Can you post a picture of the boat? I reread the post and you said pontoon. Is it a Bass Buggy type? Manufacturer? I was making this assumption. The assume word you know.

Friend of mine got a 8 foot plastic bass buggy. You sit pretty high in it. 30 lb TM will throw your butt in the water. I know.... I ain't no lightweight myself.:o

I ain't trying to sell you anything but safety.
