The boat

I’ve got a 2004 Manitou pontoon rated for 13 people that is ready for a day on the lake. It’s equipped with a 70hp 4-stoke Johnson that is super quiet and easy to operate. It will get up to about 20mph. Even though the boat is a bit older, is in good condition with the seats are all freshly reupholstered and very comfy!



It’s on a trailer at my residence, about 20 minutes from Lake Sara. I will be flexible with times to allow for the transportation time to and from the lake, so you don’t have to worry about running out of time!



If you’re looking for a simpler experience, we can make arrangements to have it ready for a day on Lake Sara by selecting ( Qty. 1) for the transportation add-on. If you’re not familiar with Lake Sara, there are venues such as The Rusty Reel, Pinky’s, and Lakeside Marina to find food and drink. There is also dock access to the brand new playground with restrooms on the beach, as well as a nice new disc golf course! Unfortunately, there is no swimming from the boat allowed at Lake Sara, but they do have a nice small beach at the park.



If you’re capable and comfortable to tow it, you’re welcome to take it to any local lake that it’s allowed on. I will have permits for Lake Sara and Lake Mattoon. I will transport it to any local lake and have it ready for an additional charge. The trailer has surge brakes, so your tow vehicle will not need a brake controller. I do ask that you send proof of the vehicle tow capacity before booking is completed if you plan to tow.



It will be full of fuel and ready to get on the water. I ask that you bring it back the same. If we make arrangements for leaving it on the lake, please utilize the marina fuel station. It runs about $3/gal over market price.



Please send me a message if you have any questions! I will do my best to respond quickly! I try to be very flexible with making arrangements, so please ask if you have any concerns about making arrangements.



It will have all life jackets and proper safety gear.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. Our family always seems to be on the go, and we were looking for a way to spend family time together that did not commit an entire weekend. An afternoon on the lake has fit our busy lifestyle very well! If you’re looking to test the waters on whether or not you want a boat, this is a perfect way to explore that opportunity. It’s also a great option for those that do not want the commitment of having all the extra responsibilities of having a boat but quick access to one.
