An Audio System

Imagine cruising around the bay to the sound of your perfectly curated playlist! An audio system allows you to enjoy your music while you explore the waters. There are traditional stereos that allow you to connect to them using a Bluetooth or auxiliary cord. Or you could get custom audio equipment outfitted into your boat itself. It depends on what your budget and audio needs are, but both will make it easier to get the party started.

A Boat Cover

You'll need some way to protect your pontoon boat from the elements. When it sits at your dock, it can slowly face damage. Sunlight fades the once vibrant colors. Rain pelting down sets the stage for mold and mildew growth. All you need is a boat cover to help keep these damaging forces at bay and keep your boat looking like new.

A Swim Platform

Part of the fun of owning boats in Missouri is how easily you can take your boat out, park it, and enjoy nature. You may enjoy sitting in solitude, but your kids will likely get antsy. That's where a swim platform enters the picture. The platform gets placed at water level, making it easy for kids to scurry out and go for a swim while you soak up some R and R. You can choose between permanently installed options or ones that are detachable.

A Fence Mount Grill

Your spacious pontoon is the perfect place to host a dinner party and a fence mount grill allows you to cook up a delicious feast. They get situated on the fencing around your boat. It's easy to install and remove them as you need. You'll be able to grill up the hot dogs and burgers for a lovely meal on the water.

Rod Holders

Fishing enthusiasts know how useful pontoon boats are for fishing. The wide and spacious layouts give you plenty of space to cast your line from, making it easy to find the ideal spot. You could spend all da fishing on your boat! But sometimes you want to keep your line in the water, but get your hands free. Maybe it's time for lunch. Maybe you need to assist your kids with their casting. Whatever the situation, a rod holder can help. These useful devices hold your rod steady so you can keep your line in the water if you wish. They are easy to install and make your life much easier.

Corner Bumpers

When you tie boats up to the docks, they can face damage. Waves come in and cause the boats to crash against the docks, which can result in painful damage. Corner bumpers are a cheap and easy to install solution that help guard your boat from dock damage.
