Moj' and RainDog ready for retirement & OutBd Q's

Well, Moj' and I took a major leap forward towards old age.

We now co-own a pontoon.

It was cheap, it ain't pretty and is all covered in sea gull crap. But it should clean up pretty well.

And it is accented in lovely array of vage pink.

It is primarily an insurance policy. It is a boat our wives can take out anytime and if they bounce it off a pier, no worries. The kids are now allowed snacks on the water that have some color in them. Bring on the Cheetos!

Anyone know where I can get marine rated shag carpet?

Where is a good place to Johnson outboard parts like carb rebuild kits and misc? The engine is a 1990 V4 90HP. Starts good and runs at speed OK but a little rough at idle.

I can't believe you guy's wives let you get away with that. Once they become proficient in it's use, they will want to move up to the Nautiques, so it's just a matter of time anyway.

I was part owner of a pontoon for about 15 years. My brothers and I bought it just so we wouldn't abuse our Century. That's probably a big reason why it's still so nice.

Tim, I've got a great service manual for the 9.9 if you ever need it.

Yeah, I believe that it was a form of red colors that have faded to a nice shade of vage pink... So when you see the name going down the side that says "POONTIQUE" it will fit right in hahahaha...

Bring on the cosmo spills and the BBQ doritos.. Doing our part to save a 210 and 211 from sure disaster hahaha

I had a OMC V4, never did idle good. I was told to adjust the idle mixture when it is in reverse, maybe that will help you some.

Mine also had a bad exhaust gasket & was recirculating exhaust back to the carb.

any pics yet to show?

So your going to float the keg over to Norweigian bay on this thing during GL10?

I guess I am lucky. Patti is a great driver. She is probably the the best woman driver in our club. I know she does a great job whether skiing or footing. Not afraid to pull multiples either. Found out she gots lots better when I quit hollering at her.

My brother and my friend Ralph both have pontoons on Norris lake. We have a blast on either of them. Let the fun begin!

This is the best news i've heard since attending my first CCFan GL outing in '07. Congrats and thanks guys!! Now i'm released of the self-imposed obligation to rent a darn pontoon every year as a central base (actually it was for the dogs). I was hoping to have the 65 Tournament Skier cleaned up in time for GL '10, and it's almost as big and wide as a pontoon.

hahaha, bring on the dogs Reid, no problem... They can clean up the cheetos left behind from the kids... haha.

Dog entertainers are available for hire at GL. 3 for the price of one. $1 per hour plus expenses for doggie biscuits, chew toys, tennis balls etc. Dogs must be in good health and be comfortable around loud noises and high pitch squeals.
