Passing Some Hours In Fishing On Pontoon Seats

Passing Some Hours In Fishing On Pontoon Seats

Some friends and I recently headed up to the Muskoka region of Ontario, where an old college friend (Jerod) recently had a second hand motorboat from a retiring Quebecois couple. He'd promised some of us a nice weekend on the water, on the condition that we help make this previously-enjoyed watercraft seaworthy.

This was, alas, somewhat challenging. Most of the paint on the hull was rusty, the engine was in dire need of a tune-up, and the pontoon seats were peeling and frayed. It wasn't really the weekend of relaxation we'd been looking to, but it was a fun (or at a minimum entertaining) one nevertheless.

It began with a half-dozen stops at local hardware, boating and home renovation stores, randomly collecting the materials we needed to make the "Rose of Conakry" (as Jerod had named her) shipshape once more. To my surprise, the pontoon boat seats proved to be the hardest to spruce up.

While most of the hardware problems could be solved with either a bit of oil or a reluctantly-purchased substitution part, the pontoon seats were strongly fused into the boat itself, rendering it impossible to replace by removing a significant part of the furnishings.

Our early attempts to patch them together with transparent tape and glue yielded unsuccessful - we made the pontoon boat seat similar of Frankenstein's monster. Instead, we ended up just ripping out most of the fabric, and replacing it using some off-white material we'd chemically treated for water damage.

Sadly, the "Rose of Conakry" will never possess the fresh-off-the-line charm it must've had before, but I surely like it this way, it feels rugged, lived in. Around Sunday afternoon we ultimately managed to take the "Rose" out onto the lake, where we enjoyed a couple of hours of kicking back beers and watching for the fish.
