Stuff grows fast... even on new pontoons

[funtooner]

This is a big hold back on speed.

So is there anything you can do to prevent it...short of sterilizing the lake?

[funtooner]

Bob,
Not that I know of.

How often do you take your Sylvan out to clean the pontoons ??????

[funtooner]

Bigkahuan,
When I had a slip at the marina I would pull the pontoon 2 times a year unless I had some event to go to and needed a unite to show the fins.
Now I keep it on the trailer so I can keep data on whats going on with the stuff coming thuo the lake , top of the logs shine.... But the bottem are full of stuff that the average guy would not be looking for or at. Speed is down by 4.5 mph . This Nov will clean and clear coat bottem of logs for next year.
Will try to make get together
