Each pontoon comprises an elongated, generally cylindrical shell having a bow end consisting of an eccentric conical section extending upward at an angle out of the water. Splash rails, comprising fins protruding from the pontoon's shell, are disposed along the pontoon's inner and outer surfaces so that they extend substantially from the pontoon's bow end to its stern end. Each pontoon may also includes a splash guard comprising a second, larger fin mounted to the inner surface of the pontoon's shell near the its bow end. The deck of the pontoon boat includes a motor transom for mounting an outboard motor.
