Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I have heard stories about co from the motor settling under the boat and people dying when swimming between the toons? Is this something to worry about or urban myth?

I keep trying to get my X-wife to go under there to see if it is true...put she keeps refusing.

Yes, as long as it's not running

Hmm...thought that's where you went to have some private time...

On my boat only keelhauling is allowed ...

Keelhauling?!?!
Had to go google that one...sicko!

(kidding):twisted:

Lol, keelhauling isnt gonna be to bad if you dont have a bunch of barnacles growning on your toon... Might be kinda fun??

Your not under the toon when the engine is running.

But that's the fun of having a two toon model, getting in the shade on a hot day is great, I hide away and let the kids go wild, need a hammock to hang underneath and nap

I agree with Pop24.. as long as the motor's not running

And no one starts pulling on wires and stuff

Oh hell yes. put your lifejacket on upside down like a diaper, and bob around in the shade with a nice cold beer. Now that’s my idea of swimmn!!!

that upside down jacket sounds good to me with a floating cooler full of brew. But seriously, I would only allow it with the motor raised so some dim wit didn't try and start it or remove the key and take it with you on a floating key fob.

Have new hammock ready to hang under boat. Had one on last toon ans wove swimming noodles around the edges and used a square floatation device for a pillow. Nothing better than tunes on stereo, cold beverage and a nap in July under the boat

This is where us non-tritooners rule!
Making usuable space underneath the boat..
One of the few benefits over a tritoon.

We've never had a problem with people going under the deck. We did have a rule when our kids were smaller - No diving under the pontoons themselves.

Why did you have that rule?
