    What is your opinion of pontoon boats?

    I have owned a pontoon boat for over 20 years and when I retired in 2020 I purchased a new tritoon, grandkids love it.

    This is a VERY informative video. I am about to take a ride on a friend's pontoon and I have some ambulatory issues. I am confident now, that I will be able to get on and off easily. At 62, I have no issue being called "an old man."

    Got a 27' with 115hp inboard/outboard. $2500 stereo. Rocks. We love it! Best summer fun ever.

      Do you do any tubing with that setup? We are looking for something 24 or under and looking for opinions on engine size. Thanks

    We've had many good times on our pontoon boat. Really brings a group together. Plus, the are so versatile. You can fish, lounge, party, tubing, swim, BBQ, and relax.

    Because a pontoon boat is like a floating living room……without a fireplace 😁

    I have a 24 ft suntracker with mercury 115 hp. The water was choppy and the boat other boats went by adding to the waves. Should I have slowed down or continued driving at the 3 rpm’s.?

    Wow great video. Retiring from Colorado to Holister Missouri on table Rock. We love to camp alot. Selling RV to get a Pontoon boat. One problem is can't find a seating system that can convert to a bed for camping on a Pontoon boat. Don't want a huge house boat just get a bed. What boat brand could I find with seating to convert to a bed system. Our RV had jack knife system that easily convert to a queen bed. Any ideas.

    • @jaxrican1
      @jaxrican1 Před 11 měsíci

      Get a Sea-Doo Switch. We have our seats set as a bed. You can configure seating however you please. We got the camper enclosure and have spent the night out on the water (with a mosquito zapper on board). Take a look at them, it may work for you too.

    Pontoon boats fatalities happen over 3x as a regular boat.

    I have a question can you put the pontoon in saltwater ? For example around the bay were its more calm

    • @boatinglessons
      @boatinglessons  Před 2 lety

      Yes, we do see that. The aluminum does corrode very quickly, so we would recommend it be removed after use and washed off with fresh water (either on a lift or trailer

    OK but have yall seen the wooden pontoon boat that supposedly blows other pontoons out of the water? Heavier yet faster with less horse power, allows for thrilling watersports with the amount of power that even the most popular pontoon boats can only offer pleasure cruising oh and they claim it can be passed down for generations! Crazy right? Yeah maybe but then I saw this video ....
