A Buyer’s Guide to Pontoons

While popular, pontoons aren’t always the easiest boats to shop for. These impressive barges can come in a range of sizes and prices, leaving new buyers scratching their heads at which models may be best for their needs. Thankfully, we’ve written up the helpful guide below to figure out which of the many pontoons on the market is right for you.

Size & Space

While pontoons are typically pretty sizable boats, they can vary in size quite a bit from model to model. To ensure your new pontoon fits your unique needs and preferences, you’ll want to consider the size of your model carefully. While you don’t want to choose a model that’s too small to accommodate all the family and friends you’d like to bring on deck, you also don’t want to pay more for extra space you don’t need. You’ll also want to remember that the larger your pontoon is the harder it will be to maneuver in smaller areas, and the more expensive it will be. 

Features 

Pontoons are very versatile models and often come with an enormous variety of different features and amenities for buyers to take advantage of. However, you’ll want to be careful not to overpay for features you may not necessarily need. We recommend creating a short list of must-have features and accessories you’d like on your pontoon before you decide to visit your local dealership. This way you’re less likely to overspend on expensive bells and whistles you may never use.
