The slips were built before pontoon boats were popular. Seems like the pontoon boats are wider and are a tight fit.

Many of the slips in the past decade which held boats are now holding 4 PWCs.

There will definitely be a big demand!
Pontoons are pretty standard at 8' or 8'-6" widths (beam) whereas most newer boats over 20' have at least an 8' beam. It's just that pontoons are 8' or 8.5' the whole length and seem wider. The only real issue with pontoons seems to be some valet services are not quite setup right to accommodate non-V hulls, but that needs to change since they are the fastest growing segment for lake boats.
