Putting your pontoon to the test - drowning_flys - 05-04-2014 I thought Ron really pushed pontoons to there breaking point until i seen these two guys and there lab [] [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - flygoddess - 05-04-2014 And they are DRY! Crazy. What do they do if they hook a big one? I have a hard time standing on my Fuzion, let alone sharing it. Impressive pay load. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Putting your pontoon to the test - drowning_flys - 05-04-2014 Yea I was amazed at the dry part [laugh] [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - idahoron - 05-04-2014 Wow that is nuts! Ron [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - cpierce - 05-04-2014 Wow, something new everyday! I don't even see any oars. Did the dog paddle them out there? [signature] Re: [cpierce] Putting your pontoon to the test - flygoddess - 05-04-2014 No PFD's? I don't see a dog, but take your word for it. I particularly like what looks like a foot pump (bellows) by the gentleman with his back to you. Yup, that side looking a little low. [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - flygoddess - 05-04-2014 There was a post awhile back where someone bought a pontoon similar to this. The original owner extended the width of the frame and put a deck and pedestal seat. But, part I didn't understand at the time, the motor mount WAS where one oar went. I see a cable, so maybe this is that boat!? [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Putting your pontoon to the test - drowning_flys - 05-04-2014 I went and found another photo I guess it was not a lab as i really cropped this photo as it was along ways away. Nope no pfd and they had a couple paddles. They went all over. [signature] Re: [cpierce] Putting your pontoon to the test - drowning_flys - 05-04-2014 Lol I think the dog was just innocent bystander [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - CoyoteSpinner - 05-04-2014 [quote drowning_flys] Nope no pfd and they had a couple paddles. They went all over. [url "http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p296/adrenjunkey/pontoon-06985_zpsc50ec5ef.jpg[/IMG][/quote]"][/quote][/url] now if they all went over, they'd be in deep doggy doo. I thought PFD's were required? Bet they don't even have a mussel sticker. I'm guessing there's no big boats on this lake? One skier pass, the tiny ship'd be tossed. Re: [CoyoteSpinner] Putting your pontoon to the test - idahoron - 05-04-2014 A sticker is not required if they don't have a motor and under 10 or something like that. They do have to have a PFD within reach and whistle. Ron [signature] Re: [idahoron] Putting your pontoon to the test - dtayboyz - 05-04-2014 I think I know those guys. This is how mussels will get here. [signature] Re: [dtayboyz] Putting your pontoon to the test - idahoron - 05-04-2014 I think the most likely way mussels will get her is on a non resident boat going to a tourney or someone coming up on vacation, or someone that goes to Powell for a vacation and the comes home. Little POS's like that pontoon will probably never get out of the state to even get in water with mussels. Now crabs, that is a different story. [shocked] Ron [signature] Re: [idahoron] Putting your pontoon to the test - dtayboyz - 05-04-2014 It will be an anchor or a lure or a muddy boot or flipper or in a kayak. People with boats have been educated. Someone will drive past a check station thinking the law doesn't apply to them. Ignorant innocence. Anything that touches the water has potential. I still think I know these fellas. [signature] Re: [idahoron] Putting your pontoon to the test - flygoddess - 05-04-2014 Exactly...LOL But these guys SCREAM "dare me". After our trip out yesterday and the fast storm resulting in having to rescue a man and his small child from a sinking canoe, I see this as all sorts of DANGER. Specially for the pup. I just hear Forrest Gump's voice right here. [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Putting your pontoon to the test - AverysAdventure - 05-05-2014 You got to admire their determination to fish. I think I would have just wade fished the tullies myself. [signature] Re: [AverysAdventure] Putting your pontoon to the test - drowning_flys - 05-05-2014 Very true Have to give them an A for effort [laugh] [signature]
