Saw a pontoon boat a year or two ago in Alton Bay, opposite the public docks, that had a similar list to it. It did manage to stay afloat for a few days, and then it was gone, and we assume to be fixed. No idea what the problem or the fix was.
upthesaukee That pontoon boat belongs to a friend of mine. The short version is that it is a $40k Bennington pontoon boat thats now 3 years old. The first season with this boat is the pontoons kept taking on water due to bad welds on the pontoons and they also kept denting due to bad supprt with in the toons. The second season Bennington replace the pontoons and the same problems happened again. Over the winter Channel Marine and Bennington replaced the pontoons again with there new heavy dutie pontoons. He picked up the boat last weekend and brought it back to the camp and when he looked it over there was a large dent in one of the toons. He said it looked like a forklift may have done that. He also found a huge tear in one of the bench seats. So back to Channel he went. Meanwhile he is paying for a slip and a boat loan and can't use the boat.
In my opinion I would stay away from Channel Marine and Bennington Boats.
