J’s upper decks are known to keep the sun off, and keep the boat fun. But there are more advantages to having an upper deck when it comes to safety out on the lakes this season.
Due to extensive droughts all over the west, lakes located in the western states are not as high as they used to be. This creates dangerous conditions with rocks and lake debris getting caught in the motors way. From the Captain’s view on the pontoon boat, it’s hard to see the rocks in the shallow water, but having someone up on the upper deck as a look out helps keep the ride smooth. The upper deck gives an aerial view of the lake, making it easy to see rocks and other debris sticking out in the murky water. With monsoon season approach, more debris will be flooding into the lakes, so having a safety outlook is an advantage for a safe afternoon out on the lake. It allows for partiers to stay focused on having fun and less on how to fix a broken motor in the middle of the lake. Also from the view of an upper deck, it’s easier to find deeper water sections out in the lake for swimming in.
There are many safety advantages to having an upper deck on a pontoon boat. From keeping the sun off your back to making sure your ride is smooth, there is no argument of why one should buy an upper deck. An upper deck from J’s upper decks are an easy do it yourself project that can fit most pontoon boats. At affordable prices and custom sizes available, it’s a solution everyone should consider when buying a new boat or restoring an old pontoon boat.
