Choosing a Laker Pontoon Package

BUYING GUIDE · September 15, 2026 · The Laker Team

Fishing seats, lounge seating or a dedicated helm? Compare the practical differences between five Laker packages before choosing your layout.

Choosing a small pontoon starts with the way you want to spend your time on the water. The Laker lineup offers several seating and motor combinations, so two boats with a similar footprint can feel quite different in use.

Start with the seating

The 612 Trolling Fisher has four removable seats on a 6-foot-wide deck. It is worth considering when individual fishing seats and a narrower layout matter most. The 712 DLX adds a foot of deck width and combines two front folding chairs with rear lounge seating and storage.

For a dedicated helm, the 712 Electric and 712 Ultimate use a center console, rear bench and three individual seats. The Pro-Lounge puts more emphasis on relaxing, with front lounges, an L-shaped rear lounge and a side console.

Compare the complete motor package

The standard 612 Trolling Fisher and 712 DLX include rear trolling-motor packages. The 712 Electric includes a Navy 6.0 electric outboard, while the Ultimate combines a Honda 20 HP outboard with a bow trolling motor. The Pro-Lounge uses a Spirit 1.0 Evo electric outboard and is an electric-only seating configuration.

Check the details before choosing

  • Compare passenger-weight limits and total load limits, not just seat count.
  • Check which batteries, controls and chargers come with your motor selection.
  • Budget for your trailer choice: it is optional on all five packages.
  • Review the final layout before adding a console or changing seats.
