Great looking redo.
Great work Don! You’ll probably like it so much that you may just sell me your other boat !:Rofl:Rofl :pray
Until I get to old to use the other boat it has got a home.
Great looking pontoon Don.
Don, thanks for the update on your refurbing job on the pontoon. Looks great and now you can get back to fishing in fashion. Be glad to see you up here soon in action day or night time. :highfive
Great work, too pretty to use now. Like a new truck

Don, It's looking good! I'd really like to get the 3rd toon on mine, was it a lot of work getting it bolted up?
Looks real nice.
I thought about trying to install it but changed my mind and let a welding shop bolt it up. Cost $240.00 for them to do it. Not a lot of room under there to work and my fat butt would not fit under there. It cost 940.00 to buy it and get it installed plus gas to go to Wilmington N.C.Quote:

Nice looking refurb. You've got one thing that's peaking my curiosity: The rod holders mounted to the front of the T-Top?
That came out nice don

Don, that looks awesome!!! You out did yourself on this one. Looks like you have yourself a fishing machine now!! I like the addition of the third toon and I also like the T-top with center console layout. I know you will enjoy the heck out of it. Thanks for sharing
Very nice looking toon Don!
I bought the t top off eBay and I thought it was only the t top but it also had the rod holders and an electronics box and an antenna mount. I did not want the rod holders but they will only fit a dolphin t top so I installed them up front for now. I was thinking about chasing schooling stripers this winter. The t top was the best buy I have ever made.
I like the idea of front mounted rod holders. I fished with a guide sometime back and I brought a couple of my personal rods to use. He put them in the holders up top in the back of the T-top. You know they call them things "Rocket Launchers" for a reason! if not for my buddy's quick eye and reflex my rods would have sailed out the back of the boat. He caught them as they came out of the holders. We were doing about 50 at the time.
Shouldn't happen with them mounted on the front.
Looks great really like the t top

I don't own a toon. Why would you want a 3d float tube?

More speed, more weight capacity, can handle a bigger motor and more stable. That are the biggest advantages.
Great looking rig. Do you happen to know the overall height when on the trailer? I would love to build a boat barn with enough clearance for a hard top or t-top tritoon like that.
Don't know but will measure and post for you
Very nice work brother. You done good. Now, as others have said: Go and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
To be sure and get plenty of clearance you should go at least 13 ft.
That's around the height I was thinking. Thanks for checking! Great job on your boat project, looks fantastic.Quote:

Nice job and nice that you added the 3rd toon. Now I need to add the rod holder up front and back and learn a few things other than single pole. Good fishing!
Or get a hinged break-down fabricated for storage/trailering.:twocentsQuote:

Very nice looking rig! Can’t beat the open floor plan and room a pontoon provides. I have that same Johnsuki 140 HP OB. Been a great motor for me! Starting to see a lot more CC pontoons. Excellent fishing platforms, especially with how well todays TMs move them along and hold them in place. Best of luck with it.
