Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Take a look the power boat is parked on top of the pontoon boat.

This happened recently on the chain of lake in Northern Illinois.

The powerboater was traveling up river at night. The pontoon boat somehow was floating down river without any passengers, and no lights.

The poor guy in the power boat, struck the pontoon. He was lucky not to get hurt.

A bad day for both boat owners... Another reason for insurance.

"the pontoon boat was floating downriver without any passengers" ???

Sound like an invitation to disaster...

That's taking boat lifts to a new dimension. Some boaters will do anything to get their boat
out of the water when they are through. I hope they recovered the beer off of the 'toon!

Drunk tooner might have fallen off, leaving the boat un manned, floating down river.
