The Black Southbay is a singular, trailer-mounted 20-foot pontoon offered by The Main Store in Danbury. It’s the only pontoon in the fleet that comes on its own trailer and is explicitly set up to be trailered to whatever lake you choose. Powered by a 25 HP ETEC and equipped with Coast Guard–approved life jackets and basic onboard kit, it’s set up for a straightforward day on the water for groups of up to eight.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RIG

Trailer‑Ready — Truly Mobile

This 20‑foot Black South Bay is the only pontoon offered on its own trailer, meaning you can tow it to the lake of your choice; note that The Main Store does not provide delivery for this boat.

THE KIT

Onboard Safety and Basic Comfort

The boat comes with Coast Guard‑approved safety gear and practical fittings: six life jackets, one throwable life vest, an anchor, two tie‑ups and two bunks — enough equipment to support a day afloat with a small group.

THE CAPACITY

Day Trips for Groups of Up to Eight

Powered by a 25 HP ETEC, the pontoon is configured for daytime exploration and accommodates up to eight passengers, making it a straightforward choice for family or friend outings on any accessible lake.

What the day feels like

What a Day with the Black Southbay Feels Like

The rental is built around a single, liberating idea: tow the boat, launch where you want, and spend a day on open water without worrying about delivery logistics. The Main Store prepares the trailer‑mounted pontoon for pickup; from there you travel to your chosen lake, launch, and run a day of boating under the 25 HP ETEC powerplant before returning the rig to base.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this boat suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Day TrippersWell suited — the Black Southbay is configured specifically for single‑day outings and is ideal for groups planning a straightforward day on the water.
2
Small Groups & FamiliesA good match for groups of up to eight who need basic onboard safety gear and plenty of deck space for daytime activities.
3
Tow‑Capable RentersBest for renters with a vehicle and experience towing trailers — the pontoon is trailer‑mounted and The Main Store does not provide delivery.
4
Overnight CampersNot ideal — despite having two bunks, this specific pontoon is offered only as a single‑day rental, limiting overnight use.
