The Pond King Sport is the perfect boat for a small lake. It is very comfortable, roomy, and stable. Run it with a 55 lb. thrust pontoon mount hand control trolling motor on front of boat. Perfect set up.

Stable, comfortable fishing platform for two
With a deck that is six feet wide and over eight feet long, you’ll barely notice it when your fishing buddy gets up and moves around on this boat. And you’ll both be comfortable, sitting up on swivel, pedestal seats which allow you to move around easily to keep your line square to the fish on its end. Stand up to cast, or reel in your catch, or sit in comfort while you’re waiting for a hit on this highly-stable, super comfortable fishing boat for two.
Simple, maintenance-free design
Simplicity is a good word to describe the design of the Sport. The all aluminum pontoons are welded, the frame is welded, and the pontoons are welded to the frame. Nothing needs greasing and there are no rivets or joints that are going to work loose over time. We kept the standard features simple, too; 2 standard rod holders and 2 off-deck battery trays. The boat is maintenance free, but we do recommend you remove the seats and motor and store those somewhere out of the weather if you aren’t going to be using them for a while. Otherwise, this boat can sit out on the water - just waiting for you.
Get to those hard to reach places
Ever feel like the fish are hiding out in exactly the spots you can’t get to in your boat? Well, that’s not going to be the case in the Sport. With pontoons that are 12-feet long and 16-inches in diameter, this boat drafts only about 8 to 10 inches. And at its relatively small size, the Sport is incredibly maneuverable. The fish will find it hard to hide from you and your Sport.
Risk-free purchase
We custom build all our boats to order, and to get your boat into our production schedule you’ll need to make a deposit, with the balance due when you take possession of the boat. But we deliver all our small pontoon boats with our “Turn-around Guarantee.” If you’re not satisfied with your pontoon boat at delivery, we’ll “turn around,” bring the boat back to Gainesville, and refund the entire amount you've paid - minus the delivery fee.

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.

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.) Some of our lead times have been impacted by supply chain issues. Please call to get the most accurate estimated ship date for your boat.
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.
A short shaft outboard will work on the Sport model, but if you're getting the Pro model or larger, you'll need a long shaft outboard.
If you’re not satisfied with your pontoon boat at delivery, we’ll “turn around,” bring the boat back to Gainesville, and refund the entire amount you've paid - minus the delivery fee.
