#LivingTheToonLife with Silver Wave Pontoons

We Put Family's On The Water! The way we do that is, we build boats - We are a 3rd generation boat builder, our parents started in 1992. They are located in Seminole Oklahoma, manufacturing some of the finest boats on the water today. Steven Parks President & CEO of Blue-Wave Boats explains in this video a little about the company, and how they are working to meet the demand of their consumers. ​ Blue Wave manufactures some of the finest Bay Boats for fishing, that can run up to 60mph in only 10" of water - The engineering & design of the Blue Wave fills the niche for being the perfect shallow water Bay Boat.  However, the Silver Wave Pontoon Boat, is growing in both, popularity and demand. The Pontoon Boat industry is the fastest growing segment of recreational boating. Many boat dealerships are taking on the sales of Pontoon Boats due to the obvious influx of consumer interest.  ​ ​We were wrong, say's Steven Parks when referring to the shift from the older, slow Pontoon Boat that he grew up with. They have become the most evolving product line out there! We agree 100% as this trend is only getting better as more & more people are being exposed to the Pontoon Boat Lifestyle.

The Largest Online Database Of Pontoon Boat Dealers In The US

How do you see your  business online? This is one of our favorite questions we ask potential clients prior to offering our web services. Well, the answers are fairly consistent, as they either understand the importance of a healthy web presence - or they don't. Many business owners believe having a nice looking website is the most important factor. Followed by a good social media presence, to network with consumers interested in everything Pontoon Boat related. We concur that both are good strategies, both will meet a satisfactory marketing agenda. However, do they provide results, that meet, or exceed your ROI ? Are they really getting found on the web? Are they being searched in a manner that drives them to your showroom?  Many marine dealerships spend thousands of dollars per year on ad space trying to capture a front row seat to internet search ability. In most cases it is a large portion of their annual marketing budgets that support this segment. One of the most popular are paid click type ad's where you are charged based on the number of times your site is clicked upon. The effectiveness of this is questionable at best - unless you are doing high volume sales. We have a very successful web based strategy, that allows for a more sustainable presence - that produces results!

Are You Found On Page One?  In today's tech friendly world, consumers have already searched for your business online, they are fully aware of your services before ever stepping foot in your dealership. Google has the highest amount of traffic of all search engines combined. Thus increasing the importance of where you are found, in a typical google search for your business. Our research has determined that "brand specific" searches are popular terms for Pontoon Boats, similar to searching for Ford or Chevrolet. Again, they already know what brand you offer. Your localized SEO (search engine optimization) increases with our web services & listing pages (FACT) They are loaded with relevant content, directly related to Pontoon Boats. We have a very healthy social media platform to share industry related content, as well as a private group for networking directly with consumers.

​Being a large employer, located in a small town is one of Avalon - Tahoe's strengths.

Congratulations toAvalon - Tahoe Pontoon Boats of Alma, Michigan for being selected as the 2018 Living The Toon Life - Pontoon Boat Manufacturer of the Year!  We have spent thousands of hours researching the many different Pontoon Boat manufacturers throughout the US.

Always Do The Right Thing! The mission at Avalon - Tahoe ​is; To Always Do The Right Thing! The customers and our employees come first, said Jim Wolf. They invest in their employees, providing a good, fun work environment where company culture is truly important. The Art Of The Pontoon - a moniker that fit's well with this company, and the amazing boats they design and build. ​We believe Avalon - Tahoe lives up to their mission based off their actions throughout this industry.

In 2018 there were major acquisitions, of some  top brands of Pontoon Boats, some with decades of manufacturing. This is a really good sign of a strong industry. Consumer demand is  at an all time high. Companies like Avalon - Tahoe are experiencing this growth rate, and reacting in smart, more efficient, ways to improve their performance. We believe that Pontoon Boats - really are the fastest growing segment in recreational boating. The number one thing we hear on a regular basis, when talking with Pontoon Boat owners is, Why Did We Not Do This Sooner ?  Find A Dealer Near You

Client Appreciation Regatta ​This was well noted at this past summers event in beautiful Lake Havasu City, AZ on the Colorado river, with our friends from Got Water Marine, during their 2nd annual customer appreciation & Avalon Regatta. We previously featured Vaughn Hoskins & Team  in article about Got Water Marine. We received lots of feedback from that piece, of others wanting to hold a "Pontoon Regatta" in 2019 in their area. Not only did the Dealer & Manufacturer have a successful event, they helped start a trend (stay tooned) ​

Having fun, relaxing, entertaining, lots of space, & satisfaction for the whole family. All that, along with the awesome inspiration, from designers like Rachel Parteko go into the making of a Harris Pontoon Boat. One of the top brands of luxury Pontoon Boats on the water today. Harris provides value throughout every model, Teammates like Rachel are where it all starts. Many people don't realize just how much thought goes into the conceptual aspect of design creation. Especially when your building someone's future living room on the water, there's no room for error.  ​ It's a Family thing, Rachel and her team understand the precious cargo that will be using this boat. Taking all precautions to make sure that Comfort, Fun & Safety are all highly considered. She knows how important it is to give the consumer exactly what they want in their boat. Like Rick Fikes, owner of a 2013 Harris Solstice 220. 22' with 115HP Mercury: Big, stable, fast, versatile...cruises through rough water, easy to anchor and fish, great to entertain while watching the fireworks from the river.....even easy to tow a tube! #LivingTheToonLife  ​ This video is a behind the scenes look at what goes into the design  of a Harris Pontoon Boat. Including the use of 3D conceptual tools to bring out all of the best options, prior to manufacturing. Having the 3D technology also helps streamline the process, as well.

Getting out of the element is always important while out on the Pontoon Boat. Either the desire for some shade to reflect that hot sun, or the next rain shower that rolls thru, to the cold windy ride back to the dock ? The solution: Get Enclosed! Check out some of these enclosures, from our friend Rick Olster of North American Waterway - Ultimate Boat Covers. Not all Pontoon Boats are the same, and when it comes to protecting your investment, having the right cover, is very important. We have done our research on boat covers, one thing is for sure though, a cheap cover is exactly that.  The biggest challenge with any boat cover is standing water. This happens when they do not fit properly, or lack the support to maintain runoff. Thus causing mold & mildew, as well as deterioration of the fabric. On a Pontoon Boat, there are many places that water can collect and become stagnate. It's not always fun trying to deal with a boat cover that is strapped to the sides, while a couple hundred gallons are pushing down on the helm. Not Good! ​ The solution is getting the Right Cover, and having the Right Support system. A good cover will also allow for ventilation under the cover to reduce the build up of mold or mildew. Rick uses a dual purpose support pole that is very effective for keeping the water out, while letting the air travel under as well.  ​ At Ultimate Boat Covers, they can produce exactly what you need, or replace your existing cover systems. Rick has over 40 years of experience in the boat canvas business, a 5th  generation canvas maker.  With 7500 custom canvas patterns available, Rick makes it easy for you to go to there website, fill out a form with your boats information and get a quote for a new system. Click here to see the types of covers and enclosures they offer for Pontoon Boats. They are located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada and they ship anywhere in the world as well. From full enclosures with clear sides that can be rolled up like on this beautiful South Bay or the split design with the half enclosure on the SunTracker, will help keep you out on the water much longer enjoying family & friends #LivingTheToonLife

Have you ever wanted to replace that old carpet on your Pontoon Boat ? Do you like the look of the new style woven vinyl flooring found on almost all high end Pontoon Boats ? Most importantly you want to know what it takes to replace the flooring in your boat? Well, look no further than right here on this episode of Ship Shape TV with our friends from Infinity Woven Products, LLC.  They are the manufacturer of the Luxury Woven Vinyl flooring. In this episode John Greviskis (Founder of Ship Shape TV) takes on the very task of removing and replacing the old carpet flooring on his Crest pontoon Boat. Along with John, is Warren McCrickard (VP of Sales & Marketing) of Infinity Luxury Woven Vinyl. ​ ​Upon removing all of the fencing, seats, and helm station. It's time to start with the tearing off of the old carpet. This is the part most of us are really dreading. Large scraper(s) will be required, as well as a second person to help pull while you scrape.  Warren gave the guys a very creative tip on how to remove the bulk amount of carpet, by using the truck and a rope to pull it away. It Worked Great!  ​ So many Pontoon Boat owners today want to upgrade to the more modern flooring. Infinity Luxury Woven Vinyl is just what you want, and need to re-cover your "Living Room on the Water"  decking.   The Infinity LWV is made of Polyester Core Yarn, that's wrapped in a PVC sheath. Giving protection from mold or mildew, as well as stain resistant, and uv fade protection.

There are many different styles, & textures to choose from on the Infinity collection page This is not like any other outdoor flooring! It's very durable, and comfortable to walk on. The two most important factors when choosing a quality flooring.​For those who may want to tackle this project on their own, Infinity offers a "Mat Kit Template", for a pre-cut selection that works well for many applications.  If you would like to have it professionally installed ? check the Find a Dealer Page for the nearest location to serve you best.  Infinity Luxury Woven Vinyl, is one of the most unique and  sustainable products available in the marine industry.Finally a solution to upgrading that ugly carpet! #LivingTheToonLife ​​

On Saturday September 29, 2018 Got Water Marine of Lake Havasu, Arizona held their second annual customer appreciation regatta. This event was co sponsored by Avalon & Tahoe Pontoon Boats, a well known brand of luxury Pontoon Boats. Vaughn Hoskins, owner of Got Water Marine has a recipe for success in AZ. It's called: Great Customer Relations! Exactly what this event was all about. This year's Avalon regatta  brought out MANY  Avalon owners to the lower section of the Colorado river, on Lake Havasu. Like, first year attendees, Donnie & Karen Rhodes, who pulled up onto the beach with their beautiful black & white Avalon.  Quote: We had been looking forward to this event since we took delivery of  our Avalon, said Donnie Rhodes.  We've had a nice time meeting and  chatting with people. We are in the process of moving from San Diego, CA to Lake Havasu, AZ so meeting new friends with the same passion, is always good. ​Donnie did his research, he knew what he wanted, Well kinda > That was  until he talked with other Avlon owners from San Diego to Yuma, all referring him to Vaughn at Got Water Marine, he has an outstanding reputation with his Avalon customers.            I started making a list of things I would need for the new boat, options & etc. Only to find out Vaughn has everything you need packaged into the deal. He has done the R&D for these units and knows exactly what his customers like and need.  ​We were welcomed into the Got Water Family even before we made the final purchase. We’ve made many new friends thru Got Water Marine. This is what it's really all about: Vaughn sells the lifestyle of Pontoon Boat ownership. His customers see the value in the relationships they have developed, both at the dealership and on the water with family & friends. Having a manufacturer like Avalon to support this strategy is a win for everyone. Jim Wolf CEO of Avalon Pontoons is doing a great job promoting their brand like no other.

Landau Pontoons are located in Lebanon, Missouri. They have been manufacturing Pontoon Boats for over four decades, well known in the recreational boating industry. We chose the 250 Atlantis Cruise model for our review on Landau Pontoon Boats. FUN! we could have just summed it up in one word, however, there's a lot more to this boat.
