A 18 foot boat may be too small. I had a 20 foot Aqua Patio pontoon boat with 24 inch dia pontoons and it was OK for 2 or 3 people but marginal for more. We had to be very careful about who sat where and slow down for all but the smallest wakes to avoid getting soaked. We subsequently had a 24 foot Harris, also with 24" pontoons and it was an extraordinary difference in capacity, speed and comfort. My advice is to try it before you buy it.

Quality, durability and reliability of both brands was very very good.

Good luck.
