A pontoon composed of a series of hollow pontoon elements which when mounted on a pair of guide rails becomes an integral assembly forming a pontoon. The elements, with the exception of the bow and the stern elements, are identical, with the stern and bow elements having a curved water engaging surface to decrease the resistance to passage through the water. The pontoon elements are mounted between a pair of metallic channels where they may be suitably fastened during use. A screw jack or cable may be used to apply a compressive force to the various pontoon elements to form an integral pontoon assembly. The mounting system used securing for the various pontoon elements to the channel members permits easy removal of a damaged element and swift installation of a suitable replacement element without having to remove the complete pontoon assembly from the craft on which the pontoon is mounted. The pontoon system may be advantageously used for watercraft (houseboats, floating and moving barges), bridges and float assemblies for aircraft.
