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.


True, but when the aft of the deck is on the water, that's when I
think there's a bit too much weight up top. I'd hate to see all those
people and loaded coolers shift to the back, especially underway with
a churning prop.
