If you are debating whether to invest in a pontoon boat or a deck boat, you came to the right place! Pontoon boats and deck boats share many of the same features and benefits, so it can be hard to choose between the two. This guide will explain the key differences between pontoon boats and deck boats, so you can make an informed decision.

Customization

Both pontoon boats and deck boats are available with a wide assortment of layouts and features. That said, if you want the option to further customize your boat after making a purchase, you might want to go with a pontoon boat. Deck boats are usually made with rigid fiberglass, so it will be harder to add and remove features on a whim.

Performance

Pontoon boats are very stable in calm waters. That said, when the going gets rough, they can be a lot harder to handle. If you want a boat that can weather the wind and waves, a deck boat is a much better choice. Because they are made with heavier materials, deck boats can more easily withstand the elements compared to pontoons.

Price Point

Both pontoons and deck boats can range in price from $20,000 to over $150,000. Of course, the price depends on the size, features, and overall quality of the boat in question. However, pontoon boats are usually the more inexpensive of the two options. If you want the most bang for your buck, consider a pontoon for your next boat purchase!
