The Patriot ships via Motor Freight, including residential delivery with a lift-gate and the rate is calculated at checkout. If you pick up your Patriot, we will build it with two 10-foot pontoons instead of four 5-foot pontoons.
The Champ and Patriot carry a limited lifetime warranty on any manufacturer defects on frames, welds and pontoons. Any accessories not manufactured by Pond King carry their own manufacturers’ warranty and are handled directly with those respective manufacturers.
Pond King must receive payment in full for the mini pontoon boats before shipping or delivery. Generally, you can make a full payment when you place your order online. If, however, you would like to make a $1,000 deposit to get your boat into our production lineup and pay the balance with a check, please call us to make those arrangements.
To assemble the Patriot:
- Lay the pontoons around the deck at the four corners. Then, lift the rail off the deck and set aside.
- Set the deck frame on top of the pontoons so the frame sits in between the square tube and bracket on each pontoon. Once you have your deck lined up, set the railing on top of your deck matching up the colored/numbered dots.
- Using a socket and wrench, secure the railing and deck to the pontoons.
- Attach the transom to the frame.
- You’ll receive complete assembly instructions with your boat, or you can download those instructions here.

FAQ
All of Pond King’s mini pontoon boats are intended for 2 people fishing relatively small bodies of water. So, the other factors you should consider are your budget and ability to do some assembly. If you are very budget focused, and pretty handy, the DIY Boat Kit would be a good option. However, if price is important but you aren’t very good at building things, the Patriot could be right for you. If you want a fully-assembled boat you can just put out on your backyard pond, choose the Champ if you want to use a trolling motor to get around.
All of Pond King's finished pontoon boats are made to order, right here at our facility in Gainesville. Once we receive your order, we'll get started building your boat but production time will depend on when you place your order. (If you are ordering between March and June, call for an estimated delivery time.) A typical lead time is around 4-6 weeks for completion, depending on the season. The DIY boat kits are usually able to be turned around a little quicker -- around 2-3 weeks -- but again, it all depends on the season!
It is very important that you examine your shipment BEFORE accepting it. Here’s how to properly receive a shipment:
- Inspect all boxes/pallets and make sure you have all the pieces to your order.
- Check the bill of lading from the delivery company to make sure you have all your boxes/pallets.
- Report any missing boxes/pallets to the driver and NOTE ON THE BILL OF LADING. Get it in writing!
- Next, inspect all the boxes/pallets for anything that looks like damage. If there is a punctured or smashed box/pallet, open it, and make sure that there is no damage.
- In the event of damage, you must report it to the driver and NOTE ON THE BILL OF LADING. If you do not note the damage on the bill of lading, you are confirming that you received the goods in perfect condition, and you release both Pond King and the shipping company of any liability on the shipment. While we will do what we can to help you out, ultimately Pond King is not responsible for any damage caused during shipping by a third party.
The DIY boat kit and the Patriot have 4 pontoons because we wanted to be able to ship these boats via common carrier. So, instead of one long pontoon on each side of the boat platform, we made two shorter pontoons. Functionally, on the water, they provide exactly the same stability and buoyancy as a single pontoon would, it is just that the smaller pontoons make it possible to ship the boats - which can be less expensive than delivery.
The main difference between Pond King’s mini and small pontoon boats isn't just their capacity (the mini boats are 1 or 2 person) but also the size body of water for which they are appropriate. The Pond King mini pontoon boats are intended for smaller bodies of water, specifically ponds or limited access fishing on lakes, whereas the small pontoon boats can handle larger bodies of water.
If you choose the DIY pontoon boat kit, because we are only providing parts of a boat, and not a completed one, the boat kits do not have a HIN (Hull Identification Number), and therefore, no title. The Patriot and Champ are completed boats and will come with an MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) and a HIN (Hull Identification Number).
In Texas, if you are only using your boat on your private property, you don’t need to register it. However, if you’ll be transporting your boat to public waters, registration is required. If you’re not a Texas resident, we recommend checking with your state to find out the laws and requirements.
Because of the small pontoons and blunt ends, the Patriot is best suited for an electric trolling motor only. Without cones on the front of the pontoons, the boat will plow through the water, and no, sorry, we don't have an option to build this with cones. If you're looking for a boat that can be operated with a small outboard motor, you'll need to bump up to the Sport model.

All Reviews
My new Pond King Patriot is the best pond boat period. Boat is sturdy and big enough to easily fish from. I love the over all design. It was simple to assemble and get on the water to start fishing. I highly recommend.

Assemble your boat in minutes
The Patriot two-man fishing boat is so easy to assemble the only tools you’ll need are a ratchet and sockets. In less than an hour, you’ll have yourself a stable, highly-durable two-man pontoon fishing boat ideal for pond hopping or targeting limited access spots on your favorite lake.
Years of fishing memories with very little maintenance
By design, pontoon boats require less maintenance than their v-hull cousins. You never have to worry about tarping or bailing these boats out. And, while the Patriot comes standard with an aluminum-framed marine-grade plywood and carpeted deck, you can choose to upgrade to an all-aluminum deck for an even more durable, light-weight option.
Stability and comfort
One of the reasons pontoon boats are so popular is that their design makes them considerably more stable than other, similarly sized boats. But the other thing that is great about these boats is you sit on a pedestal, swivel seat that is easier on the back and knees. Plus, as the fight on your line moves around the boat, you can easily turn your seat or stand up to land your catch. With a Patriot pontoon boat, you can fish with confidence and comfort.
