"We really enjoy your product. We even play a little Michael Buble as we have dinner and watch the sun set. Thank you."

"All you have to do is fish from one your boats. The stability is unbelievable. I have never been on a smaller boat like this before that I could walk around. We even had two men on one side and never felt in danger of tipping. My father in law has one and after fishing from his I called you and ordered one."

"I love my new boat. Thanks for the great service on a terriffic product. Your delivery person was the best. We invited him to have dinner with us that night at our home. Again, Thank You."

"My only regret with this Pontoon Rescue 510 is I didn't buy it years ago. It is everything you claim it to be. I get lots of compliments on it and it's the best little floater around. The sporting goods stores came out with the 55LB. thrust after I bought my 46LB. thrust Minn Kota; it still does a fine job even in some pretty stiff winds. I have rescued 3 boat loads of people in one fishing season and it's a great little fisher."

"My wife and granddaughter love the boat. We almost didn't make the first trip for all the on lookers whenever we stopped. The boat performed marvelously on the lake. Do you have some business cards that I can give to prospective buyers? If not I can print up a flyer. We have lots of good lakes around here. Looking forward to many more adventures. Thanks."

Mrs. Bowers from Arlington, TX wanted to surprise her husband for Christmas by buying him a Lil Sport 510 pontoon boat. Kevin Houtwed, president of Pro-Tatch Inc., along with his wife and daughter personally delivered the boat on Christmas Eve for the ultimate Christmas surprise.

"It has been a ball.  Easy to get into low water conditions on the ramp (which we have plenty of right now during the drought), put a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton from Bass Pro on the back and does great, roomy, and my dog ( a cocker ) approves of it, too.  Did some Southern Engineering additions to the boat & all is great.

Hello from South Carolina.

Noticed you had our photo on your web page while homeworking another possible pontoon project. I have had lots of folks interested in the one I built some time ago and wanted to send you a couple of photos of it for your info.

We really enjoy our pontoon! It can't be beat for fly fishing the 65 acre lake we use it on. The mountain water is so clear that you have to sneak up on the fish to catch them and the pontoon is just the ticket.

Dear Kevin:

"We just LOVE our Lil Sport. We bought a Honda 5-hsp, 4-stroke engine to go with it. As you may recall, we are using our boat on the Mississippi River, and were concerned when we first contacted you this summer that the boat might be tippy. It handles the waves like a champ, bobbing side to side or front to back like a cork. You should keep our name as a reference any time someone else has a question about the stability of the boat on a body of water such as the Mississippi with a strong current. I have attached a couple of photos illustrating some of the rough water we have been out on, plus one photo from the backwaters. Your boat has given us a chance to see many parts of the river we have never been able to get into before. We have been going there in cabin cruisers or houseboats for 10 years, but we have been limited to the main channel, til now!! 

Last weekend when we were camped on the river, we used the Lil Sport on about 6 different outings into the backwaters, of which the Mississippi has in abundance. Got to see great sights. The low draft of the pontoons -- and the shallow drive of the outboard and its ability to be tilted up and still run -- allow us to get into VERY shallow places. We later checked out our routes on a river map and figured we had traveled 15 miles, all on less than 2 gallons of gas.  

Our dog, who was quite afraid of the 12-ft V-bottomed boat we used to use for exploring, is now a champ rider on the Lil Sport. She can walk anywhere on it when we are motoring, and gets into and out of it easily, just as we do. We love the height and sturdiness of the handrails, by the way. And the boat tows very well behind our present cabin cruiser."

In contrast to your WI pontoon competitor who was very difficult to find in the first place, then get questions asked (unlike how responsive you have been) and when I asked him for WI customer names, said he couldn’t do that because he’d have to “dig through the files and it would take too much time.” We appreciate that your company’s customer service is SOO much different.

Best wishes,

Susi and Roy "

 

 

"Received the bench seat yesterday. We have had the boat out a couple times and my (NON SWIMMER) wife is very happy with it. She feel comfortable on it and caught the most fish and also the biggest. Thanks for the great service.

"I picked my boat up at the factory. I have never enjoyed fishing so much. So stable. I caught 16 bass in 3 days. Love it. Thank you for a great product."
