Pontoon boats are in a class by themselves. They are not fast and sleek like power boats, but they have a style all their own. Two solid or inflatable pontoons sit on the water with a boat floor over the two. They are wider, which makes them more stable. They are less apt to capsize than other boats. When buying a pontoon boat, a customer can choose an open floor design and customize the craft later. A canopy top keeps the sun off the boaters. A place for everybody to sit is even better.
Buying pontoon boat seats is not difficult. They can be found at most boat supply stores, online and perhaps in the paper. Both solid and inflatable seats can be found. For those boats with sectional seats, buying different pieces allows the owner to customize the boat in any number of configurations. Prices vary with sizes, colors, materials, manufacturers, style of boat and so on. Corner sections, individual seats, double seats and reclining seats for short wall sections are available.
For used boats, buying used or new seats is an option. Fold-up seats allow greater movement around the boat deck. Look into solid seat models that have storage inside the seat base. This allows more gear, food and drinks on board. For versatility, a cooler seat with a flip-top offers a place for the drinks without taking up deck space. If the boat is in the shop and extra seating is needed on the patio, the seats can be removed from the deck and temporarily attached to a 2-by-4 and plywood base.
For inflatable pontoon boats, inflatable seats are available that secure to d-rings. These can also be used on solid pontoon boats for extra seating. Folding seats for inflatable boats can be used both on other boats and in stadiums for comfortable seating. Use them for camping as well. For camping, a tarp or base cloth should be used under the seat.
Most of the seats are made from marine vinyl, PVC, or other UV-protected materials. The seat will not be affected by water or the elements. A pontoon boat seat is a versatile piece of marine furniture.

A pontoon boat does not normally sink. The cause of a pontoon boat sinking is damaged tubes. If a pontoon would hit something very hard it could cause the tubes to be damaged and fill with water. This may cause the boat to sink.

Not normally. Unless it is a pontoon.
To properly beach a pontoon boat, approach the shore slowly and at a shallow angle. Turn off the engine and allow the boat to gently glide onto the beach. Use the anchor to secure the boat in place and ensure it is not too close to the shore to avoid damage. Be mindful of the water depth and any obstacles when beaching the pontoon boat.
