If you are thinking about purchasing a boat you might want to look into pontoon boats. There are many reasons for this, and there are many pros into buying a pontoon boat compared to other types of boats. The biggest plus in my opinion is you get more square footage per dollar than any other kind of boat that is out there.
Pontoon boats offer great square footage because of the deck design which is flat shaped. Below the deck are the floating metal cylinders that keep the boat floating and prevent the boat from rocking back and forth too much, these cylinders are known as pontoons.
If you want maneuverability and speed then you may want to invest some extra money into getting a boat that has three pontoons instead of the more common two. A pontoon boat with only two pontoons can achieve fast speeds but it will not maneuver as well as one that has three.
One of the nicknames that floats around for pontoon boats is the party boat. This is because there is so much room on these types of boats, you can have many people on them at once. Therefore a lot of owners will use them as a place to party on the water.
When it comes to customization the options are almost endless with a pontoon boat. You can have carpet, furniture, a bathroom, sun roof or bimini top, or anything else that you can think of on a pontoon boat. This is why they are rented more often in the United States than any other boat.
Many anglers also choose pontoon boats to turn into fishing vessels. You will have no problem storing all of your fishing gear, bait buckets and coolers on a pontoon boat. The extra space and flat deck make it easier to throw cast nets and toss out fishing lines.
Pontoon boats that are made for fishing could have things like spot lights, which would be great for night fishing, trolling motors, multiple rod holders, and even built in live wells to keep your live bait good.
One bad thing about pontoon boats is that they are not designed to be taken offshore at all, meaning stay out of the ocean. There is only a foot or two of space from the water to the front of the bow, so waves can easily crash over the bow and flood the boat. - 16492
