Just FYI... As I was traveling from Illinois to South Dakota, to Montana and back recently; I decided to stop by Protatch in Nebraska to check out their small pontoon boats. I didn't have the number and couldn't remember their name; but thought I had seen their advertisement in PondBoss. I had a PondBoss magazine with me, hunted up the PondBoss world headquarters phone number, and called. Two of the ladies and Bob himself tried to help come up with the boat manufacturer's name and phone number. This is just a public "thank you" to those ladies and Bob for their help. They're good people.

The six degrees of Condello strike again.

On the trip... on a Saturday, I called the Protatch number and left a message. Kevin called me back. Then Dan (their salesperson) and I arranged to meet on a Sunday to look at one of their boats. They were out of stock at the moment; but a customer had two of them just outside town. We went there, checked out one of their boats, were invited into their (very nice) home for something to drink & a tour. After we returned, Dan worked with us on ordering a boat and etc. Very nice, low pressure sales approach.

I've seen several of their pontoons in the past. They look really solid.
