shelbyluvv Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I went to Bass Pro this weekend and picked up a new play toy. We settled on a Sun Tracker Fishin' Barge 20 DLX. This boat has two live wells and a bunch of storage. With my neck issues and my career winding down we decided a pontoon was the way to go. The WK2 Trailhawk pulls it like a champ. Having a 360 horse Hemi helps as well. The air suspension had no problem keeping the Jeep level. We are taking the boat to the river Saturday to make sure all is well and to gently break in the motor before it gets too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Excellent Bo. I had a smaller 16' Sun Tracker pontoon boat years ago when we lived on the Suwannee River in FL and we loved it. It's wasn't all that great for fishing because it was about as maneuverable as a barge, but it was great for slow river cruising, relaxing, and . Had some good times in that thing.... BTW, how far do you have to go there to find the nearest navigable river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 I will be putting an Easy Troller on the outboard and possibly a 55# trolling motor on the front for smoother lakes.The Colorado River is 2 hours from here and we spend a lot of time there.

shelbyluvv Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 We took the boat to the Colorado River this weekend to break in the motor and get to know it.The wife did great loading and unloading it in the wind. We went up river from the Blue Water Casino where we put in and stopped at Buckskin Mountain State Park to let the dogs play Steph loves her new boat.It is very comfortable and I have made it my own.Steph thought my grill idea was redneck but I assured her it would be awesome.I was right. Nothing like a hot meal on the water. I have $50 total into something that Tracker wanted $325 for.We beached across from the Pirates Den to have lunch and play in the water with the dogs.We made a trip up to the Parker Dam before heading back home.Meg did great towing it. We were going to use the Trailhawk but it was really windy that morning so we decided the big girl would be a safer bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 nothing says comfort like a truck that's longer than the trailer. love that thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Bo, Nice pictures! Last weekend was great weather in the desert. I spent the weekend in Palm Springs. Not so much water there but lots of air conditioned stores, shops, places to eat. But it is hard to beat the river water on a hot day for cooling off.
