Why Buy Harris® Pontoons?
Harris pontoon boats provide everything you need for a memorable time out on the water. One of the great hallmarks of these pontoons is their solid construction that makes them extremely durable. With regular maintenance your Harris boat will last you a lifetime, providing you with endless opportunities for cruising in comfort and style. It’s no surprise that these vessels are often passed down through generations within a family—and their resale value is high, too.
At The Harbor (Boat & Yacht Sales), we know that Harris pontoons are truly valuable investments. Read on to know why we think so. When you’re ready to look at some quality models for sale, head to our dealership in Branson, Missouri.
Integrated Design
The way that Harris pontoons are built allows them to be sturdy and durable. Each boat is designed to be an integrated system that creates an impressive, lightweight platform proven to endure years of rigorous use. The unique 2-piece Dolphin Nose Cone design is equipped with an in-built splash fin that helps to effortlessly cut through the water. The splash fin comes with eye-catching rolled edges for better safety and the higher mounting makes these vessels dock- and trailer-friendly.
Another key feature is the focus on providing maximum stability. A typical boat is built with one hull that is centered. This makes it less stable and prone to rocking from side to side. Harris pontoon boats, on the other hand, rely on two or more hulls built from hollow aluminum tubes that are around 25’’ in diameter. The tube sections are welded with a robust, double-layered seam for ultimate strength. In the rare event that a pontoon gets damaged or takes on water, the multiple air-tight chambers ensure that it can safely return to the dock. All of these features combine to deliver a powerful performance out on the water.
Torsion Reduction
There's a reason these boats are so popular among families. Thanks to the Total Torsion Reduction System (TTRS), the full-length pontoon riser brackets absorb and distribute the shock of choppy waves and minimize deck torque. This creates a smooth riding experience, making it less likely that your passengers will trip as they walk around. The stability also makes it easy to enjoy a range of activities from a picnic to playing a board game, which is especially important if you have younger kids on board.
Superior Deck Construction
Another thing that makes these vessels so amazing is the innovative deck design. The cross-member structure is made of high-quality aluminum extrusions that protect your craft from the hazards of water. More than 100 screws are used on every deck to ensure a strong, watertight bond. The marine-grade tongue and groove deck provide sturdy protection that you can count on to prevent the platform from bending or cracking. This not only helps reduce the need for costly repairs but it also keeps your Harris pontoon boat looking new for much longer.
Marine-Grade Electrical Cables
Harris pontoons use only the best marine-grade cables and wiring supplies that are built to last in the harsh marine environment. The cables are routed through plastic grommets to protect the wires from coming in contact with aluminum. Additionally, insulated connectors provide a water-resistant and secure connection to keep your boat safe from electrical shocks. If you look closely, you’ll find that all the electrical components used are of top-notch quality.
Without a doubt, these are some of the best crafts on the market. Their durable construction, classic styling, lighter weight, and amazing features make it hard to compare them to other boats.
