We have an Aqua Patio pontoon boat and were trying to think of names. Any ideas? We were thinking of Tooon It Up. (3 Os because it has 3 toons.)

Can my Deep V boat trailer be made to handle a pontoon boat?
smithmountainlake_firstboatride-2

I have a 15'6" old aluminum Deep V fishing boat and we are looking at an old 16' aqua patio but we'll need to trailer it. Will a standard 2 rail crank up galvinized trailer hold this safely?


Pontoon trailers are "different'. You would be better off looking for a pontoon trailer. If your only going to use it once, to get the aqua patio to your lake, I'd bolt a couple long boards on the current trailer, tie the boat down really well, and safely move it. Keep in mind that the wheel base would be narrower and `it will be tippy, but by being extra careful, it'll work for a short distance.

Short Block, Long Block, New or Anchor?
smithmountainlake_thirdboatride-18

I have a Volvo Penta 135hp inboard in a 24 foot '98 Godfrey Aqua-Patio pontoon boat. I lost the impeller and overheated the engine. Compression tests in #2 indicated head work was needed, so I did it. After machining the head, I still don't have good compression. The person doing the work suspects a cracked block.

1. Should we have known that before machining the head?

2. What option is best at this point and are these good prices (includes work done to this point)? His suggestions are:

-Short block for $3500 (saving my newly machined head) and a 6 mo warranty
-Long block for $4000 and an 18 mo warranty
-Brand new for $5000 (or more)
-Sell the boat as is for???

Thanks

The compression test should have been followed with a leak-down test, to correctly identify the compression loss. Your tech jumped the gun on this one. He should know that an overheat almost always causes piston and block damage.

3500 for a short block is way high. 4000 for a long block, installed and running, with warranty is better.

The boat really isn't worth much if it doesn't run .


Aqua Patio 200 - 2011

Coming this winter! Some photos are for display purposes only. Stocked boat colours and options may vary. Check the OVERVIEW tab for the exact colours and options on our ordered boat! Custom playpen cover keeps your boat out of the elements! The Aqua Patio 200 comes with support poles to repel moisture and cut-outs to go around the bimini top so you can install the playpen cover while the bimini is either collapsed or expanded. The playpen cover on the AP 200 snaps over the furniture on the sides, and all the way over the railing to the deck at boat the bow and stern. With this design, the front deck stays out of the sun and water is kept off the front deck when the cover is installed. With...
