The light blue accent color carries over to the interior too where nearly any color combination is possible. Plus, the seating itself is extremely comfortable with the two chaise lounges in the bow equipped with a fold down armrest. Also in the bow seating area are recessed cup holders, storage trays and USB ports on each side.

At the raised helm is a beautiful as well as functional dash console centered on dual Simrad touchscreens with push buttons on one side of the wheel and access to the JL Audio controls on the other. Side note: with the upgraded JL Platinum Audio upgrade, the eight-speaker system with two enclosed subs/amps sounds amazing!

In 2022 Mercury released its Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) for single-engine pontoons and it’s one of the many highlights on this boat. Using retractable bow and stern thrusters in conjunction with the outboard, you truly have complete 360-degree control. Plus if you forget and leave the thrusters deployed, they automatically retract once you put the outboard in gear or you turn off the engine. All of the boat’s top features are controlled from a comfy helm chair that slides, swivels and reclines. For the first mate, the high back helm chair is identical to the one for the captain and we love that the co-captain also has a section that includes storage, cup holders as well as a wireless charging station next to the chair.

Other key highlights include a versatile Sun Lounger that can be converted to different positions with one hand operation, built-in cooler below the lounger, Infinity Stone Gray Seagrass flooring and amazing storage options throughout including a locking glove box for the captain and a deep in-floor ski locker.
