[cool]The pontoon I own is one of the first that were built by a company out of Brigham City, UT now gone. To get the oar locks I had to have them made by a local company, they did a real good job. The fish finder I use is the Fishin Buddy III. I can take up to two to three rods out with me using the accessory that velcroes onto the frame. I have a clamp on battery powered white light for night jobs, and to finish it off a nice little anchor system that I developed, has a bag, 100' of rope, anchor, and a way to keep the line in check with a clothes line holder. Next is to find a way to mount a motor and a small rack onto it. Also when I put the oars on it, I wasn't sure what length to get so I got the 7' ones. Bad idea now I am wishing for the 5'-6' ones. Also need to redesign my foot rests that I built for it. Not strong enough. Otherwise it is all decked out. But every now and then I see something that looks neat, and my design strategy starts changing. Hmmmm, now what else can I make it look good with. Working on an idea to tow my 5 year old around in a tube with it too.
