Does anyone know where I can buy this cabinet for my pontoon?

I'm looking for bow cabinets for my new pontoon. The pontoon manufacter won't sell to the public, you must buy through the dealer. I asked the dealer the price on them 3 weeks ago, still have not received an answer. I called them last week, was told they would call me when they received a price.

So I am looking to buy them anywhere I can find them. Colors might not match but that's something i don't worry much about. Here is the picture of the cabinet.

Attachment 408328

So I will appreciate it if anybody knows a company that sells them to the public.

I can't help you. But I can sure why you would want it. That's snazzy.

Thanks. They don't show it. I emailed them to ask if they sell them or could get them.

I have found out that Veada Industries has them under the Clipper brand but have not found a way to order them. I can't find their web site.

Here's one similar, but it looks like Tracker and Ranger both use the same one you listed so maybe check with one of those dealers.

Thanks, I knew Tracker had them and am planning on going to their parts department Wednesday to see if they will sell them. They don't always sell the furniture on their boats, or they didn't five years ago when I asked for my previous boat.

The one you show could be used if I can't find the ones I want.

If I can find a place to buy them I want the pair like the Tracker, one has a small live well on top and storage under the live well, the second one has battery storage for the other side to store the batteries for my trolling motor.

But it might be smarter to get a 20 gallon live well since the rear live well is more of a minnow live well than a fish live well. That price is only a fraction of the price Tracker will want if they will sell them.

Thanks, I saw that article. It doesn't say where you can buy them. I am going to try BassPro tomorrow afternoon. Maybe they will sell me a pair. Color won't much but that doesn't bother me.

Good looking cabinet

You will probably have to buy from the original pontoon manufacture just about every manufacture has a different radius on their corners
Im in the process of making some for my front corners but i dont the big live well in mine
I may fix mine for a bait bucket not sure yet

They make a port and starboard version. One contains the live well with storage under it and the other contains battery storage space for your trolling motor.

They will be nice to have. On my old boat I had a problem with space for batteries and my fish finders.

I tired to buy from them. They told me I had to order through the dealer where I bought the pontoon. So I asked the dealer for pricing when I picked up the pontoon. They told me they would call me when they got the pricing. A week later I called them to ask if they had had the pricing. They told me that they told me they would call when they received the pricing. That was two weeks ago.

I can't believe it takes that long to get pricing from the manufacturer, especially when the dealer salesman call the factory rep and got answers to some questions I had about the pontoon while I was sitting there. So last week I started searching for an alternative source.

I am hoping BassPro will sell me the cabinets. The colors won't match and they might not be a direct fit but they should be usable.

I'm 78. I can't do the things I could do when I was younger. I'm forced to pay to have things done that I never would have paid for in the past.

I might be forced to have them made but I would prefer to buy the hard plastic cabinets.

Hopefully you can find the one you want.
Ebay may also be a resource. Sometimes you can find items there that are not generally sold to the public

You might also check with local boat dealerships ... some have "graveyards" & sell pieces/parts from unsellable or damaged boats. :dono

Thanks. I had not thought of that.

I am going to Bass Pro this morning to see if they will sell me the cabinets. And of course while I am there I have a few other things I may want to pick up. :) I do most of my shopping online but it is hard to beat strolling up and down the fishing isles, looking for things I "might" use in the future. I'm not a shopper myself but I do make an exception for the fishing isles.:biggrin

bought my cabinets this morning at Bass Pro. They are not as tall as the Veranda cabinets but they will work. If necessary I will have a base built for them.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Glad to hear you found your cabinets.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a tall faucet on top in the back that would swivel around to wash your hands and such?
Like the Delta Waterfall faucet I have in the kitchen that has the pull out head to rinse with.
Oh, wait a minute - and a cute little soap dispenser, a towel rack...

You are on to something there

That's something to think about. :Rofl Right now I keep a hand towel fastened to the rail in front of me to clean my hands or to unhook the occasional catfish I catch..

Right now I will be happy to have a place to store the three trolling batteries up front and a better place to mount my Livescope unit with the module and batteries for it.

We would love to see photos of the finished product

I will post a picture when it is finished. Bass Pro parts told me it would be 2-3 weeks for the cabinets if they have them in stock, 2-3 months if they had to manufacture them. The Force tm is due in this week from Limits Tackle, the seats are due in 2-3 weeks.

The project is coming together but not as fast as I wish.

Once I get the tm installed I am going to use lawn chairs until the seats arrive. :Rofl

Just call those lawn chairs open concept seating.

I actually went to Bass Pro a few weeks ago and priced these. It was looking like they would cost around $350 each. They come in individual pieces. Try talking to bass pro at the parts counter. Use the serial number off of a bass buggy they have on display. I remember the lid alone was around 180 and 120 for the tank with the insert. Add plumbing and switches and you’re all set. I have since abandoned this idea on my boat. Planning to redo it in the upcoming years with a center console with a built in live well.

Then I was overcharged. They were $420 each, over $900 for the pair with tax. But they were priced as a unit so that price may have included the plumbing, etc. I didn't ask, I was too glad to get them.

They are not as tall as those used by Varanda but I can have a base made if they are not tall enough when I get them on the boat.

Bad thing is it will take 2-3 weeks if they have them in stock, 2-3 months if they must manufacture them.

Yeah man I didn’t look into all of it. It was around $300 for just the base and lid. That was all I needed to hear for me to leave lol

If it is for a boat it is expensive. They know they have us right where they want us
