Question 1

What materials are used in Laker Pontoons?

Accepted Answer

Laker Pontoons are built entirely from high-quality aluminum. They incorporate spray-on, non-skid decking—similar to truck bed liner—for added durability and safety. The pontoons themselves are sealed and pressure tested to ensure optimal buoyancy and long-term reliability.

Question 2

Are Laker Pontoons easy to transport?

Accepted Answer

Yes, their compact, lightweight design makes them easier to trailer and launch compared to traditional, heavier pontoon boats. The all-aluminum construction enhances portability while maintaining the durability needed for long-lasting performance on the water. Plus, they can be easily pulled with a standard 2-inch ball, making towing convenient and hassle-free.

Question 4

Will the deck on my Laker Pontoon rot over time?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Can I use an electric trolling motor instead of gas?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

How does delivery work if I buy a boat?

Accepted Answer

Since we sell factory-direct, your custom-built boat will be delivered to you directly. If you purchase a trailer with your boat, it will arrive fully assembled on the trailer, pulled by a truck. We also offer "yard drop-off" and "pond drop-off" options if you do not purchase a trailer, but you will need able-bodied helpers on-site to assist with unloading.

Question 7

does the deck have any wood that will rot over time?

Accepted Answer

absolutely not. like all laker pontoons, the 714 features 100% all-aluminum construction, including a highly durable c-channel aluminum deck. there is zero wood used anywhere on the boat. the deck is coated with a tough, spray-on non-skid truck bed liner material so you never have to worry about replacing rotten floorboards.
