The Right Enclosure & Cover- for your Pontoon Boat -Ultimate Boat Covers

10/19/2018

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

Sun Tracker Pontoon Boats are available in 80 plus Bass Pro Shops locations, as well as independent dealerships. The biggest name in the Pontoon Boat industry belongs to Sun Tracker according to our research. Selecting a model to review was easy, We chose the Party Barge 18 DLX This model is most likely the biggest seller in it’s category. Just the perfect size for a family of 4 to 6 people, not too big and not too small. It has all of the amenities you would expect to find. Including full size lounges in the front, as well as a rear deck for swimming or tubing. However, we found the BEST part about the Party Barge 18 DLX was the price point. Here is a high quality, well built boat for under $20K add in a great dealer support network and you have the perfect entry level model at an affordable price.
Stepping it up a notch (or two) we also liked the Party Barge 24 XP3 as the premium model. This boat is loaded with comfort, mega storage and an exceptionally smooth ride with the triple toon design. This model is rated for up to 250hp and room for 12 people. Sun Tracker Pontoon Boat Owners know all about #LivingTheToonLife
