Electric Pontoon Boats

Electric Pontoons are the fastest growing segment of the ever increasing Pontoon boat marketplace.

Lean, green and quiet, if you live on a lake that is small, bans internal combustion engines or is just too shallow for a gas motor, electric pontoons may be just the ticket. However, small boats and lakes are not the only use for electric power. Many people prefer electric power on their larger pontoon boats because it is more environmentally friendly and has no ongoing fuel costs. You can even add electric power to a boat that already has an internal combustion engine, and have the option of either power source as the location or occasion may dictate.

Electric power has come a long way and electric motors are now offered by many different manufacturers.
