Here is some pontoon boat info;

Not a rant, just a observation and comments. Point? Re-read the post.
Flybinder- I agree 100% with you about reading posts. My comment wasn't directed to you. It was your quote- here it is again "A friend of mine, has a brand new, D.S. boat, with that "rear deck w/built in motor mount", on Dave's list and when he hung his 28# thrust, electric on this "best in the industry motor mount", the weight of the motor alone, BENT the cheap aluminum diamond plate. He had to cross mount a 2x4 against the "motor mount" to support his Minnkota."
No where did I mention you did it. If it came across as such, I apologize to you.
Scadden is a boat builder and promoter of his boats. Best in the industry? I don't know if it is or not. If I were to buy a Scadden boat, I would naturally look at the advantages that his boat has over another brand. Hopefully in person, or talking to others that have that boat, not just by reading the propaganda that is put out by the manufacturer.
One more question to Murphy/Avalon- Does the material the 'toons are made of make a difference in the overall capacity of the boat? Example- you have three 9' boats. Same diameter pontoons. Same length. One boat has urethane bladders, one has PVC, the other is bladderless. Is the capacity the same for all boats?
You know, I posted my take on the Navigator II on another forum earlier this year and it took on a similar direction.
Two posters felt the NEED to bash NFO and then me. I don't know why those TWO felt this need other than to maybe prove they were BETTER, or SMARTER, or to just show they didn't care for Scadden for one reason or another (I am betting they never owned a Scadden either)
But as I said that was another FORUM.
Also similar is that the post started off HARMLESS and just what I experienced and like so I thought I would share. Ducksterman and I SHARE this subject.
Daves ads are to people interested in purchaseing a pontoon or tube and he shows all the wonderful things you can do with them (provided you have the skills)
EVERY MANUFACTURE DOES THIS!
I get so tired of BUZZ killers, but there seems to be a lot of Un happy people that get off on that.
One more thing, I bought a brand new boat (Alumicraft) a few years ago and the motor (Mercury) a few years ago. When I went to pick up the boat, the gentleman that owned the shop told me I needed to go get a CHUNK OF WOOD to put under the motor mount or it would eventually pull the back of the boat off. Alumicraft stated it was MOTOR READY. Thanks to one man that didn't happen and maybe that is why I knew I had to add "WOOD" to Daves. Plus boat manufacturers don't seem to have any wood lying around. Yes, Dave needs to tell people this if nothing else, to cut down on returns.
Ducksterman, you got my idea on this post, so I feel we are done here.
However, the rest of you can stay and play around some more.
Capt. Billy,
It would seem to me that the materials used would have little bearing on displacement. Air volume equals water displacement. I dont see how material can alter that fact. Then again, I'm no mathematical whiz either!
