River Pontoon Boat

I know they aren't allowed on the ocean (at least I don't think) but does anyone know if rivers that empty into the ocean (in particularly the charles river) allow pontoon boats?

Yes they are. I see them all the time.

I am looking at buying a personal watercraft for fishing this upcoming next year, and I see two options: the first is that I buy a kayak, which I am very sketical about, as I heard they flip easy, and people have drowned in them before around my area, so my parents are shooting that idea down as well. There is also the possibility of a SOT kayak, which I heard is more stable and would likely fit my 6 foot 4 inch frame more. Bottom Line is i dont want to flip, as I may be fishing in water during winter months and I dont want to die lol or lose my gear. The second option I have been contemplating, is something called a White River Paddlefish Pontoon Boat, which looks to be VERY stable and should not flip at all. It is even said to be corrosion resistant, which is good because I will be using it down in Rudee Inlet at Virginia Beach... Does anyone know how well it would fare in salt water, or if it is prone to flipping or tipping?? or should i just settle with a SOT kayak? Please help!!

I found a site that uses plywood http://www.jemwatercraft.com/pontoon.php , drums, and pvc. My boyfriend wants to make a small pontoon, between 6 and 12 feet long, out of 10" or 12" pvc. What is the best way to make it? It's going to be used on a river for fishing, primarily shallow, he only wants a trolling motor and some oars in case the motor runs out of battery.

here is a great site on building the rebel cat sailboat (a pvc pipe sailboat) you can take the hull shape idea and use it to design your boat. he uses traffic cones to streamline the stern ends of the pvc pipe and heats and shapes the bow ends of the pipe to a point.
