Whois & Analysis for pickyourboats.com

A pontoon is a flotation device with buoyancy sufficient to float itself as well as a heavy load.

A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on pontoons to float.

Boats with three pontoons are sometimes called “tri-toons.” These pontoons—or “tubes” for short—contain a lot of reserve buoyancy and allow designers to create massive deck plans fitted with all sorts of accommodations, such as expansive lounge areas, stand-up bars, and sun pads.

Better tube design has also allowed builders to put ever-increasing amounts of horsepower on the stern.

Pontoons may be used on boats, rafts, barges, docks, airboats, hovercrafts, floatplanes or seaplanes.

Pontoons may support a platform, creating a raft.

A raft supporting a house-like structure is a houseboat.

A fixed platform can be used as a dock.

Common boat designs are a catamaran with two pontoons, or a trimaran with three.

Pontoons may be simply constructed from sealed cylinders such as pipes or barrels, or fabricated as boxes from metal or concrete.

A market, or marketplace, is a location where people regularly gather for the purchase and sale of provisions, livestock, and other goods.

In different parts of the world, a market place may be described as a souk (from the Arabic), bazaar (from the Persian), a fixed mercado (Spanish), or itinerant tianguis (Mexico), or palengke (Philippines).

Some markets operate on most days; others may be held once a week, or on less frequent specified days.

A yacht is a recreational boat or ship.

The term originates from the Dutch word "hunt", and was originally defined as a light fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries.

After its selection by Charles II of England as the vessel to carry him to England from the Netherlands for his restoration in 1660 it came to be used to mean a vessel used to convey important persons.
