24 Foot Pontoon Boat

I would like to be able to work on the boat in my driveway in my driveway I am looking for any suggestions on how to set it on blocks thanks!!

When I worked for a Boat Dealer when a teenager, we used large solid styrofoam blocks, not sure where you may get those. You may try wood and make like a 2'x2' foot pad with some old carpet on top. I would be afraid a narrow block may dent the pontoons from the weight. But, you should be able to figure this out. You could go to a marina or boat dealer and may see how they block theirs for a better idea. The hard part will be getting it off the trailer. You need to slide the boat back on the trailer so you can block the back and then slowly pull the trailer out blocking again maybe every 6 feet. You could tie a rope to a tree and boat and pull forward with your truck/car. Get the back about 3 feet off the trailer then move to the driveway. IF, there a place to tie the rope in your Garage/Driveway you just do it all there. If, you can do it in the drive, you just keep it tied and slowly pull foward setting blocks where needed. As the weight on the back gets to the correct point it will raise in front until the blocks catch it. I would have my blocks as high as possiable. This make Trailering later easier. To retrailer later you may have to disconnect the trailer from the truck and raise the tounge in the air to start under the boat. Then attach the winch and start winching onto the trailer.once it gets under the boat a few feet try having some help and push the tounge down and hitch to your truck OR keep winching until you can Teeter the tounge to the ground, this gives you a downhill angle and help the boat roll on easier as you winch and then hitch up to your truck. This the best way I know without a lot of equipment. Some people rig up jacks similar to those used for those in bed Campers on a truck.

You will probably never find them. Best option is to visit the website of whoever manufactured your boat and see if you can find one there. If not, contact your local dealer.

I have a 24 foot pontoon boat. It is a 1988 Weere's brand.The aluminum on the railings are already painted a light tan and brown, and I would like to update the color some. The aluminum has a pitted look, not smooth to the touch, so I don't know about the sanding part. Any info would be great. Where do I start? Thanks.

you will have to sand then primer it

I just bought my first boat - a 24 foot pontoon. I am putting together a list of items I should store on board, and I would like to know your ideas. So far I have - Life Jackets and Flotation Devices, Back up Battery pack, Gas can, Oil, Tools, 1st Aid Kit, 2 gallons of water, some rags, playing cards, Antibacterial soap, a blanket and some spare towels, bug spray, a flashlight, biodegradable tp (we have a potty) and some ponchos. Did I miss anything?
The boat actually came with Flare gun, whistle, and fire extinguisher, so we already have those.

Got a name for the boat? no rush, if you don't already have something in mind, wait until she reveals her personality.

Sun screen.
Couple or three dock lines and a tow rope.
Spare sunglasses, plus a couple extras for guests.

Spare fuses.
Spare primer bulb, fuel hose and clamps. And zip ties.
Spare spark plugs.
Electrical wire and connectors, crimper and wire stripper.

Anchor, chain and plenty of anchor line, and learn how to use 'em. (it's not difficult but seriously, read up on it...you'll be glad you did next time the motor won't start and the wind is pushing you into the riprap).

The ponchos are good for emergency back-up, but get yourself a good set of foul weather gear -- as captain you'll be out in the rain fixing whatever's broke while your guests are huddled under their ponchos. Trust me on this.

The whistle is a good back-up sound signalling device, but if the boat doesn't have a horn I'd add one of those aerosol air horns.

Snack bars (try to remember to rotate 'em out).

Couple or three cheap zebco spincast rods and some small jigs, in case small children come aboard they may want to do some fishing.

Dang, almost forgot........DUCK TAPE!!
