New pontoon

A new pontoon! Exciting!

Here are some things to consider when buying a new pontoon:

1. Size: How many people will be using the pontoon? Do you need a small, intimate space or a larger, more social area?
2. Material: Pontoon boats are typically made of aluminum or fiberglass. Aluminum is more durable and resistant to corrosion, while fiberglass is lighter and easier to maintain.
3. Length: Longer pontoon boats offer more space and stability, while shorter ones are more maneuverable and easier to store.
4. Width: A wider pontoon provides more stability and space, but may be more difficult to handle in tight spaces.
5. Depth: A deeper pontoon can accommodate more passengers and provide more storage, but may be more difficult to handle in shallow waters.
6. Features: What features are important to you? Do you want a pontoon with a Bimini top, a changing room, or a built-in cooler?
7. Budget: Pontoon boats can range in price from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Set a budget and stick to it.
8. Brand and quality: Research different brands and models to find one that fits your needs and budget. Look for reviews and ratings to ensure you're getting a high-quality pontoon.
9. Warranty: Check the warranty offered by the manufacturer and what it covers.
10. Test drive: Once you've narrowed down your options, take the pontoon for a test drive to ensure it's the right fit for you.
