Default surprise

Ok the cat is out of the bag!
I was handed a Christmas card the other day that said I hope you enjoy your new Pontoon boat. The only reason I was given this so early was to make sure the right type was ordered. Well after talking to two fly shops and a sporting good store, and not letting them sell her 1000 dollars worth of, you will need this and you will need that she called Orvis and ended up with a Pontton float tube. Well I told her that would probably not be the best thing for a river and she asked me to find a better one. Well after some help from skibum I ended up with this toon.



It should be here in time for the floatilla.
What a wonderful girl friend I have

I was hoping to surprise everyone and just show up next Sunday but she had emailed GatorByte to get some ideas, but he responded too late and she was nervous about getting the wrong thing.

I hope it is as awesome as my tube has been, I look forward to it!

Oh, I'm definitely pelting the "Mystery Guest" with water balloons.

Emails? What emails?

Default I know

I know mine is bigger
and that he is jealous of it.
I just hope he does not try to ram me and flip me over or slice my toons with his paddles. there might be a toon fight on the hooch

I may have to set it up just to see how it works, and where I need to stow my gear, etc..
I might even have to sit on it to really get the feel

You may want to get a cannon mounted on that thing. Nice toon, I hope you enjoy it.
