My $35 float tube and $40 pontoon boat

Hi guys,
These are my boats.
I found the float tube on Facebook market place. It’s branded Sportismans Warehouse and I can’t find any info on it. If anyone knows anything about it please let me know. I’ve had it for a couple years now, it came with fins and an anchor, no leaks. Going to add some rod holders and fish finder.

The pontoon boat was also a Facebook find. I haven’t had it out yet, but in the next month or so. It had a leak in one of the pontoons but fixed that up, seems solid now. Can’t wait to try it out.

ODC didn't they become Creek Company?

I have a similar pontoon. Good 'toon. I like it when the water is icy cold or I need to go some distance away from launch

Yes they did. Found some info related to my boat from their website.

Did you do any mods to yours?

Great job on shopping for your rides!
It’s really nice to know that there are still some really good deals out there!
Thank you for sharing.

Nice finds Uglyflycompany.
I have that pontoon by Creek Company. I like it a lot.

Here are some links to the mods I did.

Thank you for the links. I was thinking milk crate too, I might have to rethink that.

Thank you.

My 'toon is a bit different

I added a  Scotty's rodholder.

I put a swivel plate under the clamshell seat. that's a replacement seat as I broke the original. mine didn't come with that lawnchair type seat.

I also have a Fish Finder Mounts for a Lowrance, but I haven't used that in years. Battery is long toast. Fishfinders do help but I found that it takes something away from the sport. Plus I like the simplicity of tubes & toons, that seemed to defeat that purpose.

The one thing I wish it had, and I haven't figured out a good mod, is a way to store the oars. They kind of flop around and I can, sort of, place them on the back shelf but they are easily knocked off. I need to rig up some sort of hook.

I have one of those Scotty mounts, where did you mount yours so it’s out of the way of the oars?

Look right behind the seat. You can see the rodholder base. I mounted it sideways as it seemed to me, to put less stress points on the tube.
