If you ordered it without a trailer, we’ll launch it in your pond and you’re ready to start fishing!

We've built our reputation the good ol’ fashioned Texas way; with integrity, hard work and good nature. We manufacture all our boats with the intention that they will last a lifetime, and beyond. If you have a problem with your boat that is related to its construction, we’re going to take care of it. But, to make it official, here’s the warranty:
All of Pond King's small pontoon boats 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 small pontoon boats before shipping or delivery. You can pay in full when you place your order online, or, if you prefer, you can 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.

FAQ
To help you decide which boat is best for you, please check out our Boat Recommendation tool. Or, if you’d prefer, give us a call. Our boat experts will help you choose the right boat and outfit it just the way you want.
All of Pond King's 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.
All the Pond King pontoon boats are designed to be low maintenance with welded aluminum subframes, heavy gauge pontoons, and stainless steel hardware. Unlike a V-hull or Jon-boat, Pond King pontoon boats don’t require constant tarping or need to be bailed out after a storm. Once delivered, your Pond King pontoon boat can pretty much stay in the water.
The decking on all of our small pontoon boats is made of custom extruded, tongue-in-groove aluminum planks with a skid-resistant powder-coating. The decks of our pontoon boats stay cool and aren’t slippery when wet, plus they'll last a lifetime.
At Pond King, we manufacture our boats, start to finish, right here at our facility in Gainesville, Texas, and that includes the pontoons. We roll our pontoons to our own specifications from 0.080” marine-grade 5052 aluminum. By adjusting the diameter to length ratio, we can create the appropriate buoyancy for each of our boats - so they only need two pontoons. If you check out our mini pontoon boats, you'll see that some of our boats actually have 4 pontoons - but they are configured to act the same way our 2 pontoon system works.
You bet. The cone shape on the front of the pontoon improves the boats steer-ability. We’ve specifically designed the pitch of our cones to keep the nose up – when you are speeding up or slowing down – and to facilitate maneuverability in the water, so the front end slices through the water.
Pond King's small pontoon boats are known for their stability, especially as it relates to their size. Welding our frames together, versus bolting, provides a very high level of torsional stability at the joints which contributes to the overall stability of the craft.
Unlike bolts, welds don’t work loose over time. That’s why at Pond King we weld the deck frames to brackets, which are then welded to the pontoons, contributing to the boat’s stability and longevity.
Because all of our boats are built to order, we require a $1,000 deposit before we start construction. The balance is due either prior to shipping or at the time of delivery. If you are picking your boat up, or we are delivering it, we'll require the balance when you take possession of the boat. We’ll accept credit cards, checks, or even good ol’ cash.
Because most of our customers have us put their boat on the water, and that's where it stays, we don’t include trailers in the base price - although we do offer trailers for all small pontoon boat models.
We recommend using a Long (20″) shaft outboard motor on the Sport models and up.
Built for cruising in comfort
The spacious, stable design invites you to kick back, relax, and enjoy the water. Like all our other pontoon boats, the Lil’ Cruiser has a 100% all-welded, aluminum frame and pontoons, but unlike our other boats, this baby comes standard with a carpeted, marine-grade plywood deck. Don’t worry though; it’s a Pond King, so you can rest assured you’ll be enjoying this Lil’ Cruiser for years to come! If you want to add a lil’ luxury to your experience “down at the pond,” this is the small pontoon boat for you.
Risk-free purchase
All of our compact pontoon boats are built to order and construction starts as soon as we receive your deposit. But don't worry that you won't love it once it gets to you: We deliver our compact pontoon boats with a “Turn Around Guarantee.” If you’re not satisfied with your Lil’ Cruiser Pontoon Boat at delivery, we refund your entire deposit, “turn around” and haul the boat back to Gainesville. Rest assured, when you order your Lil’ Cruiser, you will be buying the best small pontoon boat on the market today, with absolutely no risk.
