I don’t need a boat, I don’t need a boat, I don’t need a boat…. Nope, that didn’t work! I want this boat! Congrats!!!
LOL!
Good morning GP. Congratulations on your new boat. I know you and your family are going to love it. The changing room is a nice touch. I have never seen an electric Bimini before, very cool. Take care, Ben
WoW! Nice purchase, Captain GP! Although I have never owned one, I have friends who do. It is the best way to enjoy the lake, just putting around slowly and having nice conversations on the water with some beverages! Cheers!
Morning Michael! So far so good - very relaxing and a very quiet ride. Cheers!
How's she goin'? Now you're cooking with gas GP. She's a beauty and I hope you and Carol and the family will get many pleasurable hours of cruising the lake in it! Take 'er easy!!!
Morning Grampie. We are looking forward to it...now if I could just get the Geese off it. LOL!
We’ve had a pontoon boat for years , the family all love it . Not at all fast but cruising around the lake it is perfect . Carry a small (luggable loo ) with you and that small change room comes in handy if a passenger needs to use the washroom .
LOL! The girls were makign jokes about it yesterday. Thanks Brian - have a nice Mother's Day weekend
Beautiful Pontoon Boat. Very well equipped and appointed. I’ll bet you will enjoy the summer more with that vessel. Nice to see some variety in your videos too.
Thanks Andrew! Hope you both enjoy the summer. Cheers!
Gord the family and you are going to enjoy the heck out of that! Can’t wait to see guy do a canon ball off the front! Lol cheers!
LOL! If he does, I'll video it. Thanks Pete!
Sylvan makes a great pontoon boat for the money. Pontoon boats are known as the minivan of the lake but are the most versatile for everything boating. Enjoy your beautiful boat.
Thanks Tom!
Looks like the service and support will make the boating even better, just like the kabota tractor.
Lots of nice features Gord, I think you and the family will really enjoy it. I used to make snarky comments about pontoon boats, until I spent a weekend as the designated boat driver for some friends on Lake Norman in North Carolina. What a hoot...like a living room on the water! I suppose I was converted! Look forward to seeing it on the channel. Cheers. 👍🍻
LOL! Me too but yup, it's a big change but a good one for us now. Have a great weekend- Cheers Chris!
Pretty slick rig, congrats!
Congrats on your new yacht Gord! Nothing like a pontoon boat to really enjoy the lake and your company. Have fun 😎
LOL! Thanks Randy!
Say hi to Ted and Renee from an old customer. Good people at Quinn’s.
Morning Sherpa. I will for sure next time I go in. Cheers!
The lake I live on is covered with pontoons during the summer. The capacity for people is a great feature. My neighbor on one side has a tri toon with 250HP Honda. My other neighbor's wife works where they make power tops. They added one to their pontoon. My buddy has a pontoon but he used to call them junk on the water. Now he has more room for his wife and dogs.
Sylvan may be one of the brands made in northern Indiana near where I live. I have 2 Sea Doo's and an old Century inboard but a pontoon would make more sense now.
Cheers! We have only been out a few times now but a big difference in boating - flat bottom and lots room and a very quiet ride. :)
Very nice, congrats!!! i have the 2019 Suntracker 18DLX with 60 merc.. love the pontoon for fishing and for recreation.
Nice boat you there , my son got him self one couple years ago love it.
Congrats. 👍
Yes, Gord I too sold my two boats, and bought a Pontoon boat. We bought locally, a Prince Craft Vectra 21. Probably about the same size as yours. You have some nice options on your craft, and we got some neat things too. Hope you enjoy the boat. We are looking forward to getting ours in a few days.
We should check in with each other in a few weeks, to compare. Cheers
Morning and congrats Rick. That's a great idea. Let's catch up in about a month. Good luck and enjoy!
Congrats on the new boat! My company does about twelve pontoon canvas enclosers a year. Done a few on Sylvan's
Thanks!
That's a great looking new boat, Gord. I'm sure you'll have a blast out on that beautiful lake! Cheers!
Your family will love it I'm sure. Enjoy your new toy Gord.
Congratulations on the new boat, Gord , Carol & Family. It's a beauty! Enjoy
Thanks Barry!
Can't wait to see y'all on the water!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Cheers David!
Awesome! That looks pretty sweet! Enjoy every minute. Cheers!!! 👍👍👍
Love that pontoon Boat . thanks for the video GP
Good evening Gord..
I am so Happy for you and Carol and the girls… I know we will only get a little picture of this part of your life but that’s ok… I saw the smile on your face and that right there tells it all…
Carol is going to love relaxing out on the lake…
So Captain Gord… That has a good ring to it.. hahahaha
Thank you for sharing this new adventure with us…
God Bless you and Carol..
Cheers my friend
Morning and thanks Gus. We are pretty excited. We are hoping for a little sun this weekend. Say hi to Sally!
You're going to love the Pontoon Boat especially with the family outings at the lake. They are so nice and comfortable. Sure hated to get rid of ours but it was time. Looking forward to seeing you all using and enjoying the Pontoon. Carol will enjoy helping you trailering and untrailering the Pontoon. Connie was a big help to me with ours. Stay safe, have fun. Fred.
Morning Fred! We are pretty excited. Just hoping for some sunshine this weekend. :) Getting it back on the trailer will be a bit of fun for sure. Have a great weekend!
Félicitations mon Gordon !!! Love that black beauty !! With the price of fuel these days, you will appreciate the 60 hp ! Strong enough for him and gentle enough for her !!!
LOL! Thanks!
Very nice! Congrats! 🎉
Well would you look at that, Gord got his new boat in the water before I did, little jealous, but on May 17th I'll be on the Ottawa. Nice pontoon, yes your showing your age but why not get what you want to enjoy our senior years, the family will enjoy the outing on her once you name her. Laminate the ownership, and load it up with PFD's and we will await your 2 month review. Cheers and have a great weekend.
LOL. Hey Pete, yup, times are changing. Kind of funny you mention it - but this is the first time I had the boat in the water first, on the lake. I'm first!! Have a great Mother's Day Weekend!
Nice Pontoon GP. You're gonna have some nice relaxing times on that. Have a great weekend.
Cheers Bob!
Hey Gord, congrats on your new boat, I hope you and your family have many happy safe sailing hours.
Thanks Wayne! All the best!
Congratulations Gord beautiful boat what a great spot for you and the boys to have a morning coffee take care have a great weekend and enjoy the new ride
Cheers and thanks Tom!
They say , not sure who, that a pontoon boat is the last boat you buy before you die!
LOL! I have heard that too C2! Hope you are keeping well!
Nice pontoon boat!
Congratulations on the new Mother's day gift! Yous' will get years of enjoyment.
Thanks Jim! I think Carol will be happy. have a great weekend!
Nice video. Although surge brakes are convenient and don't require an electric brake controller in the truck, their downside is the inability to activate only the trailer brakes to get out of a dangerous and potentially life threatening swerve. Lots of CZcams videos on this important subject for anyone new to larger boat trailers.
An excellent point to be aware of it for sure - thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Congratulations, GP! Hope that you, Carol and the girls have plenty of opportunities to use your new vessel over this summer.
Hey thanks Larry. Me too! Mother's Day adventures. Cheers and thanks again!
Hi Gord, wish you lot of fun to you and all your familly this summer! Great sélection. Cheers.
Thanks Richard!
Good luck with your new pontoon boat
I live in NW Montana on the beautiful Clark Fork River and have been looking at pontoon boats for a few years! I learned quite a few things from your video!! I remember buying my $60k wakeboard boat in the mid 2000’s and pontoon boats like this were only $28ish thousand LOL
Hey good luck. Loved having the tower boat and it served it's purpose but even my daughters now just like hanging out putting around the lake slowly and relaxing now. Big change but I think will be a good change for us. have a great weekend!
👍
GP, man you did great.. I know exactly what you’re doing! Happy wife(Carol), happy life.. Next step, you’ll sell the Kubota to Guy for a New Bigger one so Guy can finally have heat in the winter, and AC in the spring and summer because of the flies. Congratulations mate
LOL! Thanks 690! I think she will be really happy - she's coming up tomorrow - all good. time to slow down in life a little bit. :) Cheers my friend!
Nice. Have a blast.
Yiu have everything on this ponton boat except for a Kubota loading ramp. Enjoy!!!
LOL! Cheers!
I have my swim trunks! Congratulations 👏 well done!
You are welcome anytime Ross. Cheers!
Very cool! That's going to make being on the lake enjoyable and relaxing. Was that boot very difficult to put on?
Getting a bit snobby there GP. Look's great 😂😂
Nice boat. That is not a trailer transom support. That’s a servicing lock for the technician servicing it. If you’re going to trailer it buy a proper transom saver. Towing with that lock engaged will destroy your transom over time.
Thanks - I'll check back with them. Cheers!
Agreed. Many pontoon boat makers advise trailering with the motor straight down to relieve undue pressure on the transom mount.
Liking your videos and subscribed
Thanks very much and welcome!
I'm jealous that's my dream boat.
I hope you will get it soon. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors when I win the lottery
Boat,,, noun ,,, A hole in the water into which one throws money,,,,, Enjoy it my friend :)
LOL! So true Skeets but good to spend time with family. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
Most importantly,
When do you start clearing a spot for a pole barn to store it in ?
LOL! The area is all cleared out...just missing the $$ :)) Have a nice weekend Jean!
I love it!!! What is the price range in this model. I may be one next week
That is certainly a nice boat.Being a red head with pale skin,being on the water is something I can,t do even with sunscreen.
Whats is the exactly model and all futures in this one , i wanna buy exactly same one.
Good morning - it is a Sylvan Mirage 8520 - 60 HP Mercury. Lots of standard features - I couldn't list them all here but perhaps best to call your local dealer and they can give you all the info - good luck!
@@GPOutdoors thank you
