Usually pontoon boats with length less than 20 feet and width of 8 feet are categorized as small pontoon boats. As said there are different variations in small pontoon boats. Each of these can serve specific purposes in terms of usability and have associated pros and cons. There are three different types of small sized pontoon boats:

  1. Narrow pontoon boats: Narrow pontoon boats are slim and they have a narrow beam and are suited for narrow rivers. While the standard beam size of a pontoon boat is 9 feet, these narrow pontoon boats have beam width between 6 feet to 8 feet.
  2. Compact pontoon boats: The compact pontoon boats are the most famous category of small pontoon boats. They can be used by a small group of family and friends to have the pontooning adventure at an affordable cost. The length of these compact models can range from 12 feet to 20 feet with beam width up to 8 feet. You get 100 to 160 square feet of deck area.
  3. Mini pontoon boats: Now these are the “smallest pontoon boats” available in the market. These are the smallest pontoon boats with width below 7 feet. With around 50 square feet deck area, they are designed to accommodate one or two people and some gears. Some of these models may not even have a motor attached and can be paddle powered.

Due to the size limitations, it is always better to see a small pontoon boat model in person and then fix things up so that you can rather be sure that it will serve the intended purpose.

the mini trolling motor on a boat The Best Mini Trolling Motors

Introduction

Like hunting, fishing requires stealth, which has not been achieved in the past years with engine boats. However, with the invention of trolling motors, anglers can now own the waters and go fishing in stealth mode. There are several trolling motors on the market, but not all offer the complete adventure feel. Therefore, one must go for the best mini trolling motors.

The best mini trolling motors consist of high-quality materials that last for a long while to provide the propelling force that every angler’s boat needs. The GPS also provides top-notch features that locks the boat in place even through high currents and tides, keeping the boat owner assured at all times.

This review walks boat owners through the best mini trolling motors and what makes them special.

Why Choose The Best Mini Trolling Motors

Since the emergence of mini trolling motors, boat owners have been able to gain complete control of their boats. This is especially true for fishermen, as this device allows the swift sail, even in harsh waters, to get a nice catch of their desire. Also, the added GPS feature has taken the experience to a whole another level. Sailors and fishermen can now fix boats’ positions without fear of the current.

 Some of the reasons to get a mini trolling motor are:

It provides more fishing possibilities

Trolling motors are ideal for fishing. With a trolling motor, one can move on water smoothly without scaring away the fish. There are fishes like Blackfish, and Scup that are fond of staying in one place; which makes it harder to catch. Therefore, one must be able to move quickly and precisely. It’s also not a problem if one needs to change locations during the trip. There’s no need to use the loud main engine for this; remove the anchor and replace it.

It has multiple control features

The control features of a trolling motor are straightforward to operate. Also, The variety of options available with a trolling motor makes boat control more enjoyable. It is possible to steer with feet, hands, co-pilot, etc.

It has GPS to lock on the position

This is an excellent feature of a trolling motor. There is a GPS in the motor and it locks in the position of the boat at will to allow the boat owner to concentrate on other things. This means that the boat cannot move out of its position even when affected by wind or current. This is a good investment.

It works in shallow and deep waters

There are shallow water spots that are excellent for fishing but are tough to maintain silence in. For loud boats, stealth fishing is out of the question, so installing a trolling motor on the boat makes it easier. 

It is easy to install and take off

It does not take a special skill to install a trolling motor on a boat. Even a novice can do it with detailed instructions. Although every motor comes with a different manual to install, it depends on the brand. The main criterion for selection is the part of the boat on which it will be mounted. Smaller boats, such as kayaks, use the type that is installed on the transom, whereas larger boats, which require the most benefit from the motor, are installed on the bow.

It helps the environment

Trolling motors are simple to operate, produce no harmful spills, and emit no noise. One does not also harm the ecosystem in which the fish lives. As a result, the boat does not cause any disturbance to the local flora, fauna, and other boat owners.

It is very powerful

These days, powerful trolling motors are available that can keep even a large boat in saltwater in an exact location. Strong winds and currents are also no longer an issue as the motor can work in harsh waters. Nowadays, motors are designed specifically for the saltwater environment, which poses a serious threat to the durability of many materials.

Best Mini Pontoon Boat Manufacturers for 2022

by

For a pontoon’ing experience and to have fun on the water, a person does not necessarily have to consider an extravagant and full-size pontoon boat. There are plenty of mini pontoon boat manufacturers whose water vessels provide an opportunity to engage in fun filled activities at on the water at a fraction of the cost. These mini boats are perfect for a small family or groups of four to five people looking for a temporary or short-term pontoon boats.

What is a Mini Pontoon Boat?

Mini Pontoon Boat Manufacturers

Before we start talking about mini pontoon boats I had better define a mini pontoon boat first. First of all, I think it would be better to define a “regular-sized” pontoon boat first, and then everything smaller can be mini, right? In my experience I typically see a standard pontoon boat start at 16 feet long, and most of those pontoon boats are about 8′ wide. So in our consideration we are calling everything about 16′ long x 8′ wide or under a “mini” pontoon boat. Sure a 16′ would technically be a regular boat but have you ever seen a 16′ pontoon next to a 24′ pontoon boat? Not in the same ballpark, am I right?

Manufacturers of Mini Pontoon Boats

There are many mini pontoon boat manufacturers whose offerings can be considered by individuals looking for such boats. Some of these manufacturers build “only” mini pontoon boats and take pride in filling that niche for boaters. Some others are really traditional pontoon boat builders in the sense that they build all kinds of “regular sized” pontoon boats but they happen to have some small or “mini” pontoon boats included in their line up. Here are the best manufacturers of mini pontoon boats.

With an experience of over 21 years, Pond King is one of the most popular and economical mini pontoon boat manufacturers.

The Sport, Pro and Ultra model are other offerings from the manufacturer that have a bit more features and are priced a little bit higher. The top most offerings from the brand i.e. Lil’ Cruise and Elite are just about 16 feet and 6 inches so they start approaching a “regular sized” pontoon boat but the price starts going up higher as well. They do have all the basic amenities and justify their starting price tags. No matter what type of mini pontoon a person is looking for, Pond King has one to fit their needs. What we really like about Pond King is that they are trying to reach customers easier by shipping their boats now. Sometimes they are able to ship in pieces (for you DIY’ers) and that allows them to charge a lot less to get it across the country to you.

Qwest Pontoons

Mini Pontoon Boat Manufacturers Qwest Pontoons

A mini pontoon boat does not necessarily have to be bare without basic amenities. Qwest Pontoons has boats that vary from 13 to 16 feet in length and provide options and features that are at par with the best boats.
