[cool][size 1][#0000ff]If anyone is in the shopping phase for buying a new pontoon, I have just completed putting together the pontoon shopping guide over on the Picture section of the Float Tubing Board.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There are pictures of most of the leading 'toons on the market today, along with basic specs...like sizes, prices, weight capacities, etc. I include links to manufacturers and/or suppliers' websites for each model, as well as a list of links at the front.[/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]Glad to be of service.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also just got the okay for an archive board, that I will be using to post links to hundreds of past threads (from several boards) on everything from fishing tackle, techniques, waters, species, etc. I will also be including links to good websites for info on some of those topics. I'll even be posting up a lot of my past writeups on different subjects, under their appropriate categories. [/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]There are a couple of different threads on the Picture Board for Float Tubing. Here are the links.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=200580;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread"]TRICKED OUT TUBES[/url][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff][url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=202637;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread"]SONAR SHOPPING GUIDE[/url][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The shopping guide has links to most of the manufacturers and to some "tutorials" on sonar too. I have some work to do, to include some of the newer models, but you should get a good idea.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Also, if you go to [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=184642;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread"]BEST OF THE BEST[/url] and scroll down to the links for SONAR, you will find links to a whole bunch of past threads on buying, installing and using sonar on tubes and toons.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Let me know if you have any specific questions or input on particular models.[/#0000ff]

thanks TD coincidentaly I purchaced a new toon today from a friend at work.
I allready have a bucks bag south fork and dont really need it but I couldn't turn down the price.
Its a trout unlimited 9' and its never been used. I paid $150 for it.
I think My brother inlaw will have a good birthday gift on our steelhead trip this year. He's been wanting one ever since I loaned him mine.

[cool][#0000ff]Congrats on your good score. Did you get the Colorado? TU puts out some good craft, but so does Bucks.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]This is a good time of year to find some deals, both from commercial outlets (store front or online) and from 'tooners who are either upgrading or who need money for Christmas.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]A good time of year to use them too. Lots of good open water fishing left before the hard deck covers the ponds.[/#0000ff]

Yes its the colorado, I'm sure my brother inlaw will enjoy it. I think the fact that he wont be sitting on shore watching me on my toon tormenting him will make him feel alot better about life LOL
