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."
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.
I will tell you firsthand we own a pontoon boat, which is also why we own a Sea-Doo for waters sports like tubing and skiing. The pontoon boat is great for cruising that’s what it’s designed for for waters sports not so much.
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.
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.
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.?
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
What are the diff sizes of pontoon boats? I wanna get my 1st boat but dont want a huge 2030 foot boat..Something small to take a lady friend or the kids on
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 .... th-cam.com/video/Ht0f3SbKxR8/w-d-xo.html
he where we, are if you have your keys on u then yes you can be charged...so leave the keys in the cottage and then you are good to sit in the pontoon boat and have a beverage or two
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.

Have a fun ride!
Got a 27' with 115hp inboard/outboard. $2500 stereo. Rocks. We love it! Best summer fun ever.
That’s amazing Ben!!
Do you do any tubing with that setup? We are looking for something 24 or under and looking for opinions on engine size. Thanks
@@answerace not much. We like the party barge vibe. Cruise, music and good cold beer. Then some on board BBQ for the win!
@@benrichards9667 we dig that too. Have a 8 and 11 year old that likes to tube but nothing fast/crazy

It's by far the most versatile style boat on the market.
Agreed Matt!

Because a pontoon boat is like a floating living room……without a fireplace 😁
I think that is a good thing 🤣
An electric one will fix that 😂
Just got a little Quest for our 10hp restricted lake. Love it so far.
That's fantastic; have fun out there!

I've seen a futon work...
The plywood minivans of the lake!
I love my pontoon boat.
So happy to hear it - tough to beat a day on the water in a pontoon!

I’m new to boats but I want something to fish fresh water with but my wife wants something that can also go into the bay is that possible?
Air BNB all day
Im doing my research
you got me togther brotha
Should I drive faster or slower when confronted with choppy water?
I have a question can you put the pontoon in saltwater ? For example around the bay were its more calm
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
How about rough water?
thank you so helpful:)
Videos nicely done 💯
very helpful 👌

Sun Tracker's smallest is a 16 foot "bass buggy".
Or if you want some friends ya buy a boat or pontoon so relaxing being on the water
Can I poop in a pontoon boat? If so can you recommend models?
I would suggest a model that has a pop-up changing room and then you can put like an RV/porta-potty toilet in there
You get a like just for the dad joke at the beginning.
Thanks for appreciating the corny ;)
Pontoon boats fatalities happen over 3x as a regular boat.

Fenders out.... Dragging in the water while pulling a tube...😂😂. Rookies... Pull in your fenders 🤔😑
Would having a glass of wine on your pontoon boat while tied to your dock be considered drinking and boating by the 👮 popo?
he where we, are if you have your keys on u then yes you can be charged...so leave the keys in the cottage and then you are good to sit in the pontoon boat and have a beverage or two
Salt water can pit in saltwater……
Put a 300 hp engine on the back of a 25 foot livingroom lmao
That beard tho.
They're absolutely is no benefit of owning a pontoon boat they are just the worst thing to ever own
What is your favourite boat type instead?
