well i sold my old pontoon boat and got this one last week. its an NRS frame with 10ft maxxon toons. we added the rear cargo deck and standing platform. the platform is 34"wide and 3' long.we added a nice anchor system. its deff a sweet ride and i cant wait to try it! oh and BTW all this work would have never gotten done (because i worked all week) but thanks to Bank Bum aka dad, he was able to get it all set up for me. heres some pics. enjoy Barbless....you might need some napkins to catch the drool  |

The new boat looks great Bob Jr.!  What material did you use for the back deck? |

Thats a great looking toon, but I'm curious about the front end of the frame. From the pictures it looks like it may be a bit unforgiving when stepping out of it, and is that lower bar the foot rest?
As stout as it looks I bet you could replace the seat and mount a recliner on that thing!

we used that electical conduet. EMT or EMC? something like that. and we put a dowel rod all the way through to help support more weight. as for the wood, i messed up and bought birch. dad told me the paint wouldnt last long on it. but it works for now

Oh and where's the mount for the motor? I bet that thing would scream with a 10 horse on the back You could even start a new race craze...like the Miss Budwiser River Edition |

No argument, the boat looks bullet proof! I'd love to watch it work the river. It's a really impressive design. How much does it weigh?

i see that it is in the dining room, it will fit through the door, right?
i once put together a large gas grill in the livingroom, and when i was done i couldnt get it out to the deck.

Yep,definitely a nice ride,Iam pretty happy for the boy,hope this new ride will help him out catch the old-man ..Finfollower,the recliner past my mind as well  ..Just about a year ago,we built a trailer to haul our 2-ODC 1018 boats,now the boys new boat is TOO wide for the trailer so ive been working on it as well,added a little storage underneath the deck I added to haul whatever we need,just about ready to roll,(remember,iam no good at pics)but here is the trailer we set up for the 1018`s & here is the almost done trailer for our new toons & one of juniors Toon set up & ready to roll  Standing Platform=34-1/2"wide x 39" long,as far as lbs,unknown yet,will hang on scale soon & let you know.Trailer is the same one,just re-did it. |
