How to Choose the Right Harris® Pontoon for Your Family
Is there any better way to enjoy a peaceful afternoon on the water than on a Harris pontoon? This one investment can lead to years of memories and family fun, from kicking back and relaxing on the lake to embarking on fishing trips and pulling the kids on an inner tube. We've rounded up some things to consider as you shop for a Harris boat below. When you are ready to look at models, feel free to stop by our dealership.
Consider Your Boat's Purpose
Start by considering how you hope to use your Harris pontoon. You can expect proven performance and handling, the latest technology, and top-notch comfort from these vessels. Harris pontoons deliver the amenities and versatility you need to have the boating excursion of a lifetime every time. They are even well-suited for hosting dinner parties on the water! Look at models that offer the amenities you need to entertain your friends and family.
Maybe you are hoping to spend your hours relaxing on the waters as you cast a line out and hope for a bite. You'll want to look at pontoons that offer all the features anglers need. These include livewells to keep your catches alive and fresh until you are ready to leave and rod holders so you can give your arms a break without needing to pull your line in.
You can also get layouts that come with extra-deep seat bases and wide, tapered lounges. Let’s not forget about the fold-down armrests and cup holders throughout these crafts.
Your Budget
Harris pontoons come in a wide range of price points. Before you start looking, you'll want to establish how much you have to spend. That way, you avoid falling in love with a model that is outside your price range. Plus, it helps to narrow your search to a more manageable level. When you build your budget, take into account other costs of boat ownership such as buying life jackets, boat rental, fuel, and so on.
Accessories
These boats can be outfitted with a wide range of upgrades and accessories to make your time on the water better. Add an audio system so you can play your favorite music as you jet across the lake. Get a boat cover to protect your investment from the elements, such as sunlight that can cause paint fading or rain that can lead to mildew. Showcase your personality with flags or other aesthetic accessories. There are many ways to personalize your craft.
