Bob's angry brother? He paints pissed off trees I bet.

I am really not too sure what I am looking for. The primary water is smaller creeks and lakes but do connect to the big lake. Probably something in the 18ft range, wife likes a pontoon, I am not sure that I don’t want something a little more maneuverable. I need to figure out how deep our little creek is, there were a couple pontoons within view, not sure what else is around. We’ll start with something older and see how much we use it and for what and then see what we decide in the future.

One of our neighbours has this:

I really like our 18' pontoon.
It doesn't draft nearly as much water as our old 24' did, and way less than the 17' bay boat we just sold.

Boats are so dumb Gary...
Honestly, get you some big wide sit-on roto-mould kayaks to start with. You'll be able to launch them straight off the Skeeter Shack lawn, and assuming you and T don't have upper body rigor mortis, the power plant will always go. Sure, you'll get a damp butt, but they're light, inexpensiveish and easily put back away if the weather changes, which it will.
On the other hand...Cheap, older power boats have very high potential for rot in the timber that hides inside the fibreglass, its almost guaranteed in the transom in fact. Also, despite the inherent reliability of the two stroke design, old 2M outboards do not like long spells between use and can be total a-holes to start on the wrong day.
Additionally, nothing kills a marriage faster than a poor launch or retrieve session. If your ramp (dock?) does not have good floating pontoons and wind protection, then someone is going to get a wet arse and risk the boat blowing over or away from them, if they are lucky enough to be the one who can't back a trailer. Yelling and refusal to participate nearly always follow.
Ease in bro. Nothing beats a great day on the water, but they are few and far between, and a lot of prep goes in to making it as seamless as possible.

Well said Adam. You might be a boat poet!

Update on the Heep.
Bought a code scanner and hooked that puppy up.
Code B2204 popped up and will not go away.
Wireless control module that reads the chip in the ignition key died.
I could possibly replace it myself, but I'll need the PIN for it that only the dealer can provide, so its getting hauled in.

Boats are higher maintenance than women.

Today i went in for a routine checkup.
I have elevated blood pressure, slightly higher prostate and kidneys not working well.
I was feeling fine till the doctor visit.

Fuggin chips in everything. Debit cards, car keys, produce, pets. They take this s_word too far. Al because a battery for memory retention dies and you unplug the battery. Wtf? Sorry dude, this frosts my azz!

On another note, the cub fired up today. Will go through the fuel system to make it stay running. Progress has been made. Cause it has no chips! Magneto and that's it.

Glad you went in for a servicing for sure sir. Meds have come a long way on those issues. I'm in the same canoe with you except for kidney functions. Surprisingly still good even with diabetics.
Getting old sux and more maintenance required. Stick with the diagnosis and treatments.

Not sure if that's what caused Brent's issue Larry. But they do make a 9 vdc powered cigarette adapter plug to keep controller's memory, clock functions, and other items when battery disconnects occur during service work.

Fuggin Fiat. That's what caused it.

Has anyone heard from Todd @Stihl working Hard lately? Thought of him this morning while working on ordering some ceiling fans from an Australian company.

Just sent him an email with Stihl 382 ipl and service manual. Will see if he replies.
