I was at a customer's house on Lake Wylie in South Carolina to fix a door. Noticed she had a few boats tied up out back, asked if I may wander down the dock to have a look. She followed me out and I mentioned the upholstery was pretty far gone, she said she didn't think she could pay someone to haul it away.
I'm told it has 180 hrs on it. Boat is a 97 as well as the outboard. 50hp Honda four stroke. I noticed the battery cable housings were chewed up and bare cables touching each other. She said they went to use it one weekend and it didn't start... Hence the other new one.
I asked how much she wanted for it and she told me if I get rid of it by Saturday, (before her pool party) that I could have it for nothing. Now it's mine. Needs some work but there's not much to it. I rented a trailer from her neighbor and he towed me to his launch ramp and let me use the trailer to get it home for $100. That's all I've invested so far, waiting for the weekend to hear it run. I'm not thinking of trying to match paint and upholstery scheme for both boats.

that is 100% bad ass. that little 50hp motor probably isnt even enough to get across the lake if its windy out. hah. id say screw the upholstery... take some mexican blankets and cover the existing ripped stuff, staple/bungee em nice and tight and do it budget style. its a pontoon, its gonna sit outside. who cares?!?!

I might expect 23.7 mph. Don't care as long as beer is cold and bbq is hot. I'll find a way to mount the superjet on it if I wanna go fast for a minute.

A lot of things are going to go through my head when I hear that little outboard start up. Since I live right by the lake now, I've enjoyed using my stand up more than the boat. The boat is cool, clean and totally unique here. It's the only one like it. But it's seeming like I take it out for two hours and spend 3 hours cleaning it and drying all the water out of it. I would probably live to regret selling it after all the work and money I've put into it, but I think my boating style is changing. I've always watched pontoons on Craigslist her. Never in my wildest have I thought I'd actually buy one, let alone get one for the cost of a trailer rental.

Nice score, sell me the pontoon hahah

if it didnt cost 5000 in gas to truck it from NC to CA id be all over a free toon as well. imagine it with a sun deck and a water slide... AWWWW YEAH.

Battery, fuel line and trashcan full of water with some cleaner and purrs like a kitten. I'm in love with a Honda four stroke.
