Great job brother. I just bought a 2021 dlx 20 fishing barge. I love it. Had a 2013 bass buggy before and so happy with the upgrade. You do a hell of a job.

Thanks, partner! Really appreciate the kind words. Congrats on the upgrade!!

I have a 2019 dix fishing barge with a 60hp on it and it gets up to about 19 mph with two people on it. Biggest pro is very easy on gas and biggest con is it is not a rough water boat because of low fencing, Over all we are very happy with our boat.

Great boat, partner! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the overview. I have the 2010 version of this pontoon (Party Barge 20 Classic Series). I keep it stored inside our first floor garage bay at our lake house so it's in great shape. Like it so much I decided to keep the pontoon but repower from current 50HP (tops out around 18mph w/o Bimini up and light load) to a 90HP (good to hear yours tops out around 30mph).

Thanks partner! That sounds like a well-kept toon. You will enjoy the 90, a lot more power for her! Best of luck!

I'm looking for a pontoon for my dad, mostly. He is a cancer survivor, two time widower, Special Forces Sgt. Major with bad feet from chemo. To be able to provide him with a pontoon for whenever he wants would be a dream. He deserves it and I want to make it happen. Thanks for the info. I am leaning towards this model, as it seems to have everything without being gaudy

Hey partner! That’s very nice of you and your dad sounds like one tough man. I am sure he will enjoy the leisure days on a Fishin’ barge. Best of luck to you both!

Mr. Smith, Don't know your financial situation but the 16 and 18 ft Bass Buggy--by Bass Tracker--are nice. The 16 with a 50 Merc and the 18 with a 60 Merc. Either would be easy to handle and tow. We have a Bass Buggy 18 DLX with a 60 Merc--22 mph wide open at 6000 rpm. Ours is a 2021 and we are both over 70. Only thing I would change is not buy their mooring cover. Too hard to use. Nice for fishing or just kick'n back and cruising at 10-15 mph. For more real info check our Ryanvision on youtube. He has some real good videos on the Bass Buggy.

We are soon getting a 2018 just like this. Can’t wait! 👍

Thank you for the fantastic video I am in the market on purchasing a new boat and my mind is set on a 18 pontoon many of my friends that are previous owners tell me not to pull the trigger being a cat fisherman could you tell me why you sold the boat I specialize on livestream catfishing and it seems it’s the perfect boat

Howdy partner! Thank you! I was just checking out your channel - you've got some great videos! I love the positive energy! I really liked the Fishin' Barge 20, but it was too large to launch at the 3 dirt ramps near my house. It takes a few feet to float it off the trailer. I think it could be perfect for you, best of luck and thanks again for watching!

Thanks for sharing! Do you still lime the boat? I'm looking at a 2018 one just like yours!

Not anymore, partner! She was a good boat but moved on to other toys for now.

Hey, is there possibly A tag on that changing room with a part number? We normally don't travel with the canopy up so that type of changing room would be a pain for us but this one looks super simple.

Hey partner. I bought it used. New cost should be pretty close to what’s listed on Bass Pro Shops website. I think they stick by their “No Haggle No Hassle” approach. Good luck and happy tooning!

How’s the vinyl flooring in the heat does it get really hot? Was wondering if I want to go with it when I redo mine or with carpet. Thanks

Great video but I've run into a problem for the correct installation of my starting battery! My 2017 20 DLX seems to be identical to yours except mine has a 75 Mercury 4 stroke! I am a 100% disable veteran with heart failure which condition had gotten worst soon after purchasing the pontoon (only used 4 times with less than three hours on the engine) With no use ;all batteries died over the years! I lately began to feel somewhat better and wants to go fishing so great nephew decided to replace the three batteries; no problem with trolling batteries but the starting battery is a head ache not all of the cables to attach to the battery are color coded! So and help you might provide would be greatly appreciated !

@MRGREGSHOWTO

Howdy, partner! First, thank you for your service and I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. Without seeing the cables it is tough to gauge how to hook up properly. You might call a Battery store (or the place where you got the new batteries) and ask them if you get the boat there if they can help you hook it up. Best of luck to you!

How is it holding up like the interior and what not ? I got quoted 38k out the door for a 2022 and cant decided.

Hey partner! I sold mine but it was holding up very well. I would keep it out of direct sunlight- the UV can wear everything out. It’s a good pontoon, but I wanted to go back to other types of boats. Best of luck to you!

I keep hearing Sun Tracker doesn’t hold up well in salt water. What is your opinion?

@MRGREGSHOWTO

3 жыл бұрын

I think it will hold up just fine so long as you wash it thoroughly and flush the motor after each use. Although I have heard that saltwater corrosion may void the factory warranty - so I would definitely look into that. Best of luck!
