I recently came into the ability to pick up a shore station boat lift for super cheap few hundred and am curious about the ability to use it for my pontoon boat.

Can you turn a pontoon into a tritoon. The center tube improves comfort and handling. You can do it but it is alot of work and pretty expensive I woudl expect to pay at least 800-1200 for a center tube there is alot to them. If your existing boat lift is already set up with bunks you can add another set so that each of your boats pontoons is supported by a pair of bunks.

A tritoon is a triple-hull pontoon boat. By turning your pontoon boat into a pontoon houseboat you will definitely get more. The center tube improves comfort and handling and when the boat enters a turn it may stay flat or lean into the turn.

I used 14 ply for the rood and sides and 34 for the decking. Your next problem is lining up the brackets and drilling holes adn bolting it all together. Pontoon to tritoon conversion.

Having a tritoon means that your boat is more stable in choppy conditions and is easier to handle. Takes less than 5 minutes for either function. The only way to try to elevate the cabin is to keep the construction light enough that the pontoons can handle the eight of everyone and everything that is on top of them.

If you put too much weight on top of the pontoons when you are trying to build the pontoon houseboat you will quickly realize that your boat is too low in the water. If youre fairly handy its possible to do a pontoon boat lift conversion at home by building the required parts. Having your very own pontoon boat is a great source of joy but before you can take it out onto the water you need to learn the basics for how to drive a pontoon boat.

Does the transom need to be modified. Alert your passengers before you make a sharp turn. Instead of having two large aluminum tubes beneath the deck a tritoon has a third tube in the center that distributes weight even more evenly over the water.
