Thank you for choosing a Paddle King product! We take pride in
building a high quality yet affordable boat! With a little care and
maintenance, your Lo Pro should give you years of trouble-free
enjoyment on the water. Please take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with the basics of owning and trailering a pontoon boat,
contained in this booklet and in the Basic Boating and Safety
Manual you received with this booklet.
Frequently Asked Questions
We frequently are asked, "What size lake or body of water is too big
for the Lo Pro?" We really intended the Lo Pro line for inland lakes
of approximately 500 acres, but this depends on the situation (wind
speed, boat traffic, size of other boats, etc.). Our Lo Pros are not
intended for rough water or salt water. Any body of water with more
than a one-foot wave should be avoided. Please use your best
judgment and common sense when making the decision of where
to use your boat.
Another question we get asked a lot is, "Can I put a larger motor on
the boat?" The answer is 'No!' The listed rating on a Lo Pro is the
maximum allowable horsepower. The listed horsepower rating has
been determined through extensive testing and is based on
performance and safe handling. The Lo Pro performs best and is
safest with the current horse power rating and under no
circumstances should a larger, heavier motor be used. Exceeding
this rating may cause damage to your boat and will void your
warranty. You can also be ticketed by law enforcement for over-
powering your boat.
