To me, if you want to go out when you "might get caught in the weather", I'd avoid pontoons. If you want all weather boating, a cabin or canvas enclosure over a real boat hull seems to be the way to go. Summary: use a boat 50-60 days a year, use a pontoon 30 days a year, based on weather. I'm sure there are islander exceptions, but I'm looking at posts from folks who own both types.

I'm probably closer to 240 days a year![emoji6]
