Am trying to make the decision between a new 20' pontoon boat that features an 8 foot wide deck with 23" tubes and one that is 8.5. foot wide with 25" tubes. I've been around boats enough to know that bigger is usually better, but has anyone decided on the smaller width? And how has it worked out?
I sat on the two size boats at a boat show recently and honestly felt comfortable in the narrower boat, and I also figure it will be a tad easier to dock in the tight slip I have (in addition to saving several grand), but I'd be curious to hear what others have decided/experienced. Any 8' wide fans out there?
