Despite good advice to the contrary folks will do incredibly
stupid things in
boats. What's most troubling to me is the encouragement
they get from this

The person asking the question is a pilgrim.

Why provide bad advice to him. Can one "get away with"
taking a pontoon boat
offshore? Certainly, usually. Should one tempt fate in
such a way? IMO,
no.... particularly with others aboard.
