It's time for this little lake pontoon to go. I got it secondhand 15 years ago and have used it a bunch and love it, but it no longer fits into my life. It floats well, tracks, well, and has served me well for 100+ days on the water.

It's a framed float tube to be used with flippers, not oars. The seat height is adjustable, about 6", so that you can sit higher or lower depending on your comfort and weight. In the highest position it kept my butt dry even when I weighed 325.

It's missing the stripping apron and the 3rd spare bladder has a crack near the valve that I repaired with aquaseal and epoxy. All 3 bladders hold air. Pontoons are 6 feet long

Each pontoon has a zippered pocket and the previous owner (Scottflycst from the old forum) added a little pulley so that an anchor can be used- I typically filled a mesh bag with rocks at the launch.

Flippers and pumps optional for another 20. Flippers need new straps which are cheap online. They broke on the lake so I make shifted some out of bungees and never got around to replacing them.

If your new to lake fishing, here is a cheap, stable, comfortable, effective way in.PXL_20260829_173702557.jpgPXL_20260829_173715027.jpgPXL_20260829_173726235.jpgPXL_20260829_173741611.jpgPXL_20260829_173813586.jpgPXL_20260829_173843758.jpg
 
Bump. We move in 5 days and this can't go with us. Someone take it for free? I'd rather a forum user get use out of it than some FB rando
 
I’d love to grab this to leave in Bellingham at my folks for the lake but can’t drive to Tacoma while I’m here this time for 10 days. Surprised somebody hasn’t jumped on it for a backup or friend actually. Good luck and hope somebody steps forward so you don’t have to deal with the marketplace craziness.

I can help on this. I can pick up in Tacoma and we could meet up when you make it down. That way it's out of Gary's hair.

See what I said. I can grab it and we can meet when you get down here.
 
That’s wonderful Jerry! But I don’t typically have a car to drive down that far. I just fly into Bellingham and stay around here while visiting. Maybe I can get down that way next trip up here though. We can probably make it work though. Or somebody else down there can grab it from you to get it out of Gary’s way.

Good luck with the move Gary! That can be a lot for sure.
