Good luck!
Yes, but you already had a pontoon boat. The question is about renting a pontoon vs. an owned bow rider and $3300 to rent a 'toon for a week.
Recall when a pre-toddler learns to go down stairs "on his bum"? There are similar ways an elder or handicapped person can be mobile. Physical and Occupational therapists are experts at site visits and suggesting mobility solutions.
