You can still get a basic one for that. But with nice guts, sound system, cockpit, and the loungers that face the stern, and a 250 or 300 Yamaha/Merc hanging off the back on what is considered the best brands of tritoons (Bennington, Avalon) you are there, easily.
The biggest problem with pontoon boats, is they are a bitch to put the cover on. We would come back after drinking on the lake, and no one ever wanted to put it on. That has more than likely hastened its demise. Of course, with no real skin in the game, that was bound to happen. I have been reassured that this new boat will get wiped down and covered every time it goes back in the slip. CHIEF Jr. is even ponying up for the slip cradle. Gonna pattern it off the trailer, and have a buddy from work, their lead welder and shop foreman, weld it up. I'll have to haul it on my gooseneck, to the lake, put it on styrofoam or blue plastic barrels and float it into place.
That Bennington has had a dozen kids on it every summer weekend since CHIEF Jr. was sixteen. When they all went off to college, they would come home and spend the summer on it. It has been puked on, puked in, puked under, and puked off of.
