I was going to do lights on mine like above but I called TP & W and they said I would have to be anchored to legelly use them so I put them on the bottom between the pontoons facing down.

A good trolling motor comes in handy.

I'm struggling with choosing which troll motor now. I know that all the fish packages come with a 12v 55lb but I keep reading that they just don't do "it"... A 24 v at 65-70 lb would be much better? I know the old rule, bigger better so on but lets keep it real.

I had a 22' Benny tri-toon fishing model for 5-6 years. The 80lb 24V I-pilot did just fine.

I was going to do lights on mine like above but I called TP & W and they said I would have to be anchored to legelly use them so I put them on the bottom between the pontoons facing down. Thanks for sharing the info about the TPWD and the lights. I ran on the lake a few times with the lights on. Now I only use the green lights while tied off to a tree or anchored when fishing. The lights I got where cheap and easy to install. I got mine off ebay for $36.00. I've seen a kit sold for over a hundred. The only problem was the 3M sticky tape on the back. I cleaned and prepped with rubbing alcohol and heated the light strand and sticky tape with a hair dryer as I put them on. I's been a year and they are still on the boat.

Looking for one myself, if I had the money for a new one the Veranda 2075 F4 with a 90hp would be perfect
but have been looking for a few months still looking at used

 I have fished out of pontoons for 30 years. First boat was a MonArk and it was a poor design that a lot of welds broke on and a poor trailer design that caused the pontoons to leak after a while. I did keep it for 17 years and traded in in on the PartyKraft in the photo. It's a 2005 model The PartyKraft has a 50 Yamaha and is probably under powered in the case of a severe storm but with a load of 4 or 5 people has no trouble pulling a tube or knee board. Skillful skiers can drop a ski and slalom. It's a very well designed boat compared to the monark. Lots of splash guards to keep water out of problem areas, very sturdy build and I think the parent company has been building boats 100 years. Good trailer. Fishes good with catfish our usual target. On the day of the photo this group caught enough fish for a fry.
