CONCEPT
• Quality construction, premium materials, affordable price tag
• Much of the same materials and construction methods found in higher-end models
• Seating for 11, generous stowage space throughout
CONSTRUCTION
• Larger, 25” pontoons offer more buoyancy, stability, and produce better ride
• Riser brackets feature solid exteriors, rather than segmented supports; reduces torsional forces that affect pontoon boat in rougher conditions
• Cross-members sturdy C channel throughout length of boat
• Lifetime-guaranteed, marine plywood deck
• Exposed rotomolded seat bases
PERFORMANCE
• Top speed just shy of 22 mph w/Mercury 60 outboard
• Adequate for tubing, not recommended for serious towing duties
• How fast am I going? Lacks a speedometer
• Like most pontoons, likes trim at top speed
HANDLING
• Carves a predictable corner without excessive outside lean
• Good stability while underway
• Good for intended audience
UNIQUE FEATURES
• Attractive fiberglass helm, with open stowage below for carry-on cooler
• Solid rub rail runs circumference of boat, eliminating end caps, which are easily torn off at the dock
• Embossed outer skin adds rigidity, touch of style
• Quick-release Bimini hardware
• Stowage in all seat bases, featuring overboard drainage
