Bow On A Pontoon, With 2 People?

[Guest Jeremie]

Hey guys, i have a little question that i need answered! Me and my dad might head down to the bow this weekend and are looking to float it, we have 1 pontoon boat and 1 inner tube but i know that, that wont work. Would it be safe for me to sit on the back platform while he keeps the boat straight? Or would it make more sense to borrow a buddies pontoon to keep things safer?

 

Any info is appreciated!

 

thanks

Yikes!! I would think that at least one of you is going for a swim or will be hooked up!! Might make for interesting casting, as well!!

MY DAD AND I, both know that really only the person sitting on the back will be able to fish because it will just get too crowded if we both fish, so we will float and pull out at different runs throughout the float! OH and i will wear my bathing suit

There are weight limits on pontoons, so you should probably check those ratings first. It might be better to rent a larger raft to float down with, than risk permanently bending your frame.

[Guest Jeremie]

Makes sense, how much does it cost to rent a raft? and where?

Very much appreciated Fellas! Might see you out on the water in the next week or two!

I've done it. with me :195lbs and a buddy: 180lbs on my 10 foot pontoon. It's hard to fish while moving but pulling over at all the sweet holes is possible.

You are absolutley crazy to try this. The possibility of catastrophe is very high. Rent a boat suitable for two people on the bow river. My two cents
