That's a good reminder on using common sense. Ive seen people out on
my favorite lakes that will have a 24' pontoon boat with about 25
people on it. it's so bad the the pontoons are about under water.

One thing about a pontoon boat is they have about the same buoyancy
with the pontoons under water as they do with them riding high and
dry. They still have the same amount of displacement.

OK, educate me

Terminology aside please, do the pontoons become more
buoyant or get more lift as they descend deeper into the water? Or once
the thing is completely submerged, does it remain the same regardless of
depth.. Oh, and why?
