Questions
Is your pontoon boat still for sale?
If so how many people can it hold?
Do you know it's NMMA rating for hp of a gas motor?
I just bought a 2010 JC Boles pontoon boat from a woman who knew nothing about it. Would you be able to tell me something about the pontoons? What’s in the inside the pontoons ( chambers, flotation material, ...) and do they need sealant outside on the seams? There’s a blue tube near the top of each pontoon that is open. Not sure what those are for. I tried to call the company and number is disconnected. Thanks for any info you can give.
I had to replace the flotation parts of the pontoons due to an infestation of ants. The flotation was simply 2" while insulation board you'd buy at Lowes or Home Depot. The insulation had really deteriorated into a lot of tiny pieces of white foam. The top of the pontoon you describe is designed to keep all the flotation "stuff" contained and inside the pontoon, allowing flotation even if it's deteriorated into pieces.
I replaced the white foam boards with blue or pink closed cell boards. It took mostly 2" boards, with a 3" board on top. There should be a small bilge pump at the rear of each pontoon, which pumps water into the very front, angled, parts of the pontoons. Those front parts are not sealed and have no flotation boards. I replaced each of the bilge pumps, using clear plastic (and flexible) tubing to route the pumped water to the front.
You must tie your motor to the boat. The "transom" broke on mine & the motor dropped 25 to the end of its rope. I was able to lift it onto the boat and get it serviced so it still works. I highly recommend getting a welder to build you a more substantial "transom"
Two other things: 1) There's not a lot of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the pontoon. If you plan on carrying much weight in the boat while towing, you might want to replace the 2x4s with 2x6s.I'd suggest heavy, pressure treated wood, or the trailer will tend to float without the boat on it. Replacement is easily done after launching the boat. 2) The boat will re-load onto the trailer much easier if you connect the 2 guiding 2x4s on the sides, at the top, with a 2x4 or 2x6, carpeted
