I had the pleasure of give one of these boats away on our Float Tube Fishing Forum just recently. We have a annual toy drive for the spark of love, and Classic Accessories has for the last 4 year donated to the cause. I thought I would take a quick moment to give a small review about the Colorado Pontoon Boat. To start after receiving the pontoon boat at home I decided to build it so that I could take proper pictures for our members to know what they were competing for.
It is a fairly easy boat to build as I was able to have it together in the my living room with in an hour. Being the first Pontoon boat I had built I figure that is not to bad. you start with the pontoons and inflate to almost full capacity. The combination quick inflation/ deflation valves made inflation quick and simple these are a great improvement on the basic valves you still find on float tubes. After the pontoons are inflated you then are able to add the mounting assembly to the pontoons which is used to attach the seat to as well as to have have the pivot spot for the oars.
Next you add the seat assembly which is simple attached with pin system assembly which make it easy to assemble and disassemble. Then you attach the back basket and anchor arm. This piece has both a anchor pulley and a plate to mount a trolling motor to. Finally you need to attach the foot resets and add the oars and you are ready to go. Overall I believe this Pontoon boat is a great product from Classic Accessories. If you are in the market for a 9' pontoon boat this is one you might want to look at. Below is a list of spec's that you might find helpful in making your discussions.
