I liberated this pontoon boat last Saturday 2/4/23 from 15 years of sitting behind a garage. I spotted her over 10 years ago and left a couple notes offering to purchase. I saw the owner at a local game dinner and I made my pitch again to rescue her with the promise of a bottle of bourbon and some river duck hunts. He agreed. I was back the next day with a chain saw, floor jacks and new tires. She was sunk up to the axel and held by numerous trees and vines. A couple hours of cutting, jacking and cursing and she was free! I got her home without any problems except I had to pull over anytime someone was behind me. I left a trail of leaves, weeds and old plywood all the way home. Stay tuned for her make over. I'll update periodically with pictures and description as she is transformed. If this thread ends....it's because my wife figured out this project is not a floating dock for a friend. ![River Queen.jpg River Queen.jpg](https://duckboats.net/community/data/attachments/50/50614-82f11da96295986277d8b1e1a272c504.jpg)
