The proper way is to put cribbing dunnage under the structural part of the pontoon (where the circular welds are and internal compartment supports are).
Fully agree with Dan on this one.... leaky pontoons, are not caused because of the rough water conditions on winnipesaukee... Docking, beaching, poor support in storage, etc. lead to the problems.

Because of this there are some places that will not rack store pontoons for Valet service. Harrilla landing by me is one of them.....
