Abstract
A fiberglass pontoon boat, having raised and integrated fiberglass side rails, a flat floor, and a side entry level with the flat floor. Integrated seats are molded in fiberglass. The hull and deck join together by flexing the hull to compensate for opposing draft angles of the hull and deck at the side entry. The deck has a floor and at least one other interior component, and terminates in a deck trim flange. The hull has at least two hollow pontoons and at least two side rails that extend from an outer edge of the pontoons, and the hull terminates in a hull trim flange. When assembled, the hull trim flange operatively engages beneath the deck trim flange to form a unified pontoon boat having a space between the deck and hull and wherein the side rails are integrated as structural parts of the interior component.

A pontoon boat comprising two unitary structures wherein the structures comprise:
- a deck comprising a floor and at least one other interior component, where at least a portion of the deck terminates in a deck trim flange;
- and
- a hull comprising at least two hollow pontoon portions and at least two side rails that extend from an outer edge of the pontoons sections, wherein at least a portion of the hull, including the two side rails, terminates in a hull trim flange,
- such that when the deck and hull are assembled, the hull trim flange operatively engages beneath the deck trim flange to form a unified pontoon boat structure having a space between the deck and hull and wherein the side rail is further integrated as a structural part of the interior component.
