With your budget and our standards in mind, we’ve developed a series of three DIY Boat Kits for you to choose from based on how much you want to spend and how much work you want us to do for you. Whichever option you choose, you’ll end up with a handy little 2-man fishing pontoon boat, perfect for fishing ponds. Because of their size, these boats are only rated for an electric trolling motor – a 45-pound thrust with a 36-inch shaft would be just fine.
If you are looking for a boat that can handle a larger body of water where there may be waves or accommodate more than 2 people or is built completely of aluminum, check out our line of small pontoon boats.
DIY Mini Pontoon Boat Kits, including shipping
If you are a do-it-yourselfer at heart, these boat kits are for you because you can take pride in your craftsmanship, as well as that of Pond King. Plus, these DIY boat kits could be a great project to undertake with your kids or grandkids. We estimate it will only take a few hours to build this floating platform ideal for two fishermen, and it’ll give you years of memories to make.

How to accept a DIY Boat Kit shipment
We stand behind our products, and we do all we can to pack everything securely. Unfortunately, once an item leaves our facility, we have no control over the shipping process. If you accept a shipment that has sustained damage, neither you nor we can make a claim for the damage, so it is very important that you examine your shipment BEFORE accepting it.
Here’s how to properly receive your Pond King products:
- Inspect all boxes/pallets and make sure you have all the pieces to your order.
- Check the bill of lading from the delivery company to make sure you have all your boxes/pallets.
- Report any missing boxes/pallets to the driver and NOTE ON THE BILL OF LADING. Get it in writing!
- Next, inspect all the boxes/pallets for anything that looks like damage. If there is a punctured or smashed box/pallet, open it, and make sure that there is no damage.
- In the event of damage, you must report it to the driver and NOTE ON THE BILL OF LADING. If you do not note the damage on the bill of lading, you are confirming that you received the goods in perfect condition, and you release both Pond King and the shipping company of any liability on the shipment.
Pond King is not responsible for any damage caused during shipping by a third party.
