I’m officially old - so I’m looking for a decent pontoon to replace our family ski boat. Like you said, nothing available. One popped up for sale by owner about 50 miles away. I got 2 year old pictures. The boat is in his boat dealer’s storage warehouse so buried that we couldn’t get in to see it. The dealer had done the maintenance on the boat. Based on the pictures, the owner’s word, and maintenance records, I bought it. I was lucky. I was the first to respond to his ad. When we signed papers, he showed me his phone. There were over 40 messages in one day, several offering to buy the boat without seeing it.

I’ll see what I bought around April 1st to 15th when the boats start moving out to get ready for the season.

The boat, a 22ft Premier Pontoon with a 90hp Honda outboard and trailer.

Memories! I haven’t been on that lift since the late 1970’s.

One of my roommates had his bachelor party in Three Lakes. It was at a bar/restaurant with sleeping rooms upstairs. We rented all of the rooms. At bar time, the owner locked the doors, put a bucket on the bar (for us to pay), and went home.

We started camping at Jellystone 15 years ago. Like you, we fell in love with the area. We bought in town two years ago. We put our house on the market last week to permanently move there. As Cowboy (local musician) says, “there’s something in the water”.

Currently, there are no pins in town. But soon there will be a few in my garage.

Saturday on the Wolf River? Between the high water and strong winds out of the north, I saw plenty of people have problems trying to dock.

First boat to head out on the still half frozen over Wolf River upstream in Fremont last weekend.

I’ve got to look, have I ever had a boat issue fixed for under $400?

Water level is back to normal - even considering how much rain the area has gotten. White Bass are biting like crazy on the south side of town, moving up toward Partridge Lake now.

Since last fall, we moved - again. We’re right in the heart of downtown now, just south of the Webfooters.
