Twelve pontoons that will fit (and exceed) the bill.
BY LAKELAND BOATING STAFF
THESE DAYS pontoons are not only functional and powerful — they are fun and can even be the epitome of luxury. Whether you’re looking for an entry-level model to dip your toes into the boating lifestyle, are seeking a new watersports or fishing platform, or are looking to retire into a luxurious, fully equipped model offering all the bells and whistles, there’s a huge range of pontoon options out there. You can find models that go an eye-popping 60 mph, offer comfortable and convertible seating arrangements, windshields, bars — or perhaps just what you need and nothing more. Sky’s the limit!
A lighted bistro bar table with stools and an Infinity Bluetooth stereo make this pontoon party central. Soak up the sun on this sporty, midlevel model with a comfortable and convertible ultralounge.
