Tahoe Fisher Pontoon Boat

Product Details
Convenience and rugged reliability are what you get with this pontoon boat. Forget about time wasted blowing up pontoons. These 6-ft. hard pontoons never need to be inflated and are nearly punctureproof. The entire assembled unit easily fits between the wheel wells of a short-bed pickup with the tailgate up. The flat-top design forms a table-like workspace so items will not roll off as with most inflatables. The pontoon access port has a friction-fit plug that provides ample dry storage for extra clothing layers and valuables. Top center of the pontoon accepts a small ice chest or small gear-storage box. Frame is TIG-welded of lightweight, but strong aircraft-aluminum alloy. Adjustable footrests can be rotated 90 for use as a kick boat. Four molded-in rectangular storage bins. Convenient cup holders. Padded folding seat. Molded-in oar rests and asymmetric cloverleaf rod and net holder. Fly-fishing apron with ruler. Large aluminum cargo deck. Includes 6-ft. breakdown oars. Weight: 63 lbs. Weight capacity: 350 lbs....

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. |
