Pontoon Boats Checklist

One or Two Person? Better think carefully. Two-person pontoon boats are large, heavy and not necessarily quick to setup. Unless you have a trailer, they can be a pain to lug around, too. By and large, if most of your fishing is done solo, it makes little sense to get a two-person boat for those "special occasion."
Check Weight Capacity. Pontoon boats differe markedly in their weight capacity. If you weigh 250 pounds, have 50+ pounds of gear, and the boat is rated at a 300 pound capacity, your boat will not handle well at all and will be sluggish. It's better to have "too much weight capacity" than to little.
Backpackable? Those backpackable pontoon boats are nifty. But, unless you do most of your fishing in the backcountry, most people are better off getting a larger boat since it offers greater flexibility, more options and a larger weight capacity.
All Those Options. Pontoon boats have numerous options and accessories you can attach to them. If you think you'd like to use a motor on your boat someday, make sure it either comes with or has an accessory you can purchase so as to be able to use a motor. Ditto for all those convenience things...such as rod holders, beverage holders, gear bags, the list is endless.
River Rating? Pontoon boats are fine boats, depending on the model, for use in rivers. However, some boats are only rated for Class II whitewater...not Class III. And very, very few boats are rated for Class IV. So, know the type of rivers you'll be fishing before buying a boat.
