Pontoon Boat Recommendations
Some friends are considering a pontoon boat. I already suggested a deck
boat, but they really want the extra space. They will trailer it and have a Jeep Grand Cherokee as well as a Ford F350 DRW. What brands are considered to be the best in terms of quality and reliability? They are looking in the 20'-22' range with a modest 4-stroke OB motor - maybe 115-150hp. How important is a third pontoon for a boat like that? They will use it in the intracoastal, the St. John river, and inland lakes. Fishing isn't a priority. Thanks |

Thanks The Río de San Juan is properly known today as the Saint Johns River, not the St. John River. The "s" at the end of John is significantly part of its official name. |

Thanks Mrs. Wave and I looked into these last summer (ended up buying a deck boat instead - long story short - my son has it now), but from what I could see Bennington is a step above most of the other pontoons on the market. I also looked at an upper end Starcraft that was impressive, but from my perspective, Bennington is the one you should be looking into. |

I suggested Bennington only from the articles I've read about them. Thanks |
