davidpavinjr Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I was thinking about taking the dupage river to work one day. If my 64 chevelle sells on ebay i was thinking about getting one of these Colorado pontoon boats. what i wanted to know is anyone have this style and have how does it handle going down the dupage or up the river?

Scott Ferguson Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 If a "Colorado" pontoon is a one man, personal pontoon, I have a one of those which is a great fishing platform but you can't row it upstream. You could use a trolling motor but the DuPage is too shallow and weedy for that to operate well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airbornemike Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Buy a yak or canoe, toons are way slow on the rivers we ISA'rs float.

davidpavinjr Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Buy a yak or canoe, toons are way slow on the rivers we ISA'rs float. I just bought the one canoe but its just to big so im going to sell it or maybe just donate it to the ISA but i have no idea who i should talk to about it since there is no title for the canoe. plus my wife said i cant have a canoe or boat unless i sell the chevelle so im kinda stuck waiting on the last 5 hours on my ebay listing hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 If you donate it to the ISA it's possible we could auction it at the Blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a great idea, where would i take the canoe too. Because in 3h 48m my 64 chevelle listing will end and if it does not get a bid im towing it up north and i dont want to tow the chevelle and a canoe 8 hours away. Who would i have to talk to about setting up a place to drop the canoe off since i cant really store it for to long down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim J Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I can store it at my place in Naperville. How soon do you need to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpavinjr Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I can store it at my place in Naperville. How soon do you need to get rid of it? well it looks like the chevelle really might not get sold WOW. I know im leaving up to the north woods on the 24th of this month. so i can bring it over anytime before then. plus i own a studio in Aurora so i can always stop over before or after work.
