New Wave Docks' Modular Pontoon Craft

Ten floats and six aluminum rails form the base.

Anyone interested in an affordable high-weight capacity pontoon-style boat, and who also likes DIY projects, should consider the modular pontoon system from New Wave Docks, a well-known roto molding company located in 100 Mile House, B.C.

I took delivery of two of these systems from New Wave Docks and will chronicle their evolution as they transform from pieces of aluminum framing with floats and bow/stern pieces into sturdy boats that will deliver many years of service and fun.
