Nice, nothing wrong with that! I would have loved a 140 on my last toon. Toons are defiantly the way to go. I use mine in the bay and gulf here at galveston, hopefully this boat will be able to keep us out all day with out being wore out at the end of the day!

Sure, can he bend 1-1/4" square tubeing? I only need 4 bends everything else is just mig or tig the joints!

I'm wating on a few quotes on building custom fence rails, I need a custom set built to accept the layout I'm planning on doing... This boat will have a nice recliner fishing chair in all four corners, it will also have nice couches midship for relaxing.. Twin automatic Bimini tops to shade the...

You might of noticed that I removed the carpet and the vinyl teak that was on the stern. IMO carpet belongs in a home not on a boat so I removed it, the teak was ok but it had a bunch of holes and such from the previous furniture that was installed. I found a killer deal on 28' of new mahogany...

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on here. You might remember I built the 24' pontoon and a 18' mod v, Now I'm on another project. I have a few connections in the pontoon world and I had a guy looking for a big tritoon chassis for me. I bought this boat in Elkhart Indiana at the southbay...

I tinkered with the boat a bit today, I have been working on a mount for the controls so I could mount them on the correct (starboard) side of the console, but after battling it I decided to just mount them on the port side. I know it not the correct way but I'm left handed and I'm selling it so...

A 225 would be awesome on a toon of the size your going with... I'm really looking foward to it!!!

Thanks Dave, will do

Sounds good Dave, let me know if I can help with the toon build.... I will put my new build on here once I start on it, I'm still trying to finish my 1860 so I can sell it and help fund the new toon... I put my last toon build on here also.

Put my boat back in the pond today and cranked my engine, it started on the 3rd or 4th try (hasn't been started in a year or so) it ran great for a few minutes then it revved up and stayed there... I let it sit for awhile and tried again idled great for about 15 seconds then reved way up...

Awesome Dave, I'm really looking forward to the pontoon build since I'm a toon fanatic and all! My new southbay chassis is a lot like your talking about, tritoon, lifting strakes, ski locker, big beefy transom (mine is 300hp) but my boat is 27-1/2' long... You might consider just buying the...

I got some work done this weekend, I've got my gas tank in place and about half way hooked up, I need a vent hose and to rune the wires to the sender.... I also FINALLY got all my floor panels wrapped in carpet, I'm not going to bolt them down until I'm completely finished though.... I did fab a...

Me to, I've been wanting a big tritoon for along time and finally made it happen.... I got lucky enough to get exactly what I wanted so its gonna be my dream boat!

Nice, looking forward to the progress... Maybe I'll see you on the water one day, once I finish my tritoon!

Yes sir the 557's are bad for sure... I'd love to have a set on a big offshore boat, but I don't have country Dave's kind of money....lol

Ha ya I wish I had money, I've just got good credit...lol....Lowe2070cc thanks for the link, I've got my mind pretty much set on a brand new engine though.. I plan on keeping this boat for a LONG time so if I can afford it it's going to get the best of everything... Big wave I have to draw the...

Yea I've got the tritoon on the other forum, I haven't started on it yet though... The boat is rated at 300hp so I figured I might as well go for it, but if I see a good deal on a 250verado that'll do also but im not going any smaller... The 300 at my local BPS it about $20,000 but that's before...

Thanks guys, ya I've been a lil MIA for a few months... I kinda just stopped working on this boat because I was using my pontoon boat to fish pretty much every weekend.. I have since sold that toon and bought a 28' peformance tritoon hull (you can see it in one of my pics) that will have a 300hp...

Got some of the floor pieces wrapped in carpet the other day... It looked better than I thought it would... Looking forward to getting the rest finished.

I floated my boat again yesterday to see how it was going to set with the floor in and engine mounted... Considering I had the batteries small trolling motor and empty gas tank all back there it sat quite well... I had my wife and son join me and it handled the total load very well also.. So now...
