new pontoon - BearFisher - 04-21-2010
Anyone have any luck with pontoon boats from classic accesories? I just bought the new wilderness from Costco and was hoping its better than my last double blatter toon. Just wanting some opinions, thanks.

I bought one of the wilderness pontoons from Costco about a month ago. So far so good. I have had it out a half dozen time now. I have it all set up with a troller and all.
Take a look.

I bought a Colorado XT last May and love it! I actually lost one of the valves on it to pump it up. So I called them up and they sent me 2 free, overnighted them. customer service was just awesome! Great pontoon though, lots of storage and holds my 6'5" 240 pound butt up. No complaints here.

I too have a Colorado field and stream edition toon and i love it. I have had the help of tubedude in tricking it out with a fish finder 5 rod rack holder as well as a utility holder to hold pliers net and knife. Along with all the "PIMP MY TOON" accessories I also have a trolling motor. The weight limit says 390lbs, I am 6'2 300lbs and it holds me and all the gear which is well over 400lbs! Only problem i have had is one of the oar locks broke but it can be fixed. Great toons overall..
Attached are pics of my PIMPED OUT TOON tubedude style

Nice cat, Wildcat! And a nice looking rig.
I bought a closeout Rogue SP off Amazon recently and I'm pleased with the quality. I think customer service is going to be good too. Mine came with a broken valve cap. I emailed CA and didn't receive a reply. About a week and a half later, I emailed them again and the next day received a reply and an apology for missing the original email. They promised to send out a replacement part as soon as possible (the caps are on backorder).
I've had it out once and enjoyed it a lot. I'm looking forward to getting my registration numbers so I can use my trolling motor. Hopefully, this week or next. I've been busy revamping some of my original modifications and am anxious to try them out.
