If you were building a new pontoon what’s some of the new latest greatest or even just your must haves you would include?

A water gun/cannon for the channel, a large hard top or bimini top, ladder on front of the trailer, no red or blue lights, a slide if you have kids and a BBQ.

A driver...

You will never have a conversation with anyone besides yourself when you are behind the wheel

BBQ, thats an easy bolt on item though, and an eliptical center toon is huge. I have toons with and without, the oval center toon makes a huge difference in ability to get it out of the water on to plane, kind of sort of.

Running lights, inside and out. Toons are the best invention Ever for being on the water at night.

Thinking probably power steering.

The biggest fuel tank option and an auxiliary fuel tank. 😂

A real bimini. The alum square tube is junk. Go stainless or don’t bother. Min 300 hp, the trailers on a lot of them are junk too
