PONTOON BOATS |
|||
| Pontoon boats are another special case. Other than requiring a Hull Identification Number, the Coast Guard does not regulate load capacity or powering of these boats. If they have inboard gasoline engines they must follow the fuel and electrical regulations and have a certification label. So, are there standards for these boats that you should follow? Yes! The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has a standard specifically for pontoon boats. This spells out requirements for: Safe Loading Powering Labels The ABYC standard is H-35, Powering and Load Capacity of Pontoon Boats. Contact ABYC for a copy. http://www.abycinc.org/ 613 Third Street, Suite 10
Are there other standards for Pontoon Boats? Canadian Office of Boating Safety has regulations that apply to pontoon boats. http://www.tc.gc.ca/BoatingSafety/regs.htm UK And EU. Pontoon boats are not excluded from the RCD. See my Ike's List page for other links on boatbuilding.
