Working With the World’s Greatest Pontoon Salesman: Big Lou Grosklags



When it comes to pontoon shopping, most people expect the usual: a little small talk, a stack of brochures, maybe a pen with the dealership’s name on it. But at Boat World, you don’t just meet a salesperson—you meet a living legend. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Big Lou Grosklags: the undisputed heavyweight champion of pontoons.

Big Lou doesn’t just sell pontoons. He practically baptizes you into the sacred order of leisure boating. You don’t walk into Boat World, you step into his ring, and suddenly you’re floating in a sea of confidence. Need to know which pontoon can handle your entire extended family, a Labrador, and enough snacks to survive a three-day holiday weekend? Lou already has the answer. Wondering if a tritoon is worth the upgrade? Lou will break it down for you like a ringside commentator calling the play-by-play.

The man doesn’t just know pontoons—he is pontoons. Some say when Big Lou walks, you can hear the faint sound of a Honda engine idling in the distance. Others swear he was born with a life jacket on.


But let’s cut through the jokes for a moment, because here’s the truth:


The Real Big Lou


Behind the humor, the charisma, and the championship-level salesmanship, Big Lou Grosklags is simply one of the best in the business because he cares. He’s known for:


  • Customer Care That’s Second to None - Lou listens first. He takes time to understand what you need out of your pontoon—whether it’s family fun, fishing trips, or high-performance cruising—and makes sure you get the right unit, not just any unit.
  • Down-to-Earth Service - There’s no hard sell, no gimmicks. Lou is as approachable as they come, and you’ll feel like you’re talking to a friend who happens to know everything there is to know about pontoons.
  • Responsiveness That Builds Trust - Questions? Concerns? Big Lou doesn’t leave you hanging. Customers consistently remark how quick he is to respond, and how he goes the extra mile to make sure they feel confident every step of the way.
  • Matching the Right Boat to the Right Family - At the end of the day, a pontoon isn’t just a boat—it’s a lifestyle. Lou takes pride in connecting people to the perfect boat for their needs, so the memories they make on the water are as smooth as the ride itself.


So yes, it’s fun to joke that Big Lou is the "champ" of pontoons. But when the laughter fades, what you’re left with is a salesman who delivers on every level: expertise, care, and trust. And that’s why customers at Boat World don’t just leave with a new pontoon—they leave knowing they’ve been guided by the very best.


Boat World + Big Lou Grosklags = the ultimate win-win.
