Best Pontoon Brands

#1 Post by SpeedBoater99 » Sun Mar 23, 2025 12:38 pm

I'm shopping for a higher end tritoon and looking to get feedback on Berkshire. I like that Berkshire builds a boat without a wood floor, it just makes no sense to me why you would use plywood for a boat floor that gets wet all the time. The local dealer has an STS model with a 300hp engine. The STS is around $100k and looks to be pretty comparable to the other brands I'm seeing in that price range.

Any opinions on these? https://www.midsouthmarine.com/--invent ... toons&pg=1

You get what you pay for. If you want no wood, you're gonna pay for it.
But, there are toons out there with wood decks that are 20, 30 or more years old.
Marine grade plywood is NOT cheap.
I am the guy at the boat ramp that gives you dirty looks when you are a complete idiot and too stupid to know it.
