FAQs

With Johnson’s, you’re never going wrong when it comes to pontoon boats. They offer a wide range of makes and models that cater to the diverse needs of families, couples, individuals, and groups seeking to enjoy the water. Whether you’re an avid fisherman, a cruiser, or a speed demon looking to tube, Johnson’s has got you covered. And the best part? They even have pontoon boats that can accommodate all your water activities in one package.

Certainly, we recommend against operating your boat under power to fully utilize its capabilities for both personal enjoyment and resale value. However, there are several factors to consider. Do you have any plans for tubing or skiing within the next five years? Are you operating on a no-wake lake? How many individuals will you typically have on your pontoon? What is the size of the lake you will be using? Would you be concerned about reaching shore quickly in the event of an approaching storm? Our sales representatives possess expertise in this area and can assist you in determining the most suitable option based on your specific needs and budget constraints.

Having a trailer offers the freedom to take your boat to any lake you desire at any time. If you intend to leave it on the lake in the same spot throughout the summer, you certainly don’t need to invest in one! We provide pull-out and put-in services and trailer rentals, so you don’t have to keep your own trailer idle while mice find it. One of the advantages of a scissor trailer is its ability to lower your pontoon all the way to the ground, providing various options for storing it during the winter.

Do you have a garage or a suitable place to store your pontoon? If so, we can conveniently meet you at the landing, winterize it there, and then pick up your pontoon. We’ll deliver it to your desired location. All you need are some logs or blocks to place under the tubes, and we’ll lower the pontoon all the way to the ground for safe storage. However, if you don’t have a garage, we do offer top-notch storage services for pontoon owners who purchase them from us. Our storage facilities are equipped to handle all the necessary winterization, cleaning, battery charging, boat inspection, and spring runs. We’ll ensure your pontoon is in excellent condition and ready for trouble-free summer water adventures. When you visit our store, kindly inform our sales representatives that you’re interested in obtaining the most up-to-date prices for our comprehensive full-service storage packages.

Don’t feel overwhelmed in this area, as it’s where we excel in providing exceptional customer service and experience. Whether you’re purchasing a new boat or a used one from us, we’re committed to ensuring a smooth and hassle-free ownership experience for years to come. Regarding maintenance, it’s essential to consider the type of motor you have. Depending on the horsepower, you’ll need to winterize your boat every fall to prevent any issues during spring. Winterization services range from $60 to $200. Oil changes are another crucial aspect of boat maintenance. Like a car, your four-stroke engine oil requires regular changes. Most of our customers in the area follow a three-year oil change cycle, which is suitable for moderate usage. However, if you use your boat daily or frequently, you may need to change the oil yearly. Fishing guides, on the other hand, may require oil changes a couple of times a year. Weekender boat owners typically follow a three-year oil change schedule.
