Anyone have information or experience with JC Boles pontoons. I have visited his website. I am looking for an electric pontoon for our lake.
Looking at their website, the JC Boles are a bit different from the typical pontoons most people think of. It seems to be a very small company ran by a retired aerospace teacher. It appears it started as a hobby and went from there. They are more like a kit boat than a standard toon. I see you can buy one in kit form for $1800 including the electric motor. That's not a bad price if you have some basic tools to put it together. You can buy one fully assembled, with electric motor and trailer for $3000 up to $6500, depending on size and features.
All in all, if it is something that interests you for smaller lakes, you are not going to find a boat from any of the well known bigger manufacturers for that kind of money. The guy builds them in southern Illinois, so it wouldn't be a terribly long drive for you to pick one up, versus the expensive shipping. Heck, drive down there and have a look at them in person before you commit.
