Me and a couple buddies got a pontoon a little while back and upgraded from the Mud Minnow.
It's a 1985 Landau. Came with a 30hp Suzuki that blew up first time out and during the first MVCATS tourney. Got 40hp Johnson for it now but it was a short shaft.
Hadn't done it yet in the pic but cut the transom down and then had to figure out a way to rig the steering cable or buy the kit online for $180, so we figured something out with what we had.
The zip ties, wire, and tape in the pic were from a quick fix we had to make while on the first test run. We've fixed it since then.
Had to figure out a way to mount the trandsucer and this is what we came up with. Have used it a couple times and it seems to be holding up fine and working fine.
One of my buddies is getting a house soon that has a big garage and other out buildings that we plan on working on the boat in this winter. We are going to re-do the floor, console, seating, get the actual steering kit for the motor, have a welder put an actual transducer mount on, everything pretty much. It is fishable as is and will work fine for the rest of the season.
