Both the Tahoe Pontoons 20 ft. Vista 2012 and the Tahoe Pontoons 22 ft. SE-B Fish 2011 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
