Pontoon Construction

Sundancer's patented pontoon extrusion and method of assembly combine the best of both worlds (round and U-shaped pontoons) for a lifetime of fun and recreation. Each pontoon is pressure tested and inspected for leakage after it is constructed and contains closed cell foam flotation adding that extra "above and beyond" Coast Guard requirements. That back-up system brings peace of mind for you and your family's safety.



The pontoon nose cones are exclusively constructed. Fins are a fabricated part part of the nose cone itself (not tack welded or riveted on) for unequaled strength and lasting durability. The nose cones contain reinforced side panels with fabricated keels and built-in fins to create a double .100 gauge thickness. They are further strengthened by a cross brace and foam filled to create an "above and beyond" any on the market for maximum strength at high stress points. This method of craftsmanship is on every Sundancer regardless of size or series.

 

Deck Construction

We start with CCA treated 5/8"-7 ply plywood which is individually inspected for premium quality by experienced craftsmen. If it doesn't meet our standards, it is not used! The tongue and groove construction features 6063 T-6 heavy duty extended cross members averaging 16 inch centers. The deck is bolted directly to the pontoons (not welded brackets to attach the pontoons to the deck) with 18-8 stainless steel fasteners and nylon inserted lock nuts.
