Don’t let the kids hang off the front while underway.
If sun gets to be too much a canopy can be added up front as well as the back portion over the helm.
Fold up ladder for the stern is handy.

Almost forgot the most important upgrade I made to my Pontoon. A "Powered Bimini Top". Just a push of the button to put it up or down in seconds. For 23 years I've had to manually put the Bimini Top up and take it down every time I went out which was at least daily or more all summer long. All the while be careful not to let the wind catch it, or pinch finger, lose a securing pin, etc, etc. The power bimini makes life easy for this 75 yr old disabled vet.

I'm pretty mechanical and installed mine by myself with a little help from my wife at times. Boat dealers in my area charged what I call excessive. Shop around for the best price.

Grandpa, you and your wife worked hard all your life to raise your kids and grandkids and have gave them all the things that you probably did not have as most of us have done so when it comes to making your live easier then spend some of their inheritance and enjoy your time together...just my opinion 😂

What a great idea. A power Bimini! I can just imagine how much that helps you.
On another note: thank you for offering yourself for the freedom we enjoy in this great country! I cannot tell you how much respect and gratitude I have for you. From the bottom of my 73 year old heart sir, thank you for all you did. God bless you! Enjoy that pontoon and power Bimini.
