| 5 years | 40-45% | 55-60% |
4. Suggestions on purchasing
1.Working environment matching: For still water operations, choose the pontoon type (cheap 30,000-50,000), and for flowing waters, you must choose a professional pontoon tank.
2.Cost-effective choice: The performance of domestic first-line brands is close to imported models, and the price is 30-40% lower
3.Financing options: Currently, mainstream manufacturers provide 3-year installments, with a down payment of 20-30% and an annual interest rate of 4.5-6.8%.
