One nice thing about pontoon boats with an outboard, generally pretty near impossible to sink unless a catastrophic puncture of both tubes. Of course still vulnerable to hail damage, and they have their own limitations. Still, we sold our 23' ProSport and got a pontoon... last year...no regrets! It's perfect for an old guy on Champlain, our usual stomping grounds.
Quite an ambitious project, nice work!!
I rebuilt an 18' Starcraft cutty cabin once and it was maybe easier that this one!
You'll have a great little boat when done!
Like the color!
I had a '76 Chieftain once , same great hull, less deep V than an Islander and easier to plane
with less motor, ours had a '76 90hp E-rude on it. GLWS.
Tragic... they have the best product on the market in my opinion. Until the late' 90s OMC Evinrude + Johnson had more of the market than anyone and Evinrude essentially invented the practical outboard (not the Waterman). What a shame. I'll own Evinrudes and Johnsons until I'm in the grave I'm 70 so not that many years, hopefully can get parts LOL! Still. what a terrible end to a great legacy!
Hi: unfortunately I'm unable to drive for the foreseeable time due to severe polymyalgia, but I'm looking for a motor to put on a 16' aluminum boat project we hope to do someday... at 70 there aren't as many "somedays" as there used to be!
We do have a son in Cortland just S of Syracuse on I-81, and my wife could still "sort-of" drive to there (vision problems) if that would be a possibility.

Not sure the exact numbers, I'd guess the beam at 102" about. Its very similar size and weight to 22' Grady, except unlike Grady this boat has no wood to rot. 2 stroke motor, it's been super dependable.
