  • Patent number: 6477969
    Abstract: A center pontoon for a pontoon boat provides improved performance and an adjustable engine mount. The adjustable engine mount makes it possible to adjust the relative position of an outboard engine relative to the waterline of the boat. The center pontoon includes a relieved top surface for allowing a vertical adjustment movement of the engine mount. The mount has an elongated, mount body which is adjustably attached to the bottom of the hull of the boat by a pair of spaced apart, elongated mounting rails. The mount body has a vertical profile that is compatibly shaped with the relieved top surface to provide sufficient vertical adjustable movement. The engine mount is located between a pontoon boat deck and the center pontoon.
