This might seem like a no-brainer at the outset for some of us, but buying a used pontoon boat requires as much, if not more, consideration than buying a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New pontoon boats are great because they come with the peace of mind that you\u2019re not paying some of your hard-earned money for a boat that\u2019s been improperly stored or cared for. Even if a boat has been expertly cared for, wear and tear do take its toll on a boat, so there are often higher maintenance costs on an older vessel. Plus, new <a class=\"\" data-lasso-id=\"430\" href=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/can-you-put-a-trolling-motor-on-a-pontoon-boat\/\">pontoon boats<\/a> usually come with a warranty against repairs in the first year or so of ownership, but you likely won\u2019t be able to benefit from this warranty if you\u2019re not the first owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you buy a new pontoon boat, you can fully customize it to fit your needs. While you can likely find a used boat that has most of what you want and add on some other accessories, there\u2019s nothing better than knowing that your stylish, new <a href=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/how-much-do-pontoon-boats-weigh\/\" data-lasso-id=\"431\">pontoon boat was made specifically to maximize your enjoyment out on the water<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, for some of us, buying a new pontoon boat isn\u2019t reasonable financially. Luckily, there are a lot of fantastic advantages to buying a used pontoon boat, which is great news for those of us who love being out on the water. First and foremost, the lower price of a used pontoon boat means you can potentially get a nicer model with more accessories for the same price as a less swanky new boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used pontoon boats also have the added benefit of being time-tested against the elements. So long as they\u2019ve been properly cared for and maintained throughout their years of service, a used pontoon boat has proven itself to be a worthy vessel, which is a for boosting your confidence in a large investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Average Cost of a Used Pontoon Boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Used pontoon boats, much like new pontoon boats, vary widely in cost. An older, no-frills boat that can accommodate only a handful of passengers can be purchased for as low as $10,000- 15,000 if you find the right seller. You could certainly find a boat under that price range, but it\u2019d likely need a significant amount of work and money to get it into shape for the water, so you might be better off investing a bit more at the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Pontoon Boats Hold Their Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason you can find a used pontoon boat at a considerably lower price than you could find a used model for is that, like cars, pontoon boats depreciate in value. While a used higher-end pontoon boat will almost always be worth more than a lesser quality boat of the same age and degree of wear and tear, all pontoon boats will decrease in value from about 25-35% after the first year or so of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the reasons why it&#8217;s worth considering a used version of a past season&#8217;s model as an economical alternative to a new boat. With a one or two-year-old used pontoon boat, you can experience significant costs savings while still getting a high-quality, minimally-used boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost to Maintain a Pontoon Boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the longest-running jokes in the maritime industry is that \u201cBOAT\u201d stands for \u201cbill out another thousand.\u201d We\u2019re here to tell you that this is not a joke. Although you might think that the purchasing of a boat will be the only real financial investment you\u2019ll have, experienced mariners will tell you that you\u2019d better set aside some funds for when things go awry or even just for regular maintenance fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the purchase price of your boat, you&#8217;ll probably have to pay state sales tax (which can be upwards of 6-10% of the total cost) and fees for registering your boat with the Coast Guard or other authorities. You&#8217;ll also want to get yourself some insurance to protect your investment and yourself, in the event of an unfortunate incident. Insurance varies with a number of factors but is usually somewhere in the $20-$50\/month range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you own your boat and it\u2019s all licensed, registered, and insured, you\u2019ll still have plenty of expenses to cover over the lifetime of your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are some one-time fees to cover the costs of things you\u2019ll need just to get started:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Boat trailer: $2,000 &#8211; $5,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Essential safety equipment: $1,000 &#8211; $1,500<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training courses (for those new to boating): $250-$300<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few other annual fees you might expect:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Mooring fees: $3,000 &#8211; $15,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fuel: $2.50+ per gallon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repairs\/Maintenance: $1000+<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning fees: $450<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Brands of Pontoon Boats are The Best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is, of course, a matter of serious contention, as everyone has a different opinion on the matter. Thus, instead of giving you a black and white answer about what pontoon brand is the best, we&#8217;ll give you a list of some of the top manufacturers out there. These brands include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Bennington<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manitou<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bentley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweetwater<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avalon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suncatcher\/G3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sun Tracker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tahoe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lowe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lund<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I Buy a Tritoon Instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Effectively, a tritoon is a triple-hull pontoon. Since pontoon boats normally have just two aluminum tubes in their hull, while tritoons have three, tritoons have a number of significant advantages, when compared to a pontoon. This makes them an attractive option to consider when shopping around for a new boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third aluminum tube of a tritoon sits between the two tubes of a pontoon. This helps distribute the weight of the boat more evenly across the water, which adds stability and structure to the vessel. Thus, tritoons can manage more horsepower than your standard pontoon and are also better constructed for rougher seas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it might seem like a no-brainer to go out and buy a tritoon instead of a pontoon, it\u2019s important to remember that this extra tube and stability comes at an extra cost. Thus, before you set your sights on a tritoon, you should first identify whether or not it\u2019d actually be worth the extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all you want is to have a nice lunch or afternoon of fishing out on your boat in calm water, then you will probably do just fine with a pontoon, saving yourself some serious cash money along the way. On the other hand, if you want to go water skiing or just cruise along at your maximum speed, then a tritoon will better serve you in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Tritoon vs Pontoon Boats\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_zK013fPRbbs\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzK013fPRbbs%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zK013fPRbbs\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M40S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-03-09T18:23:19Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_zK013fPRbbs\" data-src=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzK013fPRbbs%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Tritoon vs Pontoon Boats<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zK013fPRbbs\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FzK013fPRbbs%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Tritoon vs Pontoon Boats\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"What&#039;s the difference between a pontoon and a tritoon boat? Visit our website to learn more: https:\/\/utm.guru\/harrispontoons There are a number of factors to consider when determining whether a two-tube (pontoon) or three-tube (tritoon) boat is right for you. In a nutshell, it simply boils down to whether you are exclusively seeking pleasure cruises on calm waters or instead have plans for towing. Tritoon boats have three tubes underneath the deck, offering better balance and weight distribution. This allows for more powerful engines while maintaining a stable ride. Those who crave water skiing, or simply want more control in choppy waters, will tend to favor a three-tube option. If leisurely voyages on calm waters are all you are interested in, a pontoon boat will absolutely suit your needs and save you money. Harris Boats offers two-tube and three-tube options on most models in its pontoon series. Certain models, like the Crowne series, are only available in three tube configurations. Tritoons offer optimal balance and weight distribution and typically have high-horsepower engines. The improved buoyancy and weight distribution allow for better handling at higher speeds, and the large deck size allows more room to be merrier, with space for up to 10 people or more. Also, the added engine power allows three-tube pontoons to be equipped with ski tow bars at the back of the boat for thrills and spills. Tritoon boats also maneuver better through choppy waters, with the stability to provide you with a drier ride. Because three-tube Harris Boats are designed with the center tube lower in the water they will bank into turns more, like a deck boat or fiberglass boat. So, in summary, three-tube pontoons allow for a wider range of activities, a more stable ride and a little more speed than a traditional two-tube pontoon. If that\u2019s important you, the extra money is likely justified. If not, a two-tube pontoon will provide all you need. 00:05 whats the difference between a pontoon and tritoon 00:10 that third center tube 00:20 higher horsepower engines 00:40 we have patents on our construction 01:00 gives the boat more rigidity 01:12 segment chambers 01:20 backed by limited lifetime structural warranty #boating #pontoon #pontoonboat #lakelife #boats #mercurymarine\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zK013fPRbbs\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does a Tritoon Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The average price for a tritoon with the models I compared above is $60,347.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The range of prices for a tritoon goes from around $45,000 to over $100,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tritoons have a smoother ride, and they are usually associated with bigger pontoon boats and more powerful engines.
