Just got these pics from a friend that's there now. No other info.

Took me a little bit to actually find the bow in this one.

Zactly. Inquiring minds want to know.
Seen 'em get stuffed, why I love my closed bow, but a pontoon is by design, pretty hard to sink. Worked on a ton of Houseboats at Bridge Bay, never seen one sink. Bay area Renters would try, however. Lookout!!!

I'm so old, I only worked on steel. we'd add another section Aft, for Patio decks. Welder's Helper. 1979. I'd build out the decks.
I think the Log sections are vented?

Wonder if when they weld the toons if they are forgetting to drill a relief hole for the gases and air expansion inside the toon causing a crack to happen later down the river.

Our old toon had vented caps, we tapped in drains at each section and pull it once a year and drain the toons.

Fuck Me . . . I'd never throw a pic of my Ugly Fat-Ass Carcass on this place . . . or anywhere for that matter. 🤘


It didn’t look like any of these pics were selfies...

God forbid anyone say anything negative about GRADS, but let’s have a bunch of overweight, over the hill dudes on a boating site talk shit about some random women that do not even know they were being photographed in the first place.

I don’t care either way, let’s just not be a bunch of hypocrites that pretend to care about others. Let’s either care, or talk shit about everyone.
