DD!, I'm glad to hear you liked the pontoon boats as I haven't been on one. You are right about the costs, metals have really gone up. I started with jon boat(extra wide), then really extra wide v-hull in trying to achieve stability, but have decided to spend the extra money on a pontoon boat..Plus, my wife really wanted one! Will build a dock out of PT lumber; justifying boat cost!? cause I really wanted an all-aluminum dock(ridiculous costs!!!)
