don't see people saying you can't run a pontoon there.


==========================================

I've spent a lot of time on Lake Ontario and a fair amount of time on
Lake Michigan, and have never seen a pontoon boat on either one, nor
would I recommend it. I've seen pontoon boats on small lakes take
water over the deck from even small wakes.

I'm now living ten miles from the gulf, and certainly there are many
calm days when you could go out on an inner tube but that doesn't make
it a good idea. Things change too quickly and there's always the
unexpected large wake to contend with.
