All Tooned Up! - THX Horizon Motorsports!

[RiverDave]

Bought a Southbay Pontoon boat from Preston yesterday. He is a super easy guy to work with and even offered me a money back guarantee if I wasn't satisfied with the boat! (That's pretty unheard of in this industry). I can't say thank you enough to Preston and the staff over at Horizon, great guys to deal with.







Now we will start the "RDP Toon build". To make it a little more my style with the help of Wired For Sound, Safeglow Whips, and Livorsi marine.

 

[CanyonLakeDave]

Top notch at Horizon

Judging from the pictures he is embarrassed about the size of his whacker. What motor does it have?

 

[OutCole'd]

Trailer needs a couple more axles.

Congrats!:thumbsup

5.7 Volvo duo prop I/O. Runs 44 mph loaded.. Haven't tried it empty yet but I would think it would be close to 50.

The duo props are torquey little drives enjoy it. It looks nice

Congrats, enjoy!! I look forward to spilling beer in the back seat sooner or later lol.

Congrats and welcome to middle age with young kids club. Toons are the perfect solution for family fun on the water. Looks real nice with plenty of bimini coverage. Interesting how they applied the AZ numbers to the outside of the toon itself but that was really about the only place it would look right and be in compliance. Are the toons themselves painted also? They look way cleaner then mine.

There is no spilling in the toon.

 

[fishing fool]

I look forward to clean it soon

 

[renodaytona]

Congrats!

 

[gmnhra]

our previous premier had the Volvo duoprop setup...
great setup...zero issues...zero....turn key literally for 650 hrs....

went with the "trend" on the new bennington and did the verado but would have done the I/O if there was one on the lot...


welcome to the dark side....

Are you getting rid of or did you get rid of the Schiada?

Congratulations on the toon I look forward to hearing how you like it.

With that said I have a couple observations on the pics. First off what is that truck rated to pull because the ass end is sagging quite a bit. Aren't pontoons light?

And second, I think it's time to get some new pants, you've seen to have outgrown the ones you're wearing. Pretty bad high waters.

 

[RodnJen]

Congrats, we'll look for you on the water the next few days.:thumbsup

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Congrats on the new family truckster! Lots of great memories are about to be made on that boat! Enjoy!

 

[CobraDave]

Cool boat. Length / year / price?

 

[Boat Bling]

Congrats Dave!

[charlyox]

Congrats on the new ride R.D. :thumbsup
Great for the family.

 

[MrMayhem]

Welcome to the club amigo.

 

[underpressure]

Congrats on the new toon, give yourself a shirt...

Now, where's the "Toon Town" section?

 

[AzGeo]

Impellers are a breeze, and don't let it sit not running for more than 60 days, or the fuel pumps will act up . (Lucas fuel additive)

How about that "nano coating', for the whole boat ? Tubes, drive, seats, carpets, everything ..............

It's a lot of surface area to clean after use .

Had a toon (s) in the marina since 1986, and gave my slip to Paul Bruce when I finally had enough .

Clean, clean, clean, scrub, scrub, scrub .

Party on !

Please go unstuck your F350 from it's parking space.

Let the man get the proper hitch for is new boat trailer. That truck will pull that toon anywhere it ever has to go. He just needs a hitch with a different offset and it will also lower the weight on the tongue.

Congrats Dave enjoy it. Excited to see the upgrades

Yea the service on the Volvo penta stuff is EASY. Cheap, easy impeller to change, built in ports to run it on the hose, no mess cartridge oil filters. Only thing I didn't like with my SX drive was checking the drive oil level via the screw in dipstick on the top of the drive.

 

[Jimmy]

Did it come with a Margarita machine?

 

[RiverDave]

Cool boat. Length / year / price?

It's a 2007 C925 It was going to be listed for 51k.

I will get the interior pics tomorrow am. Pretty dark out right now.

No inside storage for the toon

 

[hallett21]

So will the schiada be losing the back seat and getting an LS this winter? [emoji6][emoji1303]

That's a really nice boat. Dunno how often you have driven a Duo Prop, but they are really nice around the docks. There's no torque steer because of the twin props, and I have found them to be easier to maneuver in tight spots.

Congratulations on a good looking ride.

 

[YoPengo]

Nice find Johnson. Looks really clean. Keep me posted on the BBQ set up. I'll need something soon.
