I've never heard of a plontoon before :9
Why do you guys call it that anyway, is is just a joke or something?

Plontoon is what ole diehard round tuber Rich calls a Pontoon/kickboat. If you ask me it's totally gay :+

Belly-boat / float tube = Typically these are innertube shaped or U-shaped. You sit in the water (about waist high) and propel yourself with fins.
Kick-boat / plontoon = These are 2 inflatable pontoons attached with a metal frame (think catamaran). The occupant sits in a seat on the frame above the water and can propel themselves by either putting their feet in the water and kicking (with fins) or by using oars 'attached' to the metal frame. Kickboats are much faster and have tons more carrying capacity and storage. They are heavier and more trouble to move around.
Hope this helps...

IFISH say's,
I often wondered when I kept seeing " Plontoon " whenever Rich posted. I think he's just jerking our chains, but it's funny just the same.

No joke huh? I thought Rich would never convert to the plontoon :+ then as soon as he does he takes it to the next level. I'm looking forward to seeing the show. :7
