There are many things to consider if you are thinking about buying any kind of boat or pontoon (vessel)

all vessels must have a title , including the trailer

never buy unless you are close enough to test it in the water

A picture can look great , thanks to computers,

ask seller alot of questions , this is a big ticket item , never buy an "as is "when it comes to a vessel ,

you dont need boat (vessel) insurance in most states , your auto ins. covers that , but check it out

.good e-mail communications are a must , ask anything , if you dont get a reply dont buy
