flyingbrick Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 What did it cost you for the new pontoons? These boats seem ideal in many respects but I see second hand ones with tons of patches on the tube and it kinda scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Can get boat covers also if you require one. Your motor is sitting here ready to go, only pinched a few parts off it to give to Sentradave so it should still go. I can possibly put it back on over xmas break at some point if you're dying to get it back in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Nothing beats a custom made cover, except for an off the shelf one that'll only cost you a couple of hundred... We sell a lot of them and they seem to hold up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Only four years between updates haha. Did you end up doing anything with those "rod holders"? Looking pretty flash now though, gotta be happy with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Lol yeah i just bought some proper ones. In the 4 years i spent a load on the motor and caught lots of fish. I had managed to find and fix most of the pinholes but in the last 18 months the pvc must have reached a point of degradation. Most exciting was splitting a seam over on the far side of waiheke and losing one chamber. Mrs held onto the flappy pontoon and i hammered it back to the ramp lol had to keep it on the plane to keep pontoons out of the water through motihe channel ao lucky it was a flat day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
