I have be considering buying a mini pontoon boat to take into retirement. Pond King makes a a nice model. I am looking at the easy of getting in and out of it and the stability.

Does anybody have any experience with these smaller pontoons and the pros and cons?

I don't need a big 18 foot, just a 10 or 12 footer that I can pull easily with my truck to small ponds and lakes.

I already have a new 9.9 Yamaha that I am planning on using which I think would work nicely.

Nihsif -That thing is pretty cool. I don’t know about the littler one, but the 21’ top of the line model is really nice. I did a little research after reading your article and they are pretty unique and at under $40k it looks like a bargain. I’ve been looking for a pontoon for my slip, but as you know the prices and availability are kinda crazy right now. I’m going to have to see if I can find some reviews and see how they compare to conventional pontoon boats.

I know this is probably not what you are looking for, but I think it's a pretty cool concept

Size it to the biggest lake you may fish.  I have a 17 ft with a 25 to handle Pewaukee.  I have looked at much smaller,  but either would not trust them in a sudden storm and weight capacities.  Plus the smaller ones did not have a lot of height above water.  Rode on flat pontoons instead of tubes  . 

With a trailer and engine,  about 5500.00 a few years ago .
