Pontoon Boats
Unless you’ve been hiding under a dock, you probably know that pontoon boats are in the middle of a straight-up, full-blown renaissance. So, what’s all the fuss about?
Pontoon boats are an increasingly popular way to get out and enjoy the water with your friends and family. And, there are lots of good reasons why.
Thanks mainly to advances in pontoon tube design, new boatbuilding materials, innovations in outdoor fabrics, and lighter, more efficient outboard engines, pontoon boats are no longer the relatively slow, somewhat cumbersome “party barges” they’ve traditionally had a reputation for being.
Today we see pontoon boats with as much as 900 horsepower strapped to the stern and top speeds in the 60s. Many also have interiors that look and feel as nice as the inside of a fine luxury automobile. They can carve a turn, too, with performance pontoon “tube” packages that allow them to corner as well as many conventional fiberglass-hulled boats.
But what if you’ve never considered a pontoon boat? What if pontoon tube design makes as much sense to you as, say, rocket science? Or what if you’re not sure if a pontoon boat is right for you? Well, our aim here is to give you enough of a foundation in pontoon boat basics that you can wisely research, choose, and then find the right pontoon boat for you—or maybe decide if a different type of boat is a better bet for your style of boating.
Read our complete guide to Pontoon Boats where we’ll discuss the ins and outs of this fun, relaxing, yet exciting class of boats.

Think pontoon boats are slow and ungainly? Think again.
What is a pontoon boat?
The best place to start is with what a pontoon boat actually is. Generally speaking, it’s any sort of boat with a large, flat deck that’s mounted atop two or more metal tubes called pontoons. Boats with three pontoons are sometimes called “tri-toons.” These pontoons—or “tubes” for short—contain a lot of reserve buoyancy and allow designers to create massive deck plans fitted with all sorts of accommodations, such as expansive lounge areas, stand-up bars, and sun pads. Better tube design has also allowed builders to put ever-increasing amounts of horsepower on the stern.
Pontoon Boat Construction
The most basic of pontoon boats start out with two relatively plain, round tubes that taper to a point at the forward end. They’re almost always made out of welded sheets of marine-grade aluminum. Inside the tubes is where fuel tanks usually reside, as well as stowage areas. Atop these tubes is where manufacturers weld deck support channels and cross beams—the support structures to which the pontoon’s deck will be mounted. These support channels are what give a pontoon its rigidity, a key component in the ride and feel of a pontoon boat.

The devil is in the details, when it comes to pontoon boat construction. Knowing the right questions to ask about a pontoon boat's components can prevent headaches down the road. Note the fuel tank in the center tube, aft, and the stowage area farther forward.
Next, comes the deck. Most builders use varying grades and thicknesses of plywood covered with carpet or vinyl flooring materials. Aluminum “fencing” and side panels come in next around the perimeter of the deck before seats, lounges, helm unit, and other interior components and mechanical and electrical systems are added. Engine(s) are the icing on the cake before the pontoon rolls off the factory floor.
In addition to inquiring about warranties that cover tubes, deck, and other components, it’s definitely worth doing your research and asking plenty of questions about construction methods and materials. Questions such as, “How do you waterproof and treat the deck?” or “How are the support structure and tubes engineered?” are good ones to ask or research on your own. The better the materials, craftsmanship, and engineering are, the better—and longer lasting—the pontoon boat will be.
Pontoon Boat Options
Something you will discover when it comes to pontoon boats is that manufacturers will generally build one for you in any number of configurations and with all sorts of options and add-ons. So much so, in fact, that it can become intimidating and/or confusing. Maybe you’d like four chaise lounges, purple upholstery, and sea grass-look floors. No problem. Or maybe you want a double-decker, twin-engine pontoon with a waterslide and joystick docking. While these options can send a 24-footer with a base price of $20,000 quickly into the stratosphere, it’s a good idea to know which ones you’ll want and make the most use of.

Your imagination is about the only limitation, when it comes to customizing a pontoon boat.
Interior/Exterior Packages
Pontoon boats are highly modular, meaning each model can have as many as a 20-plus different exterior and interior layouts and schemes. And if that wasn’t confusing enough, there’s generally dozens of different fabric, upholstery, floor covering, and graphics packages to consider. Phew. The good thing is that most manufacturers have websites where you can build and price your pontoon just the way you want it, from the Bimini top down to the accent graphics, in virtual reality.
Engines
Almost every pontoon model available, from 14 to 30 feet, comes with a standard engine that almost anyone would find underwhelming. This means most folks end up opting for a larger, more powerful power plant or power plants. Consider how fast you really want to go, how much fuel you can afford to burn, and what you’ll be using the pontoon boat for. Most outboard manufacturers have performance and fuel consumption bulletins available for many of the new boats that use their engines, so it's worth doing some research on their websites, too. Analyzing this data will give you a general idea of the size engine you’ll want on your pontoon.
Also, remember that choosing an outboard for a pontoon is somewhat different than it is with other boats. Some engines are specifically designed for pontoons, and in other cases, special propellers or gear ratios are in order. Read Outboards for Pontoon Boats, to learn more about the specifics.

Pontoon boat builders use all sorts of tube engineering to get better performance out of their pontoon boats, such as keels, under-deck skins, elliptical-shaped tubes, and lifting strakes.
Performance Pontoon Packages
These performance-oriented packages often add an additional tube or larger tubes, tubes with lifting strakes and/or keels, under-deck skins, or tubes that are specially shaped—and more. These special tube “add-ons” not only improve performance—especially in turns—but also provide additional buoyancy, which means larger engines can be fitted, upping your speed game.

This Premier pontoon boat has all of its systems integrated into an in-dash touchscreen unit, one of many electronics options available on pontoon boats.
Electronics/Sound Systems
Pontoon boat helms don’t generally have extensive marine electronics aboard. But, if you’re a tech nerd, there are plenty of builders who have options such as integrated touch panel control systems, chartplotters, and other electronic gizmos to keep you happy.
Stereos are also a big deal on pontoon boats, in case you didn’t know. One builder, we looked at offers 18 different stereo and speaker combinations on each of its pontoons. Oh, and then there are the LED lighting packages. While some of these packages might seem tacky, many actually increase the usability of the boat during low light periods, lighting up cup holders and strategic deck areas.
Types of Pontoon Boats
Though you will find a scattering of pontoon boats in coastal areas, they’re most commonly found on inland lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the like. And their owners use them for all sorts of different activities, from watersports to fishing and everything in between. Let’s take a look at some of the various types of pontoons you’ll encounter and what they’re designed to do.

Yes, do the math and that's 900 horsepower you see on the back of this Premier Dodici 310.
Performance Pontoons
If you’ve got a need for speed, a pontoon with lots of horsepower on the stern might just be your ticket. These “rocketoons,” as we’ve heard them called, can have as much as 900 ponies. And, with the right performance pontoon package as discussed above, you’ll be carving turns at thrilling speeds.
Consider the Premier Dodici 310 or the Bennington 30 Club Twin for starters. The Dodici has three—yes three—300-horsepower Evinrude E-TEC two-stroke outboards and a top end of 60 MPH. There’s even a pub layout with a full stand-up bar and lounge seating. The Bennington Club twin has twin 300-horsepower Yamaha F300s, 300 square feet of deck space, and a 50 MPH top end. You’ll find no shortage of excuses to go fast in this category.

The Manitou Xplode 23 SRS SHP is built for watersports such as skiing, tubing, and wakeboarding.
Watersports Pontoons
You can tow tubers, skiers, and wake boarders with just about any pontoon that has enough horsepower and some sort of towing pole or mount, but there’s a class of pontoons that are designed specifically for the tasks. They often have metal sports arches with towline mounts, brackets for boards and skis, and splashy graphics and interior schemes.
The Aqua Patio AP 250 XP is one such watersports speed demon, equipped with a 350-horsepower Yamaha F350 four-stroke outboard. It’s also got a watersports tower, under-deck board stowage, and an overall sporty appearance that looks great going 60 MPH across the water.

The Bennington 2575 QCW is equipped to the nines, including a custom mahogany fencing scheme.
Luxury Pontoons
Luxury pontoons are all about comfort. Think sumptuous, buttery upholstery and seating arrangements so comfortable it feels as if you’re lying on a cloud. Top-end models have joystick steering, twin engines, huge chaise lounges, full stand-up bars, and cool-looking LED lighting and fencing schemes.
A few examples of these cushy vessels include the Harris FloteBote Crowne 250, Premier Sunsation 270 Walk-On, and the Premier 290 Grand Entertainer.

Pontoon boats also generally have low draft, making them great for getting up into skinny water.
