I am not sure how you Pontoon is set up, I have a 2002 Crest. It uses a aluminum transom, that also holds a 24 gal fuel tank. You might want to contact your local Crest dealer or Crest directly to see if your could be modified to take the aluminum transon.

Perform a search at this page header on "Transom replacement" Most people are recommending White Oak, but that search will give a lot of information on this repair....Kev_alask***
