Abstract:
A pontoon boat includes first and second pontoons on the port and starboard sides of the boat and a main deck attached to the top of the pontoons. A front wave deflector extends forwards and upwards from the front of the main deck at an angle. The front wave deflector is held above the water and does not contact the water while the pontoon boat is floating in or moving through calm water. The front wave deflector contacts the tops of waves when the pontoon boat is navigating rough water and pushes the water beneath the pontoon boat deck. This allows the pontoon boat to navigate rough water without loss of momentum and without excessive up and down pitching.

Claim (Index 1):
A pontoon boat comprising:\n a first pontoon, the first pontoon comprising a sealed and hollow tube having a length which is at least five times a diameter of the pontoon tube, wherein the pontoon tube is positioned with the length aligned with a length of a pontoon boat; a second pontoon, the second pontoon comprising a sealed and hollow tube having a length which is at least five times a diameter of the pontoon tube, wherein the pontoon tube is positioned with the length aligned with a length of the pontoon boat; wherein the first pontoon and the second pontoon are positioned parallel to each other along left and right sides of the pontoon boat; a planar main deck comprising a front edge and a rear edge, wherein the rear edge is aligned with a rear end of the first pontoon and a rear end of the second pontoon; wherein the main deck is positioned adjacent a top of the first pontoon and adjacent a top of the second pontoon and wherein the main deck is attached to the top of the first pontoon and the top of the second pontoon; a front wave deflector which is attached to the front edge of the main deck and which extends forwards and upwards from the front edge of the main deck; wherein the front wave deflector extends laterally between the first pontoon and the second pontoon; and wherein the front wave deflector has a vertical height above the first pontoon which is approximately equal to a vertical height of the first pontoon.
