Very cool man I have my boat but I am going to get a pontoon in the next year or so also, for those days I don't want to deal with everything that comes with my boat and just relax.

If you get some dimensions I bet my guy would cut and ship them if you are comfortable applying them

What would he all need? Length width where the doors are things like that?
I have the pontoon drawing up in CAD so it would be easy for me to make a detaield drawing for him.

I can apply them my self that not a big deal.

Awesome build man. Once you figure out a name it would look real nice painted down the side of the boat.

only thing I would add is a little orange in the black railings, like a pinstripe leading to a sun or something, very nice build I just think its a little to black, but its not mine to make that judgement, only advice/comment? ha

I thought about a 7.3 for about .1 secs then I realized that it would make to much power and I would win to many recorods. :hammer::hammer:

Have gotten a few things finshed up
Picked up 4 of these tires and rims for 200 bucks on CL, so once I finish getting my two axles made I will have rims and tires for them.

Got a custom cover made. I can not tell you how nice this is to have. I use to spend 1-2hrs a week clean the seats and vacuuming up all the tree crap the fell in the carpet. Now when I'm done with her I sweep her out real quick and throw the cover on her.

Last thing I just finshed up last night was a swim platfourm. I sent it out to get HardCoated this morning so hopefully will have final assembly done by the end of the week.
