Summer decisions. How about a pontoon rental on Lake Austin?

The summer is quickly coming to a close. For some boaters and boat lovers, the feeling is bitter sweet; specifically for those of us with children in the school system. Not to fear as there are still several weeks of summer left for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere.

Question

How should you spend those remaining precious weeks of summer? Easy. Spend it with friends and as cool as possible.

The Solution

An ideal choice for many will be getting on the lake. Even though the drought is still alive here in Texas, there are many options in the Highland Lake System. Inks Lake, Lake LBJ and Lake Austin all are constant level lakes. Lake Georgetown, while low, still has all of its ramps open.

So you choose to go to the lake. What do you do there? How about renting a boat?

A pontoon rental on lake Austin would satisfy the requirements above. While Temptoy has multiple pontoons to choose from for rent, one stands out right now due to capacity and price. Kevin Dinh's 2013 Bentley Cruiser Pontoon should definitely be considered and here is why.

Capacity

This pontoon is a 24' long. It is rated to hold 16 people. It has a 115 HP engine pushing it through the water; so it is good for kids tubing as well. The boat is also available on Walter E Long and Canyon Lake.

Price

Where can you find a boat on lake Austin that holds up to 16 people for $350? For this price, you get the use of the pontoon for 4 hours, life vests, tube and a cooler with 20lb worth of ice. See Kevin's pontoon listing for the most current pricing.
