| Construction Features & Benefits |
| PONTOONS |
|
Precisely Welded and Pressure Checked Guarantees tubes are free from leaks. Tubes are precisely welded and sealed after checking with a plug that can also be used to drain the tube in case of condensation or damage. A Protective Keel Runs the Full Length Protective keel runs full length on tube bottom and leading edge of nose cone. It provides additional strength to the tube, protects against damage and aids in boat tracking. Nose Cone with Splash Guard Nose cone with integral splash guard eliminates the need for weld on fins that can bend or break. Robust design with leading edge keel. .080", 5052 H32 Aluminum Tubes are constructed with heavy gauge .080" aluminum protects against damage. Baffling at seams adds strength. Pontoons Mounted Outside Deck Width Pontoons outside deck width provide the maximum amount of stability and allows use of crank up style trailer on 7' wide models |

Dual Saddle Brackets Each bracket is welded inside and out. Two brackets support each side of every cross channel with four contact points creating a well distributed and rigid attachment to each tube. Brackets are Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extruded style brackets made from 6063 T6 aircraft grade Aluminum are more uniform, harder and stronger than fabricated styles. They do not crease the material like formed brackets. 1/8" Cross Channels 1/8" Thick Extruded Cross Channels Made from 6063 T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum with Large Radius on Inside Corners. Channels are more uniform, harder and stronger than fabricated styles. Extra material on radius strengthens corners. NO formed angles that can weaken and stretch raw material. Cross channels are set on 24" centers (extra channels added to support motor mount). Channels on 24" Centers with Extra Channels Added to Support Motor Mount Durable and solid platform that minimizes deck twisting and provides a smooth ride. |
| MOTOR MOUNT |
|
Constructed Using 1/8" Thick Aluminum Heavy duty design easily carries the load of today's larger 4-stroke outboards. Four Stringers and (16) 3/8" Bolts Most models have this supporting the motor mount, it provides maximum support and minimizes vibration. |
| RAILS AND GATES |
|
Rails Shimmed Off Floor with Composite Spacers This allows water to drain out at all locations and prevents mold build up along railings. Full Length Gate Hinges We utilize a heavy duty full length aluminum gate hinge with a stainless steel hinge pin that provides maximum support and reduces warping. Dampening Liners Rails incorporate neoprene foam liners to dampen vibration and prevent rattling. Each Gate is Equipped with Pinch Protectors Prevents potential damage caused by items being wedged between the gate and stationary wall section. |
| DECKING |
|
3/4" Multi-Ply Treated XL Plywood Panel Decking XL Plywood panels carry a lifetime warranty against rot and insect infestation. 3/4" multiple layer plywood is the preferred panel for top pontoon builders. Plywood is unsurpassed in its ability to provide a rigid, stable platform while offering natural sound and vibration dampening for a smooth ride. Deck Trim Has Cross Channel Backing in Front and Rear Supports deck trim and prevents bending, particularly important when loading and unloading with a crank-up style trailer |
| WIRING |
|
Wiring harness is encased in a protective fire resistant plastic conduit. Wiring is run inside of tube brackets and secured with zip ties. Cross deck wiring is fastened at a minimum of every 18". Protects from chafing, snagging and improves long term reliability. |
| UPHOLSTERY |
|
33oz, SRT - Stain Resistant Top Coated Base Vinyls Long lasting puncture resistant material treated to resist mold and mildew. Top coating makes vinyl stain resistant and easy to clean. High Density Foam Designed to be Soft in the Back and Firm on the Cushion Our seat bases are stronger and provide more room for storage and offer better ventilation - at the floor where needed most. Fabricated Seat Bases Our seat bases are stronger,provide more room for storage, and offer better ventilation - at the floor where needed most. Vinyl Covered Seat Bases Covered bases provide a finished look that is nicer than bare plastic. |
| HELM STANDS |
|
Molded Fiberglass Helm Stands Fiberglass is very strong and has lasting beauty and durability that will not fade, scratch and twist like rotomold plastic helms |
