SAMIAM is Right!! Get something with a decent engine. The biggest bummer about pontoon boats is the lack of a enclosure in inclement weather. The season would and could be longer if you had a clear plastic surround to enclose the entire seating area therefore creating a room. That would be really nice but expensive!! Also consider a nice used local boat. Bennington is a really nice boat. Irwin or Channel Marine may sell those. Harris Kayot were sold over at Thurstons although I think they no longer sell them because of some conflict about the engine manufactor or something. Good Luck!!
