Premier makes a nice quality build boat! I had one and my only complaint was getting parts or anything for that matter from them as it took forever and for no reason.

Can't really answer your question about salt water use but do know some people paint their tubes when using in salt water.

Good Luck!

We have owned 3 premiers, they are my favorite brand. I have owned many pontoons and couldn't be happier with premier. I haven't had anything really go wrong with any of them so I cannot comment on parts availability. As far as salt water packages, all they add is bottom paint to the tubes and an extra anode for protection. You could make any boat work in salt water provided you have the heavy hull version, in the premiers that equates to a ptx30 or preferably ptx36.

The things that usually go wrong with pontoons are mechanical, which ties back to the brand of motor and rigging. Pontoons are flat decks with tubes, fence and seats.

Someone was selling a 16' Premier with twin outboards. Claim to go 70 mph. Has anyone seen this?

A 16' with twins? I would think it would flip over backwards!
