Looks awesome, I see many fun days on the river in your future. Floating big water in pontoons like those is a blast

Cool!  Now all you need is a 250 E-Tec on it and you are good to go!

Total weight is 75lbs. and it is 60 in wide.  I was surprised how sturdy it is when standing on the platform.

nice looking setup, would recommend setting up a rod holder or two on it though, nice to have for when you get into some decent rapids and do not want to pinch your rod with your knees. pvc pipe and a bungee cord works great and is cheap.

These are slick. Really want one for smaller lakes you can't get a glass boat on, especially after seeing my buddy's set up with an electric.
