Barletta Pontoon Boats, a new pontoon company based in Bristol, Indiana, continues to make an impressive entrance into the boating world. Barletta has inked a deal with SkipperBud’s to distribute the company’s pontoons through its network of 17 locations throughout the Midwest. Almost immediately after its debut in January, Barletta received the 2018 National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Innovation Award for its L-Class series of pontoons. Mike Pretasky, Jr., head of Skipperbud’s, says Barletta approached him before they had even produced a real boat, but he was impressed with the company’s team and mission.
