What is a Pontoon?

Firstly, let’s make sure everyone knows how to spot a pontoon. In order to be sure of what you’re looking at, you have to check the hull. Pontoon boats get their name from the hollow tubes used to keep them afloat. The idea of pontoons dates back to ancient China in the 11th century BCE. These were initially used for floating bridges, which are still used, especially in the military. 

But you’ll probably be more interested in their more modern applications in pontoon boats. The pontoons are fixed under the deck to keep the vessel light and aerodynamic. Pontoons are also known for their spacious decks, which is why they can be a great option for bigger boating parties. They also have higher sides to keep everyone safely on the boat (when they want to be on the boat, that is) and they’re easy to handle. In this sense, even if you’re new to boating, a pontoon can be a great option. 

Family-Friendly Floating

Other than the spacious deck and high sides, pontoons are also stable. They’re wide, which makes them difficult to rock back and forth. While many boats won’t have a high risk of tipping over, this additional stability you get with a pontoon can also help reduce seasickness. 

The extra space also lends itself to additional cargo room. You’ll have lots of storage solutions so you can bring along all your supplies, whether that’s fishing gear, some extra food, emergency supplies, or games. And hanging out on deck will be more comfortable with plush seating. 

For the pontoon owner, you’ll find maintenance and handling are a breeze, no matter how experienced you may, or may not, be. They’re affordable and durable, so up-front and long-term spending won’t be as big of an issue. They can even be less expensive to insure. Even with their luxuries, these models might be the right financial choice for you.

With all this in mind, it’s time to stop by your premier pontoon dealer, Holzhauer Pro Motorsports. We’ll give you the complete tour of available models, including Sunchaser pontoons for sale, here in Nashville, Illinois, serving St. Louis.
