It depends on the mass of the boat. The mass of water displaced by the boat will equal the mass of the boat.
Well, yes that is true, but it doesn't really answer the question so much as explains why the answer for most pontoon boats is "No- it won't". Consider the general rule for boating:
10 feet water, watch out for rocks.
8 feet of water, don't go more than 5 miles per hour.
6 feet of water, idle motor.
4 feet of water is only safe for docking .
2 feet of water, you'll be beached.
0 feet of water, well, that's obvious.

Does gravity allow a boat to float on water?
Without gravity, a boat wouldn't be able to float on water, so yes, gravity allows a boat to float (as well as sink into) water. A boat floats from buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is from the volume of water it displaces with it's shape below the water. The buoyancy force is equal to the volume of water it displaces multiplied by 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot (the density of water). So if the boat displaces 20 cubic feet of water with it's hull or shape it can hold 20 x 62.4 = 1248 lbs. of self weight plus cargo. Obviously there should be a factor of safety on that. In summary, a boat needs two things to float on water: Gravity and buoyancy force. Gravity keeps the boat on the water in the first place, but the buoyancy force is the actual thing that keeps the boat afloat. Technically, it is the buoyancy force that allows a boat to float, but if you want to get really technical, it is gravity in the first place that allows a boat to float on water.

How shallow of water can a ranger boat go into?
This all depends on what type boat your are talking about. There are two factors that cause a boat to float shallow: the beam width and how light it is. The wider the beam the more efficient it is on spreading out the weight of the boat which makes it float shallower. With a 96in. on a 20ft. boat you should be able to float shallower than a foot probably around 7in, depending on how much gas is in the boat.
