Versatile and stylish, Deck and Pontoon boats have come a long way in comfort, style and speed in recent years. And both feature easy access, roomy floor plans and versatile options for water sports.…
Pontoon or Deck Boat?
What you need to know.
Cruising at slow/medium speeds:
You’ll be thrilled with a two-tube pontoon boat with a 40-60 HP Outboard. Pick your trim and motor size to fit your budget and enjoy the ride. Our most popular choice is the Harris Cruiser 200
Cruising with moderate speed and some basic water sports:
Step up to a three-tube pontoon boat with a minimum of 115 HP. You’ll reach speeds of 50 KPH, and the kids will have a blast tubing or basic water skiing. Check out the Harris Cruiser 200 with the sport tube option
Luxurious cruising with ample speed and multiple water sport options:
Three-tube luxury pontoon boats are both gorgeous and versatile with 150, 200 or even 300 HP engines. Imagine sleekly whisking across your lake at speeds of 50 MPH in total comfort. Feast your eyes on the Harris Grand Mariner 250 or the Harris Solstice 230 DC (Click)
Versatile bowrider with room for the entire group:
A 19 or 21 foot deck-boat with a minimum of 115 HP provides comfort, speed and easy handling in rough water. Many families love the Bayliner 190 DB
Big group cruising & full-on water sports:
Look no further than a deck-boat with a larger motor and perhaps a wakeboard tower. The wake from deck boat hulls are better for wakeboarding and skiing than any pontoon boat. Hit it with the Bayliner 215 DB with the optional wakeboard tower (Click)
