When it comes to pontoon boats, bigger isn’t always better.

Over the last few years, the way people use pontoon boats has changed dramatically.  The age of the older, large, clunky, pontoon boat has long gone. Boaters of all ages around the world are using pontoon boats to fish, ski, tube, cruise and more.

Although you can buy a luxury, triple-tubed, pontoon that will do pretty much anything you want, the price tag on some of these luxury models can limit access to those looking to start their pontoon adventures.

Although a larger, high-horsepower pontoon, like the V-Series, is pure luxury on the water, here are 5 reasons why smaller pontoon boats are the hottest trend and provide a great way to get on the water to spend quality time with your family and friends:

1. Lighter

With some smaller pontoons weighing less than 1900 pounds, they’re actually very easy to manoeuvre on the water and handle when docking.

2. Easier to Tow

Most people don’t realize that pontoon boats are actually much easier to tow than they think, especially smaller pontoon boats.  Most small SUVs have more than enough towing capacity to get your smaller pontoon boat to the water for launch.

3. More Efficient

Smaller pontoon boats require less horsepower and as result less fuel to operate which means you’ll spend more time enjoying family time, catching fish, swimming or taking an evening cruise and a lot less time at the fuel pump reaching for your wallet.

4. More Affordable

While Legend Boats smaller pontoons don’t compromise on build quality and comfort the smaller form factor makes getting on the water more affordable.

5. Simpler Maintenance

A smaller, simpler boat means less to maintain and less that can go wrong.  Smaller consoles, less furniture, and less fencing means more time to spend enjoying your new pontoon boat lifestyle.

So if you just want an easy, affordable, low-maintenance way to get on the water to spend time with your family and friends, a small pontoon boat may just be the right choice for you.
