FREE one man pontoon raft
« on: August 12, 2015, 01:33:49 PM »
Board member Fred Mertz gave me this raft a couple of years ago and since we got our canoe, it has seen no use. I hate to see it gathering dust. The raft has a break down stainless steel frame, pontoons don't leak, portage wheel, and a brand new pump. This is a very stable raft for shorter floats. Help me pay it forward. PM me if interested.... I live in East Nashville.

I got a buddy that is beginning to trout fish.  That would be perfect for him, so that I have a partner when floating in my pontoon.   

Only problem, is I don't leave nearby.   I am in Cleveland.   

I would gladly give $200, if you could get it here.  Then you can take that money and pay your gas, and donate the rest to a worthy cause.   Maybe even get in some trout fishing on the Hiwassee.

Bfish, tell you what, I will pick it up and be a temp owner, I will figure out how to get it to you. Plus, it will help your friend out so you can have a fishing buddy. We can work that out privately (I have some ideas).

I need another kayak anyway.

Sounds good to me.

dbradyh, I will actually be in Cookeville this weekend but I know I won't be in Nashville for quite some time.  If you find someone more local, feel free to give it them.
