No. Generally speaking, used cars are actually less expensive to insure than new cars. This varies greatly depending on model however.
What is a pontoon boat?
A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on pontoons to float. Pontoons may be used on boats, rafts, barges, docks, float planes or seaplanes. Pontoons may support a platform, creating a raft. A raft supporting a house-like structure is a houseboat. A fixed platform can be used as a dock. Common boat designs are a catamaran with two pontoons, or a trimaran with three. Pontoons may be simply constructed from sealed cylinders such as pipes or barrels, or fabricated as boxes from metal or concrete. Pontoon boat drafts may be as shallow as eight inches, which reduces risk of running aground and underwater damage. The pontoon effect is when a large force applied to the side capsizes a pontoon boat without much warning, particularly a top-heavy boat. Pontoon boats for pleasure boating and fishing can be low cost for their capacity, and cheaper to insure than other boats, even when equipped with substantial engines.

How do you calculate the displacement of a pontoon as found on a pontoon boat?
We assume W is the weight of the boat and w < W is the weight of the pontoon. So the total boat/pontoon weight that must be buoyed in order to float is W + w. To float, the boat and pontoon must displace W + w weight of water. The density of water is about rho = 1000 kg/m^3; so the boat has to displace W = rho V g or V = W/(rho g) and the pontoon v = w/(rho g) m^3 of water. g = 9.81 m/sec^2 is the average acceleration of gravity EX: If w = 100000 N, the pontoon must displace about v = w/(rho g) = 100000/(1000*10) = 10 m^3 of water to buoy that pontoon. (I used g ~ 10 m/sec^2 for ease in calculation)
