Attwood Marine Boat Stands: Dependable Support for Off-Season Storage
When it comes time to haul your boat out of the water for the season, how you support it matters just as much as how you maintain it. Attwood Marine — a brand with over 100 years as a proven marine industry leader — brings that same commitment to durability and engineering precision to its line of boat stands. Whether you store your vessel in a backyard, marina yard, or covered facility, Attwood's boat stand solutions are purpose-built for the task.
The Attwood Pontoon Storage Block: Built for Real-World Demands
Attwood's flagship entry in the boat stand category is its Pontoon Storage Block (model 11401-4), and it is engineered with several thoughtful details that set it apart from generic alternatives. Designed for hassle-free storage, these lightweight yet extra-strong pontoon blocks can hold up to 3,000 pounds each. That impressive load rating gives pontoon boat owners — and owners of similarly wide, flat-hulled vessels — the confidence that their investment is fully supported during extended lay-up periods.
The design goes beyond raw strength. The bottom features a molded-in texture to ensure maximum grip on concrete or ground surfaces, while pre-drilled holes make fastening or staking easy. This is a critical safety consideration: a storage block that can shift or slide is a hazard, and Attwood addresses this from the ground up — literally. For boaters who move their stands frequently during seasonal transitions, ergonomic hand-holds make carrying more comfortable.
One often-overlooked challenge in long-term boat storage is moisture management. Drainage channels and holes prevent water from pooling against your pontoon, reducing the risk of corrosion, mold, and hull staining that can develop when standing water has nowhere to go. This kind of detail reflects Attwood's broader design philosophy: solving real problems that boaters actually face.
Why Trust Attwood Marine for Boat Storage?
Attwood was founded in 1893 by Charles F. Attwood, who manufactured brass accessories for the maritime industry. Over the decades, the brand evolved far beyond hardware, but it never lost its roots in fine engineering and marine-grade materials. Their marine parts are engineered for corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and long service life — whether your boat sees freshwater or saltwater use. That philosophy carries directly into their boat stand lineup, where UV-resistant materials and robust construction ensure the stands hold up season after season.
Attwood's wide range of products are tested to the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE standards, giving boaters assurance that even their storage accessories meet rigorous regulatory benchmarks. Today, Attwood is part of Navico Group by Brunswick, aligning it with one of the most respected names in the broader marine industry.
Choosing the Right Boat Stand Setup
For pontoon owners, the Attwood Pontoon Storage Block is a natural fit — its wide, flat profile distributes weight evenly across the log tubes without concentrating stress on any single point. When setting up your storage arrangement, always use a matched set of blocks to keep the hull level, and consider the ground surface: Attwood's molded-in grip texture performs particularly well on concrete pads and packed gravel. Pre-drill or stake the blocks through the integrated holes if you anticipate wind exposure or an uneven storage yard.
