Fishermen have noticed how many pontoons are out on the water in recent years, often with larger groups or families aboard.
Thoughts of getting one may be thwarted by the large console taking up one side of the pontoon, the large benches for seating getting in the way, or fish slime and bait soaking into the carpeting.
An Angler Qwest pontoon removes all of those concerns. Built by fishermen for fishermen, the several models feature a fiberglass center console with a custom gauge panel for electronics.
The layout can be adjusted to fit any angler’s needs, whether solely for fishing or a combination of fish, leisure activity or sport.
A configuration with four deluxe captain seats in front and back, a rear fishing station with an 18-gallon livewell, measuring board and storage tube, rodholders galore, (including on the bimini top) and vinyl flooring throughout are available.
Fishing options include an additional livewell at the front, and exterior hooks for drift socks.
The pontoons are available from lengths of 18-20 feet and include species-specific and guide models with extra seating.
