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 13):
A pontoon boat comprising:\n a first pontoon comprising a sealed and hollow tube which is positioned lengthwise along a port side of a pontoon boat; a second pontoon comprising a sealed and hollow tube which is positioned lengthwise along a starboard side of the pontoon boat parallel to the first pontoon; a planar main deck attached to a top of the first pontoon and a top of the second pontoon, the main deck comprising a rear edge which is positioned adjacent a rear end of the first pontoon and a rear end of the second pontoon and comprising a front edge which is positioned adjacent a front end of the first pontoon and a front end 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 to a position above 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 top of the first pontoon which is equal to or greater than one third of a vertical height of the first pontoon.
