Can support a lot of weight. However, I'm not sure I'd put my faith in the stability when it's possible that sliding off blocks that aren't wedged in groves is easier.
ten inches to the level
I'm afraid I won't be able to fully trim the motor.
It might move due to the freezing waters, so this is not a good idea. During the winter, it is not designed to be left in shallow water.

Which were difficult to move and gave me a shaky feeling when I set the pontoon down on them. Set up the pontoon outside in the yard this year - For a solid base on softer soil, I used 14 x 14 Pavers underneath the Atwood blocks. Sets of four are available for purchase. I purchased a second, bringing the total number of boats under our pontoon to eight. Setting it down on softer soil, if for no other reason than a second set of cheap peace of mind. I would have been fine with a set of four on a garage floor or concrete.
These are ideal for storing our 22' pontoon boat during the winter months in Wisconsin. It's simple to set up, and there's no need to worry about stability or strength. Great buy, and it's nice that we can stack and store them for the summer instead of buying new ones every year. We used to have spare tires lying around.
Except for the front section, I didn't realize my pontoon's floats were flat until it was completely out of the water. I have an older pontoon, and I believe that newer pontoons or certain models have a groove that runs the length of the float. So we used a 2" thick board to cover the top of the block, which worked perfectly. so far. Don't take my advice on the board; we did it at our own risk. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for the product; my recommendation is to check the bottom of your floats for compatibility.
I debated whether I should just lower my pontoon onto some 2x4s because it would otherwise be on the concrete in my pole barn, but I decided to buy these instead, and they are fantastic.
Every few years, the water level in the local lake is lowered to make it easier for residents to repair their docks and seawalls.

The pontoon, a 22' Bentley with a 115 Mercury outboard, is in excellent condition, and the ground is level and solid.
I purchased these to use in my garage to store a 21' pontoon. They appear to be beefy and capable of supporting a significant amount of weight. You won't be able to adjust or move the boat once it's been set down, so make sure they're exactly where you want them.
The blocks perform admirably and properly support my 25-foot pontoon. They're small and light, but they're incredibly durable. My boats have been sitting on them (in gravel) for the past two months with no problems.
I was concerned that one set would not be enough for our 24 foot pontoon boat, but we installed them in four corners and the boat sits perfectly on them.
