If you spend your weekends on Oneida Lake or cruising the St. Lawrence River, you know that a "relaxing" day can turn choppy in a heartbeat. Oneida Lake is famous for its fast-building waves and shallow spots. To handle the "Oneida Chop" and the heavy traffic of the 1000 Islands, you need more than just a standard boat. You need a platform that is rock-solid.

At Spicer Marine in Clayton, NY, we see a lot of pontoon buyers from Syracuse, Cicero, and Brewerton. They all ask for the same thing: a boat that won't fall apart after a few seasons of Central New York weather. That is why we recommend Veranda Luxury Pontoons. Veranda is the only pontoon built to be a "forever boat."

All-Aluminum, All-Welded Construction

Veranda uses a patented All-Aluminum All-Welded Interlocking Deck System. Instead of bolts and wood, they weld together a heavy-duty aluminum deck and some of the thickest-gauge pontoons in the industry.

Why it matters for Oneida Lake: When the wind kicks up across the 21-mile stretch of Oneida, most pontoons will flex and squeak. A Veranda stays stiff and quiet. Because the deck is welded, the boat acts as one solid piece. This gives you a much smoother, safer ride when you are heading back to the slip at Sylvan Beach or South Bay.

Durability in the Shallows: Oneida Lake is relatively shallow. If you ever nudge a sandy bottom or deal with the rocky shorelines of the St. Lawrence, you want the peace of mind that comes with an all-aluminum structure. There are no staples to pull out and no wood to get waterlogged.
