Pontoon Boat
Understanding Pontoon Boats
If you are new to boats and boating, you may wonder how the pontoon boat got its name. Pontoons are cylindrical shaped objects that have the ability to float on water, and due to this characteristic, they were often used for large structures that required staying afloat. This included buildings and bridges that had to achieve this objective, whether permanently or temporarily. With such a useful trait, it was not long before some individuals hooked onto the idea of using pontoons to construct vessels that could stay afloat on water and transport humans and goods as well. The end result was the pontoon boat.
Pontoon boats are extremely popular due to its cost effectiveness compared to owning other types of boating vehicles, with people often looking out for used pontoon boats for sale in a bid to get cheap bargains. The variety of these boats are also mind boggling, ranging from the simple pontoon boat for recreational activities like a sunny day out in the sea, to the more sophisticated hunting and fishing boats built to withstand heavy duty use while participating in the sport. Despite the differences in uses and needs, they generally consist of the same generic design, with a deck built on top of the two cylindrical pontoons. The sizes of the decks and pontoons are dependant on the activity the boat is built for, and they can be made from many different types of material, such as wood. The main objective for these boats are to be lightweight due to its various needs, but to be sturdy enough to contain a sizable number of passengers and equipment used for the trips.
A simple pontoon boat will normally not have any protective railings around its peripheral, as they are used for recreational or even patrolling purposes in neighboring rivers or swamps. However, there are an increasing number of boats which are fitted with railings as a precautionary measure. Some of these pontoon boats even have a mini shelter or cabin built over them, for those who prefer a more sheltered design. Again the designs are kept simple because of the nature of use for these boats. You will hardly ever see anyone on a pontoon boat out in the ocean, as they are simply not built for rougher terrains or environments.
At the same time many prefer getting pontoon boats due to their lower cost and they can be a great vehicle for a family trip or gathering down by the lake or river. These vehicles are also much smaller in size and easier to manage and maintain. The variety of pontoon boats for sale also show the enduring popularity of these water vehicles and they remain affordable for most individuals who would like to own one without being set back a huge amount from buying a larger and more expensive vessel like yachts. New pontoon boats can be bought for just a few hundred dollars, and many retailers now include other extra accessories which make these purchases very much a bargain.

Has anyone tried leaving their pontoon boat in the water all winter in a northern state?
I'm wondering if the ice would damage my pontoons if I left my boat in the water of an 300 acre inland lake in Michigan. I suppose it would depend somewhat on how deep in the water the pontoons are. Just curious.
I would have to agree with the others on this...it's just not worth finding out what would happen.
