- The 2020 Chicago Boat Show was a definite eye opener for me. Never have I seen so many incredible pontoon/Tritoon boats under one roof.
My goal was to do quick walkthroughs of all the pontoon boats I saw at this show.Some of these pontoons were simply jaw dropping. Keep in mind being from South Florida we dont see much or know much about this style of boat.
Lets walk the Chicago Boat Show and see what boats interest you. Comment below I'm curious to know which one was your favorite.

We live in Arizona and own a 24’ Sun Tracker Pontoon. Love these boats. Thanks for doing this Awesome video.
This was the best video on pontoon boats I’ve seen. You done a better job on the reviews of the pontoons than all of the other videos I’ve watched. Thank you for a great video.
Alfred you sold me on the Sylvan/Starcraft bar/sun lounger boat...ordered and being built as we speak. Went and saw one in person after looking at many models and this has the most versatility and WOW factor of all I have seen in this price range and so many ways to use it with the bar and sun lounger configurations....can't wait for next spring. Thanks for the video from a fellow videographer.
Pontoon style has come a loooonnnnggggg way in the last 20--30 years. Family used to have one back in the 90's and it was almost embarrassing to be seen in. I'd rock a lot of these any day.
totally loved the bar made into a bed boat... I think the sylvan about 17 minutes into the video. new dream boat for me!
I have the Manitou Legacy and not a complaint in the world. Beautiful boat with plenty of power from it's 150 Evinrude E-Tec. Love the video!
I have an Oasis with a 225 Suzuki and love it as well.
I am in the learning stages on boats and boating. Thank you for sharing your video.
The bar boat was amazing. I think I want it bad!
Thanks for the beautiful video, Alfred. Thumbs up to Laura! Going to get me a pontoon soon.
yes up here in minnesota we love pontoons! best way to enjoy lake living
he said "i didnt know Pontoons were like this, Living in Miami, then again, I don't chill in lakes" hahahaha meanwhile, The Pontoon game is strong in Salt Water locals as well!!! I have a 24ft South Bay 522 CR Tritoon, with a Yamaha Vmax 200... Salt Water in NJ all season long every year. just gotta maintain em right with the proper protections... Great Video!! thanks for the nice long walk around!!! our Boat Show here in NJ may be Canceled this year... (Hopefully not) but this got me my fix hahah
Great video. Just started researching, so this was really helpful to a first time buyer.
I'd pick that South Bay SuperSport with the 250 Merc! ohhh yeah 👍
Prices man, give us the prices. Always makes me push harder to get some awesome things!
No one will give you prices . That's too much info
Good show .
Thank you for a great video!!
Beautifully made them pontoon boats they just got better and better 👍your the travelling boat show Alfred I'm in south Australia we don't have rigs like that here and that's why I love ya show buddy awesome stuff
Alfred you’re the Man!
Ed you see anything you liked?
Awesome tour,a lot to cover in that time period,thank you for being lured in by that 17995 price board,that would be me,currently shopping for a 4 position fishing rig that can also tow a wakeboarder and be towed by a half ton pickup,I am currently favoring Lowe as a brand because they offer quality without paying an arm and a leg but final choice is still tbd
which models are you looking at. im in the market for the same thing.
Looking at the 194,it has 4 position fishing chairs and one couch,you can add a pontoon and put a 115 on it with a tow pylon and still be at around 2000 lbs,their website has the build a boat feature,I recommend it,still haven’t touched base with a dealer to check delivery times and possible trade in
As someone who grew up on the lake; I'm amazed they make pontoon boats without livewells... I honestly never understood that someone would go out and not fish lol
As someone who fished off a pontoon for years, it's not that big a deal. You are generally near where you will clean or consume the fish. Lots of guys up here just clean the fish on a tray on the front deck. Fishing pontoons (just a regular pontoon that a fisherman will customize) will often have a table inside the fence for cleaning as they are less concerned about stains on the carpet. If you are going to be fishing for hours and need a live well, they have portable live well coolers you just set on the deck and either run off battery or plug into a cigarette lighter. Most of them have aerators for the fish, but some guys will actually put a small pump on the cooler and just drop the intake hose into the water either under the fence or just through a hole they drilled.
Amazing...great design...
Thanks for the video, Alfred.👍 I just wished you would have focused on the prices of each boat. That would have been really helpful.
They don't want to scare people away with the prices
I have been enjoying your wide variety of videos for the past couple months now. I enjoyed your boat show videos too. We just sold our Regal boat and ordered an Avalon 2022 24' LSZ Versatile Rear Lounge. Let me know if you are ever up in our area - Lake Murray, SC.
Love colors
THanks to Laura that was helpful. Sweet Boat!
awesome vid! keep crushing it Alfred!
Will do!
Nice video but I would have like to have hear you tell us which model each was. You should have pointed out that some were tirtoons and that third pontoon give you the storage space from the deck. In 2018 we purchased a Sylvan 8425. I put a 150 Honda on it. It is great for the Intercoast here in Palm Coast Florida. We chose this because my wife picked it out at the Philly boat show 2 years in a row without even knowing which she had picked.
I own a Southbay sport with a 300 hp Mercury Verrado love it
Best video yeah
I miss going to boat shows...dam COVID!! I believe it's pronounced Manatoo. I seen a crest with 2; 400 racing Merc's
Why didn’t you video some of the price tags🤨
I think I’m going to go to this in 2023
Great video. Really enjoyed it. I was wondering, what camera did you use?
How would I know which one I would pick? I can't answer since you didn't include the prices and options.....
Just bought a 2020 Bennington 22SSX APG with a Mercury 150.
I have a South Bay great Pontoon
Thanks nice filmmaker
Alliant Energy Center! I was there not even a month after you were!
I take that back. Would have been within a week or two because I was there the last Thursday in January.
Bro....I just want to thank you for this video...I had no idea...Plontoon 4 me please!!
Maybe in future walk throughs open the storage areas , drawers. When looking at yahts i like to see all they have to offer . Gret vid otherwise.
Damn the pontoons came a long way from looking like it belongs on some river in Vietnam to this.
Just bought one of those South Bay 222CR's from Munson on Friday. Nice mid level pontoon.
When exactly was this? Cuz no way middle of the year 2020 was this able to happen.
HI, how much for one of these, the basic one. thank you for your videos
Omg sweet boats I'm sold.
Whichever motor you see the most of on these pontoon boats,that's usually the one with the best warranty..jmo.
Not true at all
We had a similar show here 8n Baltimore covid-19 shit it down for this year
OMG! My "like" was 666. I ain't gettin' a pontoon boat for my B'day! Love your vids Alfred. Can you do a "sea trial" of one of these? Or maybe, a "lake" trial?
Artie I have done some pontoon videos in the past
@@AlfredMontaner Cool. I'll look for them.
I will buy one if I migrate to Florida
Incredible!
Спасибо !
I feel like I'm back in the hospital on a heart monitor with the beeping noise
My gimbal was tired !
Do they still have changing room or place for porta pot
Yes they do.
ALL YOU NORMALLY SHOW ARE CENTRE CONSOLE ..HAHAHA DID THAT $25K ONE HAVE A MOTOR?? THESE THINGS ARE SO BIG ON THE ST LAWERENCE RIVER.. FAVORITE HAS TO BE ONE SET UP FOR FISHING...WOW
Love your videos but can you start putting the price please.

3:23 “feels really long”……that’s what she said….LoL
Manitou twin-engine, joy stick.
Who else was interested in the 2020 sea doos In the back I have 2019 was interested in the manitou explode XT
Let's see some set up for fishing
Are there any pontoons that have porta potties like how Four Winns boats have?
Yes, Premier has one
Hows Godfrey? Yamaha motors
Southbay
There are more pontoons on my Home lake than any other boat you should really check out the Sun Tracker Legacy addiction Sun Tracker Harris Crist have been around the longest
i wish he would slow down it's like a kid at walt-disney my head is spinning
Yes I decided to buy pootun.love them stable to stand on has little everything.
Where's The Fishing Pontoon's ?......... : )
Man-it-too
Any saltwater fishing triple-toon
I like the one I can afford
yea, they are NOT your grandpa's pontoon anymore...
No Godfrey's :(.
Man-it-to
where a 107k vessel looks exactly like a 17k one
i was impressed with that first boat around 25k at the 2min mark, thats all you need
All buy
Very interesting, please go to Afina boats, they are similar, but a real motor boat 🙂🤟
And not 1 bennington w twin 425s?
If all goes well I’ll be signing the papers tomorrow for my new Harris w/ Mercury 150hp.
Cross you fingers and maybe say a lil prayer for me 😊
If one of these companies figures out how to put a functional head on their boats, they'll sell like hotcakes.
James Glenn many people put a portapot in the pop up changing room
Alfred I love your channel but its SHI-Cago not CHEE-Cago :)
Shit cago Got it !
Wow his "Production" did not come true I did not buy any boats after watching vid wow. 😂
You need to look at Premier Pontoons, nothing else comes close Dude.
SHOW THE PRICES!!!
2022 who eles whished they bought at these prices 😢
At 3 miles per gallon.imagine the money you will spend using a pantoon.
These aren't your grandpas pontoons
I simply don’t understand why the pontoon industry is doing away with the starboard gate. Makes no sense.
Phil because they do surveys and most people say they don’t use it, we don’t use ours
My friend owns a Ponton boat. the one that can take 9 people. 3 miles per gallon.no thanks
I have a Manitou tritoon and you will not find a better performance 'toon on the market..
You should be carefull in the water, many people died under it
noone wear mask there or what???
we not ready for covid!, sucks
shame
You did not go over any its like a 10 year old did this.
Na not for me it’s like sofa’s on water
I was thair
ugh...the beeping noise...
Gimbal was dying
Alfred, no, pontoon boats are NOT sexy. They look like your front room with an engine. Double sofas on water, perleese. Get back to proper boats handsome.
I don't support foreign industry. Just sayin.
Clearly this guy doesn't know what he's talking about
Prefer a hurricane
do any come with heads ?
