Trailering a pontoon boat

Things that I'm thinking about is how hard to load/unload, ease of towing, etc. Also, do you all fish with yours using an electric trolling motor? One thing I'm wondering is how they handle while using the trolling motor in the wind? Much difference than a bass boat? As you know, they are popular on inland lakes as a party barge, but they would be hard to handle in a cove with a electric trolling motor, ESPECIALLY, with any kind of wind. *You have much more wind surface to act as a sall on a pontoon boat than you do on a bass boat. If you want a boat to act as a floating dock, to bring lots of people to spend the day on the water and to be able to have a grill and picnic on the water, and maybe do some fishing, go with a pontoon boat. If you want to be able to do serious fishing, working the shoreline and coves with a trolling motor, go with a bass boat. I've already got a bass boat. |
