Thanks man, I was inspired by your videos to take on the challenge of rebuilding the boat :)

[@duckfoxly8402]

Let me know if u found one I look for one to rebuild

[@tropicalitch3176]

this a deal of a lifetime engine its self is worth 4500 trailer 1500-2000 in my area (atlanta ga) no brainier. got yourself a great deal !!!!!!

[@davidwelday3276]

I see a lot of life left in that boat, but it is amazing how people let them go. A guy near me wants $20K for a 2014 Bennington that he let get sun scorched, has dented fencing, and who knows what else. It would cost 5 or 6K in re-doing the seats.

I am looking for the same project to do over the winter. Need to ask around

[@oldmustang-1969]

I'm looking at a older 20' left out to rot the seats and carpet. This boat and most others use aluminum sheet for the rails which is dinged up and needing to replace it. The material is 5K gutter coil stock. Find your local gutter installer and choose a color & simply pop rivet it on.

Thanks!

[@richmac918]

$1400 for this is a great deal. I've been looking but everything I find that looks like this is $4K or $5K, most without trailers. Additionally they all seem to have small outboards (40Hp) which are completely useless. The beauty of pontoon boats (as long as they are structurally sound) is that they are an easy fix. If the engine runs and you're willing to put some elbow grease and $4k or $5K into it you'll have your self a sweet ride.

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]

Thanks! I thought it was a good deal. Motor runs really well, got it running on the next video. Lots of elbow grease needed :)

yessir we reach the Oklahoma side of youtube

I just bought a 1983 24ft for $300 gonna restore it, the engine has good compression, steering is stuck and someone had no clue as to wire a boat and neither do I .. but it should be a fun project

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]

That's a great find! I'm doing the deck and wiring this weekend. It should be fun :)
Let me know when you want to purchase furniture or pontoon accessories. We can have the folks at www.pontoonstuff.com hook you up with a discount code. Happy Restoring!!

[@BD-oo6ru]

Like most boats you really pay for the motor. $1400 for a Yamaha four stroke 90... Is a complete score. Nice buy!

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]

Yup, thats right! It was a great deal!

[@angiemiller5498]

Do you have any old parts that you removed? We also have a G3

[@wesleybryan238]

Cheers!

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]

They work perfectly!

[@liftedoff3263]

How much was the boat brother

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]

$1400 with trailer.

[@dagooglenet]

@@pontoonboatrestoration6432 in Canada this boat in that condition would be 14K ;)))

@@dagooglenet exactly or places like north idahoe. Idiots paying top dollar for junk.

[@benrichards9667]

Got damn, what a toilet boat. But they usually always rebuildable. 🙄

[@pontoonboatrestoration6432]
