One third of the pontoon boat sits in the water so the deck of 23 inch diameter pontoon is approximately 15.5 inches above the water and the deck fo a 27 inch pontoon boat is approximately 18 inches above the water. These measures vary slightly due to the boat load: fuel on board, passengers, equipment on board, etc.
