I am not sure this is the right area to post but.
We got here yesterday and I find a flat pontoon. I opened it up and find a bad weld on the seam about two inches long and of course my patch kit in AZ. The toon bladder is vinyle. Does anyone have any ideas on patch material I may find down here. Big problem is location.
Lots of bikers here. Saw one yesterday with wild clothing on. Black leather and mesh. Top was see through mesh nothing else but small tatoos of the Harley insignia on the ends on each brest.
Bottom was a bekini front and thong back side with the cheaks a flying.
I have no idea what she looked like.

Bill....is it vinyl or a pvc/hypalon material? Usually those repairs kits are useless for seams. The only suggestion I could make is to check with one of the banana boat operators to see what they use for repairs...annd where they get the repairs done. I'm sure that they get tears, etc.

Drop a note to Mark (Seadweller)...he might be able to help.

Sent back to Dave Scadden and they are going to replace it no chg. They told me this is the first time for this to happen.
Only problem is it was delivered to them on Fri. by UPS and they can not find it.

I spoke with Dave Scadden ( owner of North Fork Outdoors ) yesterday and the new pontoon is due here today. They looked at the bladder and called it unrepairable. The neat part is that they decided because of the inconvenience to send me a new full pontoon. Now that is pretty neat sedvice. I also thought it pretty special that the owner , not some clerk, called me back.
Quality boat and exceptional service. If you are thinking about getting a pontoon I would sure recomend them. I would not trade mine for any other I have seen.
