Having a table on your pontoon is a must; that’s why most, if not all, manufacturers offer one standard. However, the main complaint against traditional fixed tables is the practicality. The table works great for placing food for the group, but is often not close enough to eat from when you’re seated. This is because engineers know they need to leave enough space for people to walk past the permanent table when it’s not being used. Sure, you could remove the table base and top, but finding a place to store it becomes a bigger issue.
With Lagun, you gain a solid table with a ton of versatility. Installation is simple; you just attach the table top you selected to the base plate, then decide how you want to mount the leg. The non-toe-kick option is by far the most popular for the base plate, but it requires drilling a small hole in the deck of your pontoon. If you did want to completely remove the table, this bracket is flush with the floor, so the advantages are easy to see.
However, for those who don’t want to cut a hole in their deck (or plan to leave the table in place at all times), Lagun offers a surface-mount hub. For our needs, we went with the second mounting option. Yes, it does stick up a little, but our table isn’t coming down.
The multi-position use is what makes it so popular. To tighten it snugly into a specific position, there are a couple of easy-to-turn knobs. Plus, it breaks down just as easily for storage too. There is a plate on the back of the table designed to slide into the leg. In this position, it takes up very little space, which is very impressive. The standard leg with bracket begins at $229 for the silver version, like the one we installed, with the 15-by-31-inch walnut-colored tabletop priced at $199.
Now that we’ve had a little time to play around with the Lagun table in the bow, it might be time to add a second one for the stern passengers.
