Always check for the pee stream coming out of the motor before leaving the dock. This will tell you your motor is not trimmed down enough or that the water pump is bad. A bad water pump will lead to a bad and expensive day. For any boat, one of the best pieces of advice is not to approach the dock any faster than you want to hit it. If your approach is bad, back of and try it again.

I use my pontoon boat on Lake Roosevelt, big body of water. It works great for the family pulling tubes and fishing. I really found a great product to help me steer the big boat. Uncle Norms Marine products Orca fin mounted to my 150hp Yamaha. It sure helps in the wind and helps to plane the boat, I would recommend this fin to anyone with a pontoon boat.

Damn that dude has awesome hair!

[@HamRadioConcepts]

never once told me how to drive a pontoon boat..only how to backup, and where to look when backing up.. poor.

[@brianwilgus528]

I agree, he told me next to nothing.

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

Ever notice how all these "how to" videos are NEVER in rough water, windy conditions, or at some miserable shallow ramp with no dock, that is narrow and short and ROUGH

[@kevinalvarado761]

I’m interested in buying a pontoon boat and renting it out. I also have jet skis. I’ll love to see if any advice y’all can give me?

[@NickGallardo520]

@DestinBoatRentals all right thanks you for your help

[@richardhowe2370]

Where is the part where you disconnect dock lines and make sure you have enough fuel?

[@carolchildress9185]

Good question, I want answers

[@jasoncain22]

good stuff....thanks for the post.

[@NickGallardo520]

@DestinBoatRentals all right thanks, because my dad and i are planing to buy a pontoon boat, and we will be only on the ocean, so like my main question was, are they durable in waves higher than 4 feet?

[@skyeric875]

Do not use a pontoon in the ocean, the hull is made to only take chop less than 4-3ft. Not recommended, how i know is that I rent out pontoons and people think they can take these things in the ocean. Then they come back completely we wondering why there wet. Think of a Deep V-hull boat with high gunnels and auto bidge. I'd say a motor more than 150 is good for ocean fishing. Just stay safe on the water, happy fishing!

[@rigoalvarado2261]

if i rent a pontoon do you have some person who speak spanish for the instrucions...

[@CranialCollabs]

I'm sorry man, this is very lacking of a how to video....

[@NickGallardo520]

so are pontoon boats good, for the ocean, because many people say that they are mainly for lakes

[@ChallengeKing]

It’s gonna rock too much in ocean

[@Getsen42]

Dude, you better hope that the rest of the way out the water looks like glass as it does there, because if you hit any chop at all you're going to lose the fishing rod not secured behind you ;-).

[@bryandavison2180]

Its destin...you go in the bay...not open gulf of mexico

[@matthewfarquhar4260]

2:37 left hand side there is a shadow of a shark :-)

[@itscloudyagain]

nice the water is sooo beautiful i wanna get a small boat for me

[@OLCtv]

I'm getting one by 46 years old

[@KsAdventures]

@NickGallardo520 the first 2 1/2 years of my 24 years of CG experience was spent at a SAR station. Do not buy a pontoon boat for the ocean. Boats with keels should be used on the ocean. It's just a disaster waiting to happen otherwise.

[@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx]

Though I have never piloted a pontoon before,...I STILL wouldn't take it out on the ocean,....they're not made for that! I wouldn't even take one out on the Great Lakes,either! I have read what can happen if weather gets rough!

[@jponyboyace]

That’s all??

[@obijuankenobi6565]

Do you know Carol Baskin ?

[@TheKunfused1]

for you

[@HnEhonda]

[@dougrogillio2223]

Very poor.

[@ruga2x757]

God now I know how my grandmother drives

[@seanwalker5157]

FYI one pilots a boat, boats are not cars...

[@Destinvacationboatrentals]

You are correct, *****! We used "drive" because that is the term most new boaters search for when looking for information about how to pilot a boat. Thanks for the comment!

[@seanwalker5157]

They are stupid so you reinforce their stupidity instead of teaching them properly, oh well you cant be held to coast guard standards with that logic...

[@Destinvacationboatrentals]

There are many very intelligent people who know nothing about boats. Just as there are intelligent people who know about boats and not about other things. Grammar, for example. ;)

[@yokid414]

i rather take my searay 540 anyday i just sold my 280
