Boat Pontoon

I have a 1989 Scotty Boat pontoon boat and I was wondering if there is a easy, simple, and cheap way to resurface it. And also to put new walls or make new walls for the boat. Also the steering tower thing is all moldy and I would like to make a new one. Any help or guidance would be amazing:) thanks

For easy you simply take the boat to a quality repairer and try not to freak out at the eventual cost - for it will not be cheap. That is probably the simplest option as well.

For cheap you will have extensive skills and understanding in wood, coatings application, GRP sheet metal and non-ferrous metal work, all the tools and equipment needed, all the space needed in a secure workshop or yard somewhere and most of the materials to hand as seconds or freebies. You will also have time available to do the work, as the tasks you describe will take a while to plan and complete.

To attempt this with no previous knowledge may cause a fair bit of heartburn - it will be well worth investing in some books on the subject, and starting with a few small projects to gain some skills and experience.

There is nothing that you cannot do - but there is some effort needed to gain the knowledge needed to do it well enough. Take the time to gain the skills and you may find a new and very interesting pastime grows quicker than you think........

Presenting the music video for Pontoon Boat. Enjoy!

My pontoon boat needs a jump to get started. I have a motor cycle battery charger. The kind that you plug into an electric scocket in your home. Will it work on the boat. Thanks for any info on the matter.

If your motorcycle battery is 12 volt, the charger will work. Check the fluid level in the battery first, add distilled water to cover the plates if any are exposed. Then be sure to connect it to the battery first then plug it into the wall socket. When done, unplug it from the wall socket, then disconnect it from the battery.

We live on a 400 acre lake and want to purchase a pontoon boat. There are so many makes and models, I would appreciate your candid responses. Also, do you have a potty place on the boat? THANKS!

Bennington makes a good boat...solid construction, heavy/quality flooring, durable marine carpeting, thick/heavy gauge pontoons, nice level of finish, all hardware is nice quality, etc.
I've had my 23' for about four seasons now and have had zero problems.

Looking for information on how much just the pontoons weigh on a pontoon boat. Just those alone.
Thank you
If you don't have a "real" answer OR any real information to the question please quit posting and wasting time and space.
