In July I bought this pontoon boat. Its a 24ft party barge with a 60 hp Evinrude. When I bought it I was told it was lake ready. I got it on the water the first day and it ran great but the electrical was a total mess and nothing worked. The next weekend I had all the lights rewired and replaced, new switches for the trim and lights. After that I put it in the water and couldnt get it to stay running. I replaced fuel filter and spark plugs and it runs great on the muffs out of water. it will start and idle in neutral in the water but as soon as I put it in gear it bogs down and dies. I would like to trade for something smaller that is lake ready now. Dont want to involve much cash if I cant find a trade Im looking for I will break down and go get it looked at by a professional in a month or so. I have clean titles for motor and boat.
