Whats a pontoon boat?
A pontoon boat is a twin hulled boat similar to a catamaran. The pontoons are the flotation devices and are mounted lengthwise. They can be made of steel, concrete, steel, GRP or be inflatable. The hard hulled pontoon boats are used to support a platform on which can be a deck, accommodation or even a full houseboat. Usually the personal pontoon boats are of the inflatable type so they are lightweight and have pontoons which range between 6 ft and 10 ft long and 12″ to 16″ diameter. They are most popular in the USA where they were designed and are used mainly for fishing, sport or just recreation.
