Used Starcraft Pontoon in Florida, USA

Check pontoon tubes for dents, cracks, corrosion, and leaks; inspect welds and baffles. Review engine hours, service history, upholstery condition, electrical systems, and trailer condition if included. Sea trial for handling and noise is essential.

Use a transporter experienced with wide or tall loads and boat cradles. Measure height with stacked rails and accessories; confirm permits for oversize loads if needed. For long distances, consider professional shrink-wrap and insurance for transit.

Maintain the engine with scheduled oil, filter, and lower-unit service; flush cooling systems after use in saltwater. Inspect pontoons for corrosion and drains, clean and protect upholstery and decking, check trailer bearings and brakes, and winterize if stored in cold climates.
