Sunk Pontoon Boat

XCR-700 · 08-31-2011, 10:58 PM

A little off topic

but I have never seen a double deck pontoon,,,

Is this common and I'm just not paying attention, or is this something new?

I dont think its uncommon, it just hasn't caught on as quick in NH. Very popular out west and down south. A friend of mine has one on Newfound. It has a water slide from the second floor to the water. It is quite the boat.

Also may have something to do with the bridges on Winni (Long Island, governor's etc) These boats are sometimes too high.

That is Dave of Dave's Motorboat Shoppe with his head down walking sort of towards the camera. He is a good guy and excellent mechanic. He should run for mayor of Gilford because whenever I'm at those docks with him he literally knows everyone there.

Anyone know what kind of pontoon boat that is?

I think it is a Premier. I believe it is usually moored over near Jolly Island. It used to park in Glendale yacht club at one time if it is the one I am thinking of.

Premier makes double deckers right up to 31', some with twin 250's on them. They are called the Boundary Waters series. This one is smaller, probably 27'.

And it looks like the barge he's walking on belongs to Island Service Corp., based out of Shep Brown's.

That was funny and nobody caught on. However I suspect that an I/O pontoon boat might have a bilge pump, but as a owner of a outboard pontoon boat we make jokes about bildge pumps on it.

The bilge pump comment was made in reference to the Donzi pictured in the third post of this thread.

If I'm not mistaken --

My wife and I saw that pontoon boat apparently washed ashore and listing badly early Monday Morning on Jolly Island (East side). When we returned Tuesday to show friends it was gone --- now I know where to
