Rain, snow, sleet, you name it, this customer uses his Hotwood’s pontoon boat to catch fish like this year around on his lake.
An Aluma Sport 612 shown with optional canopy top, outside battery shelf, Minn-Kota trolling motor, white folding mariner chair, heavy duty transom motor mount, and 34" rear rails. The Hotwood's Aluma Sport 612 Compact Pontoon Boat moves effortlessly across the water like all our models. The 612 sits more “on” the water than it does “in” the water. The 612 Aluma Sport comes standard with 20'' hand rails, bench seat, heavy duty transom motor mount, four 12" floats, all aluminum deck, and stainless steel hardware.
This is a lake on the east coast that has over 20 of our boats on it. This was taken during one of the parades they have each year.

Tom Pugh from Phoenix, Arizona, caught this huge catfish near Cave Creek, Arizona, on his Hotwood's Fish-N-Sport pontoon boat.

Ask Robert Brady from Chetek, Wisconsin, about our delivery and quality after we delivered his 3,000 lbs. grain tote right to his farm, just like he wanted. I think that big smile says it all.

"I absolutely love this thing," writes Jeff Hohle from Hill City, South Dakota. "You can see how easy it is to run into town and get grain, and not to mention the savings over buying feed in 50 lbs. bags, like I have been doing. Loading 4,000 lbs. of corn today and back to the house. It cannot get any easier than this. Great job on the delivery and the terriffic product to Hotwood's."
This customer uses this tote to haul feed to his place to feed the whitetail and mule deer. He has fed around 10,000 lbs. to the deer this winter. He also fed 26 large round bales of alfalfa to the elk. It has been a tough winter up north this year, and by using this tote, he has saved a huge amount by buying his feed in bags. "Let's talk about the hassle of the bags verses this system. Not tears or spills bringing mice and other rodents around in my buildings. This is by far the cleanest and most economical way there can be to do what I needed to do with my feed." Jeff, Black Hills of South Dakota
