That’s the truth!
In our region a party boat is a pay-your-fare-and-go fishing boat, called a head boat in other areas. I guess this version of a party boat is a floating tavern? Music, beer and bikinis?
I am posting this on a pontoon boat in norris lake right now
When I was a kid my grandfather had a home-made yellow pontoon boat made out of oil drums and plywood with a small outboard motor on a lake in Minnesota. It was slow but fun.
I recall bartending on a pontoon at a resort in Minnesota once for a group of Ministers, all dressed in black robes...
Yes, bartending.
The marina forgot to put the drain plugs back in...
It took a while but eventually became a memorable scene to be sure!
Ahhhh......
I saw some guys raft three canoes together. They built a nice deck on it with rails and some lawn furniture. Small outboard and there you go...A pontoon.
We love pontoons! We rent one when we do the big family vacation on the lake. All of us can fit on it. You can pull the kids in a tube, go fishing & swimming off of them. Eat lunch and be comfortable in the shade of the canopy.
We have never tried water skiing with them so I don’t know anything about doing that but unless I was a serious skier a pontoon is the ultimate family boat and is very versatile.
My grandkids would have the time of their little lives on that pirate pontoon!
