Looking into buying a used pontoon boat for the family. I had planned/hoped on getting a new jet boat soon, but after my camping trip this past weekend I think I need to keep my trusty jet boat for the river and get something different for on my local lakes. A pontoon seems perfect. Nice stable platform for me and the family plus some, can still do all kinds of fishing off of it, pull tubes or a skier, it can have a top to keep some shade, or just cruise around playing some tunes. I'd imagine they would do well in rough water.

Any brands to give favor to or particularly avoid? I'll be looking for used, or maybe even "abused" and rennivte it.
