Poor House Branch Marina on Logan Martin Lake has been one of the top Avalon boat dealers for years. And in an age where people want it all on one boat, Avalon has introduced the Waketoon.

The new Avalon watercraft combines comfort of a performance pontoon and surfing capabilities of a wakesurf boat. Still classified as a true performance pontoon boat with no monohull, Waketoon offers all of the modern amenities that today’s consumers expect, including a comfortable ride at all speeds, optimal wave handling and ample room for entertaining friends and family.

What differentiates this unique craft is a new patent-pending pontoon design with an integrated rocker and shaper along with contoured wake plates to enable desirable waterflow. There is no heavy ballast tank system, which leads to improved overall handling and the elimination of a time-consuming fill-and-drain process.
