"This vessel is custom built
to commercial U.S.C.G. standards and is truly built like a
tank. I have been professionally chartering with pontoon boats
now for 22 years and can say there are no other pontoon boats
out on the market today that comes close to Tridents structural
integrity along with their smooth, stable and dry ride." Captain Bob Bushholz
Catch 22

Artist MarkJohnson

Mark Johnson was born and raised in Winter Garden, Florida. He began drawing
at the age of 8 and was inspired by his love for the outdoors
and fishing to preserve his vision of nature on canvas.
As a fishing guide on the southwest coast of Florida and many years spent producing
both skin mounts and replicas of fish, he became very familiar
with his subject matter. His paintings are realistic portrayals
of Florida marine wildlife and landscape created primarily
from his memory and imagination.
Mark is self-taught and has been painting
and exhibiting professionally since 1996. He prefers to sketch
on canvas or masonite board after applying several coats of
gesso, sanding in between each layer. Many admirers have stated
how Mark is able to capture the “real-life essence” of whatever
he paints.
