Pontoon Boats

What could be simpler than a big floating platform to build a boat upon? All that floor space gives pontoon boats oodles of room to stretch out, soak up the sun (or stay in the shade), and enjoy the lake — like a comfy living room on the water. Building atop two separate pontoons (or sometimes three, on a “tri-toon”) provides pontoon boats with huge capacity and incredible stability, too. That makes them ideal for all sorts of boating, whether that’s enjoying a quiet corner of the lake with just your closest companion, loading up the entire extended family for an outing, or inviting a dozen friends to the lake party spot.

Those same attributes make pontoon boats ideal for electric propulsion. After all, who wants gas engine fumes rolling through their waterborne living room? Those two long, narrow hulls make pontoon boats easy to push, extending battery range. Quiet, smooth operation facilitates conversation underway and enhances communication while docking. Electric propulsion also eliminates pollution and safety concerns, as well as the smell and mess, from having gasoline aboard. Elco’s brushless PMAC motors and direct drive propulsion system maximize efficiency and minimize maintenance.
