calkid75 Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Hi, I am just wondering what modifications people have made to their pontoon boats. I am picking up an Creek Company ODC 1220 2 man pontoon boat this weekend. I figured with the long winter coming, it would be a great time to outfit the boat. I have found a few modifications on other groups online but wondered what people around here find the most useful. Maybe even a description or pic of what you did if it is something you would like to share with others. I know I am definitely going to have to add some rod holders for different setups and add an electric trolling motor for flat water use. I think I am also going to add the second standing platform. I hope others find this interesting and I look forward to hearing what others have found useful, Guy Quote
reevesr1 Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Super Charged Small Bllock Chevy Hey FH, Does that cost 24K? Quote
SteveM Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 If you're gonna use a trolling motor, some sorta keel setup may be necessary. The keel would also help if you're rowing in the wind; I find I work real hard trying to keep mine tracking straight, even in a slight breeze. Quote

calkid75 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 That's a nice setup. I may have to borrow some of those ideas. thanks for the link Guy Quote
Taco Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Probably a bit more than 24k, as it would have to be aluminum . Could always get one of those Florida fan motors though...Sounds like fun to me... Here ya go FH, 358 cubes of small block chevy, 'round 800 horse Quote
rusty Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Man alive! Those are some awesome mods...I love the hinged seat and the front anchor. Quote
calkid75 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 So I went to pick up the creek company 1220 and setup next to it was a Sportsman Warehouse 13 (Outcast Fishcat 13) and I ended up with the Fishcat. Side by side they did not look even comparable so I purchased the fishcat for $1399. I am looking forward to setting this boat up. Even though it was 400 more I think I will be happier with it as you could really see a lot of difference between them. Larger frame diameter, larger pontoon diameter, more padding on seats. A lot of little things. I guess now I just have to outfit it! It should be fun. Guy Quote
