Carrying Capacity

Pontoon boating is more fun when friends and family come along. Before you buy a boat, consider how many people you expect to carry on it. For one to five people, a 15-foot-long boat is sufficient. For six to 10 people, you'll want something in the range of 16 to 21 feet.

Like cars, pontoon boats depreciate by as much as 25 to 35 percent in the first year of ownership. So if you are willing to buy last year's model, you can get a $40,000 boat for a reasonable $26,000 to $30,000 price range.

Mid-Size Pontoon Boats

Mid-size 18 to 24-foot pontoon boats are well suited for lakes and rivers that don't have large waves. Mid-size boats are well-equipped to seat up to 13 passengers. You'll be able to enjoy making memories with even more company aboard.

Typically, a well-maintained pontoon boat can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years or even longer. However, the lifespan is influenced by factors such as material quality, maintenance practices, environmental conditions, and frequency of use.

And since they come with outboard motors, winterizing becomes a smaller task than with sterndrive or inboard motors. Because of that, pontoons provide a big return on a person's investment. In terms of resale value, pontoons are phenomenal—the best boat segment overall.

Our test boat was equipped with a 300-horsepower Mercury Verado four-stroke outboard, and let me tell you, not only was the engine smooth and quiet it was powerful, propelling our 254 DL3 to a top speed of 48 mph. At that speed, the gauges showed a fuel burn of about 28 gallons per hour.

Is It Ocean-Worthy? Taking this kind of boat into the ocean is definitely possible, with some considerations. Pontoon boats are capable of handling coastal waters and some ocean conditions, but they have limitations. You must use them responsibly and be fully aware of what they can do before taking them into the ocean.

Ever wondered how much does a pontoon boat motor cost? The price can range anywhere from under $100 to $100,000 and above, and this massive variation arises from a combination of factors including the power, brand, model, features, and more.

So, a 22' boat with no load may get up to 29 mph, but it will likely slow down to 24.5 mph with 1,000 pounds of people in the boat (5 or 6 adults).

General Rule for Selecting Shaft Length

The rule that I usually go by is to take the distance from where the motor will be mounted (usually the top of the deck) down to the water. Then add 18 to 22 inches (46 to 56 centimeters).

For example, let us take a twenty-foot boat that is eight feet wide. In this example, we would round it down to ten average-sized people.
