An improved pontoon boat reduces outboard motor noise and vibration for passengers. A plurality of beams extends between port and starboard pontoons respectively to form a beam matrix to maintain the spacing of the pontoons, to support a deck sheet serving as a floor for the boat, and to support a motor bracket. The beam matrix includes at least a first and preferably a second motor beam, both attached between the port and starboard pontoons. A motor bracket for supporting the outboard motor is attached to and contacts the first and second motor beams only. A motor bracket support may attach the motor bracket to the first and second motor beams. The motor beams, the motor bracket, and bracket support contact only the pontoons, and thus isolate the outboard motor from the deck sheet, the remainder of the beam matrix, and the pontoons.
