Hauling my jetski on my pontoon boat ideas

[Pattle]

I was looking at floorplans of new pontoons and found something that might work. Check out images of the Sweetwater 2286 BF. They put a front deck with fishing chairs on it. Looks like the chairs would pop right off and give plenty of deck space forward of the railing. Alternatively, the 2086 FC has those chairs just behind the front railing. You'd have to hoist the ski over the railing, but could then center the weight better on the boat.

I'd go with front deck with removable chairs, thats what my last boat was. Getting them in center of boat is easier said than done, and its a pain in the ass to walk over them all the time.

Mine is for sale! I'll post it tonight.

Are you selling your pontoon?

For some of you just wanting to put there Ski on the front without doing any additional work. Crane winch etc. I’ve used this setup all summer with good luck it’s easy to pull up to the beach and 3 people can get it off. I’ve got it off with 2 before but prefer 3. It’s a 24 ft with a 70hp 2 stroke.

Seems like you could pretty easily rig a pair of bunks & winch (home built davit?) on there & get it done with one person.

I have been considering this for a while now. Some good ideas in this thread.

Lol, yea, right.
This is about the best I've figured out so far. We camp at a place on Couer d'alene that is boat access only.... about 2 miles from the ramp. And no beach to keep the Jetski on. So I bought an 8'x8' inflatable raft that I can store the ski on. Works great. And it's kind of a fun obstacle to carve around or jump over.

Hey dudes I have an idea but just wondering on execution if its too wild. My buddy is buying a pontoon boat but hes being too greedy to let the ole girl ride on the deck so I need to come up with a tow behind rig or additional deck to build. I know i cant just tow a stand up but my idea was buy a large enough tow behind tube and pull the ski up enough so the nose is clear and let it tow. Its going to be a low power boat so this thing aint going anywhere quick. How wild is this idea i think it'll be pretty doable.

I have set my freestyle ski on our LillyPad or (Maui Mat), whatever you want to call it. Have rode the ski out to the sandbar then after too many Captain Morgans, pulled it onto the mat and towed it back. Definitely not ideal for fast travel but worked fine to Booz cruise back home. Several skis fit on them at one time as long as it’s relatively calm. Too many waves and they begin to move around on the mat. Just be careful when pulling ski on if your intake grate is as sharp as mine cause I took a cow bite out of it by accident once.
