over the last 3 years it has ben tuff was forced into retirment due to vision and other med problems, have ben dealing with catracts my field of vision droped down to 3 feet, yep that right i was blind , sunlight hurt , so i stayed inside, and after a long struggle, and 2 opperations later, i got my vision back, my wife asked what i wanted to do this summer and i say well i would like to do a bit of fishing again, she smiled and said, well why dont you get that pontoon you have wanted for a long time, so i started looking around and found a used on on a good trailer, with a new floor and carpet and a empty deck exactly what i wanted , i has allways had in mind to build one set up for night fishing, its ben a long slow process, i cant do the work i once did , its work a bit , and sit a bit but over the last 2 mounths, its came together its up and running very well and will be placed on a local slip in a week or 2, and all i can say is a huge thanks to the forum, the advice has helped a good bit , but its ben more than that, its just knowing that other people share my passion to enjoy the waters its helped to keep me going when the amount of work needed to be done was a bit overwhelming, but then i dont have to tell you all how good it feels to be out cruzing on a sunny day
