So all you Pontooners!!

[steve092]

What would you guys recommend putting on a pontoon? I just ordered mine today and would like to know what else to get?
So far, I have the Pontoon, pump, rod holder, and repair kit.

What do you guys have on yours?

By the way, what are the laws regarding a trolling motor on one of those?

[fisherkid47]

I don't know much cause im a tuber, but if u get a trolling motor, im pretty sure you have to get it registered and I would also get an anchor, and a cooler if you have room.

[steve092]

I thought so on the registration.

Okay Steve, start with a decent personal flotation device, you will need a whistle or a small boat horn, a landing net and if your going to use it as a kickboat waders and fins. Other than that the possibilitys are endless.

OK, so I will definitely need a PFD, I have a whistle, and I have a net.
Nah, I pretty much and just gonna use the oars, and a trolling motor when I can operate it legally.
Speaking of legally, do you need to have a driver's license to operate a vessel with a trolling motor?

[fisherkid47]

No you don't, as long as the motor is electric your fine, and your over the age of 14.

Thanks for the info, I'm thinking about getting this http://http://www.walmart.com/catalo...uct_id=4016522

Which pontoon did you get? :lol:

[Ronira]

Hey Steve, don't buy that motor unless your sure the shaft is long enough. That one comes with a 28 inch shaft and I don't think you'll be happy with that.

[steve092]

So I take it, the longer the better?
Any recommendations under $125?
