Default Costco Pontoon Boats are In

The Rockyview Costco got their Wilderness 13 pontoon boats in late this week $319.99. As this morning they had 34 of them left.

And here she is. It took me longer to find the right pump connector than it did to put the boat together! Can't wait to give it a try.

Is it a bladder inside a protective cordura "sheath"? Or is it just a inflatable PVC pontoon?

Quick question for ya guys and girls... As I've never been on one... How do they handle on a river?... Rapids.. Better for a lake?..could u anchor up in a current on one of these?... How are they to pack if u have a distance to get to the water?

Cheers didn't mean to derail the thread but defiantly thinking of picking one up at that price

From the manual "Single bladders installed inside a pontoon skin"

Never use one before so have no idea how it will work on a river, I will probably use it on some smaller lakes for the first few trips.

It's a little bulky to handle alone so parking close to water access would be best.

Looks like it is a new version of my Colorado. Everything looksthe same but the colours are different.

I am quite pleased with it - had it for 3 years now with no problems at all. Some here will say it is no good but I have never heard of anyone having specific problems since I got mine.

By the way - mine was a lot more expensive.
