Transatlantic Crossing on a pontoon boat?

Question

Has it ever been done? If not, what do you recommend to somebody that wants to do it?

Answer 1

Pontoon boats tend to be lightweight and draw very little water.

That said, a seventy or eighty foot wave would end the crossing very abruptly.

To the person who wants to do it, I would recommend taking out a large life insurance policy and naming me the beneficiary.

Answer 2

I seem to have read somewhere that it has been done, but I woud not recommend it.  It might not be much fun.

Answer 3

Maybe possible, but i doubt it, would take some BIG CAHONAAS. I would contact your local COAST GUARD  first and take out large insurance policy and name (STUART) as Beneficary ! Better bring your A game !!!

PS. Dont forget life Jacket and fishn pole.

Answer 4

If Thor Heyerdahl did it in 1947 on Kon-Tiki, why it can be done now?
