[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3777457, member: 49831"] So I’ll be trying to meet him at a lake. Hopefully the 16’ is just going to be my small fishing boat. I want a pontoon but having never had a boat, I wanted to start small. I tried to sit in a canoe and just laughed because that wasn’t gonna happen. Even my wife and I are pushing capacity on the 12 footers. I don’t have much experience with speed on water. Our community has a private boat launch that meets up with my cove pretty quickly, but my cove is pretty shallow. I’m not an “in a hurry” kind of guy. So taking 3-5 hours to get around a lake isn’t a big deal. As long as I take my son with me, my wife is happy for the break. 😂. I’m wanting a 22’ pontoon for more family practical time, buts that down the way when I know how to maintain a boat properly and the ins and outs of owning one for a more realistic budget. [/QUOTE]
