Plus, it was a great opportunity to bond as a family!
Building a New Pontoon Right from Your Screen
Over the course of 2 months, this dedicated family came together to tackle the biggest changes and hardest work, which included brand new decking and carpet, plus the installation of some new DeckMate boat seats and a table upgrade. A fresh layer of paint topped off this restoration and had their boat looking good as new.
An Easy, Breezy Boat Restoration
Due to the scope of their renovation, the family didn’t have any major setbacks. According to them, the hardest part was simply getting started. Once underway, the project moved quickly, thanks to easy-to-install furniture and accessories.
The lack of setbacks can also be attributed to solid planning before they began their build. Using PontoonStuff’s 3D builder tool, the Clement Libbey family carefully planned their entire layout before diving into the actual build—making the process smoother, easier to budget for, and much more rewarding!
