[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 490194, member: 12995"] Look for rotted out floors, most the pontoons on the river around here have to replace the flooring over time since the carpeting or artificial turf on the flooring can trap moisture. Boats left in the (fresh) water around here need to have the pontoons scrubbed down several times during the season due to the algae buildup. So if you get a tri-toon 24-28' long, that's a lot of scrubbing! :lol: Do you plan on cooking out and eating on the boat? Pretty much everyone around here does, so they have picnic tables or gas grills located somewhere on the boat. I would get a boat with some amount of a roof (hardtop or tonneau) so you can hide from the sun if you need to. [/QUOTE]
