When inspecting a pontoon boat, pay close attention to the hull for any signs of damage or wear. Also, check the condition of the pontoons themselves – look for any cracks, leaks or dents. The decking is another important area to inspect, as this is where you’ll be spending most of your time while on the boat. Look for any rotting boards or loose nails/screws. Finally, make sure to test all of the boat’s accessories and systems (e.g. lights, horn, bilge pump) to ensure they are in working order.
