What a pod costs
A Main Boat Pod is NZ$560 ex GST, a standard Bow Pod NZ$450 and a Speed Bow Pod NZ$500. Volume breaks apply from 10 pods. Rotomoulded pods are made to order in Auckland, typically in a few weeks.
What goes on top
The pods are the hull. Above them is yours to build: timber runners and joists, decking, a motor bracket, seating, a canopy or a cabin. That is where most of the variation in a pontoon boat's cost comes from, and why the price list covers the pods only. The construction guide walks through each step.
Freight
Freight is quoted to your address or nearest port, anywhere in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific. See pontoon boats NZ for New Zealand builds and pontoons in Australia for AU$ pricing.
