Used Sun Tracker Pontoon in Missouri, USA

Overview

Pontoon boats are flat-decked powerboats supported by two or more aluminum tubes (pontoons) that provide buoyancy and a stable platform for leisure, fishing, or light commercial use. They’re prized for roomy decks, easy boarding, and predictable handling at low speeds. Sizes range from small day boats to large luxury models with cabins and powerful outboard motors, making them versatile for lakes, rivers, and sheltered coastal waters.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used pontoon?

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.

How do I arrange shipping or transport for a pontoon?

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.

What regular maintenance does a pontoon need?

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.
