Colorado 9: A Great Trout Unlimited Pontoon Boat
A pontoon boat is a flat bottomed boat. It either refers to the floats that comprise the main part of the boat or the boat itself. In case of the former, the floats support a structure on the water. This structure might be as simple as a flat deck. It might also be as complicated as a house-like or cabin-like structure.
Pontoon boats are usually designed for leisure activities. One such activity is fishing. Since there are those who want to fish alone, many manufacturers create small pontoon boats. One such manufacturer is Trout Unlimited.
