David;
The funniest/scariest thing that ever happened to me on a pontoon boat, was on the Fourth of July many years ago. My son, and the twin sons of a close friend were about the same age, about six, or seven, at the time (they’re in there thirties now) and we were all aboard the barge watching fireworks being shot out over Clear Lake. We were running late, and were motoring towards the ideal observation area, at a pretty good clip. When a big aerial mine was launched. Everybody ran to the bow to get a good look, and the barge turned into a submarine. People, bbq, coolers, chairs, and all the people except for one of the twins, went into the water. Believe it or not the six year old brought the boat around, and didn’t run over anyone. I got a lot more respect for what could happen on a pontoon boat, and the abilities of a six year old as well.
