Everything You Need to Know About Pontoon Boats

Buying a pontoon boat, especially when you’re a first time buyer can be a tricky job. There’s a lot to choose from and often not enough information to guide you through the process. This is why our seasoned experts at Power Sports Abrams in Abrams, Wisconsin, have grouped together a comprehensive guide on all things pontoon. Let’s get to it!

What Are Pontoon Boats?

A pontoon boat relies on floats to remain buoyant. The pontoon part of the pontoon boats contains a great deal of reserve buoyancy and allows designers to include massive deck plans fitted with all sorts of accommodations such as expansive lounge areas, stand-up bars, and sun pads. Additionally, moving onto more efficient tube designs, these boats also allow builders to put ever-increasing amounts of horsepower on the stern. 

How Are Pontoons Used?

Pontoon boats are used for recreational purposes especially on lakes and rivers, and in some cases on oceans, albeit usually close to shore. They’re also used for watersport activities including tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding. 

There are even some parts of the world where they’re used as a small vessel to ferry people across rivers and lakes, especially in Africa. And like any decent boat, pontoons can also be used for fishing. All in all, they’re multipurpose crafts, so they’re likely a great choice for you.

Design of Pontoon Boats

These boats have a fairly simple design. Mostly because they were bred out of need. The pontoon part of the boat is often made of abrasion-resistant PVC and nylon with aluminum or steel. They can be powered with paddles, oars or motors.

Buying Tips 

When shopping for pontoon boats, you need to take size into consideration so everyone in your boating party can have a place to sit. Then comes the question of condition, namely whether or not you’re buying new. The answers likely depend on your needs and budget. 

We also recommend spending a lot of time on research and comparing your options. If you find a good, knowledgeable dealer, this job becomes 10x easier.
