Pontoon Loader as a Trailer up grade

[dcatino]

I have a pontoon boat that I trailer for the past two boating seasons, and I continue to struggle getting to boat on the trailer straight. I have tried a couple of guide solutions but nothing has worked. I have identified a new product and I was wondering if anybody has experience with it, the product " Pontoon Loader" ? https://pontoonloader.com/

No experience with that specific product but I’ve owned 3 different pontoon boats over the past 23 years.

one big issue is that the angle of the guide ons is fixed so it would only “work” at the one ramp where the angle was set for—-at a shallower or steeper ramp it may block the pontoon from loading at all or be underwater and be useless.

it’s not worth anywhere near the $649 asking price—-it can be made for about $50 worth of aluminum tubing and pressure treated lumber from your local big box store should you want to try it.

its a waste of money

Way more than it needs to be. The front is going to center itself. It's just the back that needs a pair of guides.

I got guides (4) verticle roller type on mine... set them up bout 1/2 inch from tubes in resting place.. works perfectly. never a problem and very helpful. ive found setting bunk water line depth bout 1/2 way in water and 1/2 out works best... a really steep ramp can be a problem... fortunately i have not encountered one of those
