Avalon Pontoon Makes National Debut At Roar Offshore

Avalon Pontoon Makes National Debut At Roar Offshore

By: pdbmagazine

Organizers for the upcoming Roar Offshore Powerboat Races have announced Avalon Pontoons as a sponsor debuting their new twin Mercury Racing 450R triple tube pontoon as a pace boat for several of the races. They will also be participating in an exhibition race for spectators and providing demo rides in the wet pits area.

Avalon Pontoons, is the third largest pontoon manufacturer in the world led by CEO Jim Wolf, with 250 dealers across the United States & Canada. Avalon has been making the highest quality luxury pontoon boat since 1972. They have teamed up with WMF Watercraft & Marine to unveil their first ever 27-foot Avalon Excalibur Elite Windshield triple tube pontoon with Twin Mercury 450R engines during Roar Offshore. This custom built vessel is loaded with every option Avalon has to offer.

“Having a major boat manufacturer like Avalon make their national debut at Roar Offshore speaks volumes for our race site and the Fort Myers area,” said Roar Offshore President Tim Hill. Bill Forenski, owner of WMF Watercraft in Millsboro Del., has been pushing the boundaries of pontoon horsepower for a little under a decade. His partnership with the engineers at Avalon & Tahoe Luxury Pontoons in Alma, Mich., and Mercury Racing has resulted in production of one of the fastest, smoothest riding twin engine and single engine Mercury Racing powered triple tube pontoons in the industry.

Pontoon enthusiasts nationwide seek Bill out for his input and expertise in this field. Avlon is now setting the bar a little higher with the release of its new 2785 Excalibur Elite Windshield powered by twin Mercury Racing 450R's, that is sure to be the most powerful pontoon ever produced by Avalon & Tahoe.

Boat Clubs & Rentals For Precious Cargo | Aloha Pontoons

Boat Clubs & Rentals For Precious Cargo | Aloha Pontoons

By: Aloha Pontoons

Rental boat customers are precious cargo and they deserve the very best constructed pontoon. Aloha is the only company who can provide a pontoon that will stand up to these rigorous conditions. We have outfitted marinas from coastal waters to the smallest of lakes throughout the nation since the 1960's.

See for yourself what Bill Barnes, President of Tri-Pennant Family of Resorts has to say about working with Aloha. 

Whenever anybody asks me to recommend a brand of pontoon boats, I have an immediate response to them. "Aloha" manufactured by Waco Manufacturing in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  

The reason that I do not hesitate with this recommendation is because of almost 30 years of buying and renting Aloha pontoon boats, which we believe are some of the nicest and most durable pontoon boats built.  

A little history - my dad started Mountain Harbor 47 years ago. We are located on Arkansas' largest lake - Lake Ouachita - a 49,000 acrew wilderness lake surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest. 

I assumed management control of Mountain Harbor almost 35 years ago and recognized very quickly one of the necessary cash flow components of our company was first-quality rental equipment for the marina. We tried a couple of other brands of pontoon boats which were okay but didn't seem to hold up well. We started using Aloha around 30 years ago.  

As Mountain Harbor (Arkansas' largest family owned resort) has grown to its present size of 900 acres; two residential areas; 1300 slips; and various pools; tennis courts; riding stables; dive shop; conference facilities; etc.; so has our fleet of Aloha pontoon boats. 

Over the years of our relationship with Aloha we have learned a lot about renting pontoon boats and have shared a number of ideas with Aloha that have, we believe, made their pontoon boats not only better for us, but a better overall product. One of the values of our relationship has been the ability to exchange information back and forth. The owners, management and the rest of the Aloha family have had a wonderful influence on us and how we offer our fleet to our customers. 

The bottom line is we are extremely proud to offer Aloha pontoon boats which we believe are as luxurious as any in the industry - truly first class, but are extremely durable and will give us several years of service without significant maintenance. 

We applaud you for constantly improving your equipment. They are always stylish; always constructed to the very highest of standards; and have always pleased our customers. We will continue to offer Aloha barges at Mountain Harbor, Iron Mountain and Self Creek with pride. 

- Bill Barnes
President
