Our Baby Pontoon

My husband loves anything that has to do with the water or outdoors.  Since we have bought our home on the lake he has managed to find/buy 3 different boats.  The most recent is what I refer to as our 'Baby Pontoon'.  Recently it has undergone a mini-makeover.  Enjoy the before and after pictures.

Driving the pontoon home.....

Railing Before the new paint job :-)



Railing after first round of new paint.... (Only one rail is painted fully in this picture, ignore the tape on the bottom rail that needs removed) 

 Side Note - we used Sherwin Williams Acrylic based paint.  This is suppose to be the most durable for items that are near water but not submerged.  We put on three coats for each color.


New marina board covering the toon's... this had to be water sealed (we used Thompson's water seal)


Next we needed to add some outdoor/indoor carpet.


Carpet's done, edging has been painted and re-attached and sides have been placed back on.  All that awaits is the custom seats that are currently being painted, motor to be attached and a day on the lake!!





If you have enjoyed our 'Baby Pontoon' makeover, make sure you check back throughout the winter!  We have our 'Grand Daddy Pontoon' (24' foot, originally a double decker) that will be undergoing a transformation.  Don't worry, this won't be happening in the snow but rather a nicely warmed barn.....  Posts for this boat will be more frequent and detailed!!
