A [Main Boat Pod](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/pods-and-pricing/#main-pod) is NZ$560 ex GST, a standard [Bow Pod](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/pods-and-pricing/#bow-pod) NZ$450 and a [Speed Bow Pod](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/pods-and-pricing/#speed-pod) NZ$500.

The pods are the hull. Above them is yours to build: timber runners and joists, decking, a motor bracket, seating, a canopy or a cabin. That is where most of the variation in a pontoon boat's cost comes from, and why the price list covers the pods only. The [construction guide](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/how-it-works/) walks through each step.

Freight is quoted to your address or nearest port, anywhere in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific. See [pontoon boats NZ](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/pontoon-boats-nz/) for New Zealand builds and [pontoons in Australia](https://www.pontoonzboats.com/australia/) for AU$ pricing.
