The furniture styling has also been refreshed for the new year and there is a new Pacific Blue railskin color that is available across Barletta’s entire lineup. Standard highlights on the Lusso include interior RGB lighted cupholders, speakers as well as the floor lights, plus the Cool Breeze helm fan and flag kit. Also standard are two LilliPad Marine features; its Accessory Ghost Mounts and its EZ Step Ladder, which is a five rung ladder with wide steps that make boarding easy for not only you but for your dog too. One new option to consider is the Mercury Thruster system, which makes docking extremely easy.
On the mid-line Corsa there is a new furniture pattern and fender baskets and like the high-end line, the interior RGB lighting, LilliPad Ghost Mounts and EZ Step ladder are all standard. Its Cabrio includes a new best-in-class helm station with raised platform for the entry-level line, a new exterior rail design, a new upgraded steering wheel and a wireless phone charger at the helm. The Tube-Tow bar is also now standard.
To create the ideal wake and provide unrivaled handling for wake surfing and other tow sports, the SLX 260 Surf is powered by a Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L MPI ECT engine with a forward-facing Bravo Four S drive, integrated SmartCraft technology and Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls. Working in tandem, electric surf tabs and ballast tanks control the height of the wave and produce a long or short pocket. Using a sophisticated custom user interface, developed in partnership among Sea Ray, Mercury Marine and Simrad, surf settings can be adjusted with a touch of a button to accommodate specific waterspouts and riders’ preferences.
Being a vertically integrated manufacturer, Avalon is constantly looking for ways to mitigate supply chain issues and has come up with a solution for model year 2023. They have decided to take the long list of standard features included with all Excaliburs and roll those into the new LTD, but pair it with its traditional Deco Wall Skin so they are able to produce these models and fill the gap that its suppliers could not.
The engineering team worked on a graphic for the exterior that mimics the curves in the fiberglass to ensure the LTD was as eye-catching as the original, even with a smooth wall skin and from the water you really have to look close to notice the difference.
Along with the addition of this model, both the Excalibur and LTD went through a furniture redesign for 2023 and now features a beautiful tri-colored interior with stunning quilted accents and Ultrafine Vinyl.
Other common standard features include 27-inch diameter Waveglider triple-pontoon performance package, Power GX Arch, interior and exterior RGB lighting, full walk through dual windshield helm, teak-looking vinyl flooring, Viper III touchscreen dash, Premium Fusion Audio sound package, Garmin 743XS GPS and so much more.
This 32-foot model is loaded with features and comes standard with its High Tide Hull with an exclusive layout that is all-new and combines its Swing Back Stern layout with the Yacht Table Stern to offer an amazing “yacht-sized” TriToon. With a 49 gallon fuel capacity and a passenger rating of up to 22 people there’s no telling how far this boat can go. Popular upgrades include its white-out package, Accu-Thrust built-in thruster system as well as the Mist-er Comfort misting system.
The Ventura 20 RL and 23 RL have all the popular fishing features you’ve come to appreciate from this manufacturer, plus a bow entertainment zone creating the perfect combination of fishing and leisure. Also new is an over-sized driver’s console and even a twin bolster captain’s chair on the Ventura 23 RL.
The pontoon side has added the Jazz 140 2RS with an all-new configuration that includes two fishing seats and an overall length of 14 feet. The Jazz 140 2RS becomes the smallest fishing pontoon Princecraft has ever offered. With its affordable price, the Jazz 140 2RS makes the purchase of a pontoon boat accessible to a greater number of fishing and boating enthusiasts. In addition, its small size makes it easy to maneuver.
Also for 2023, Princecraft has revamped the interior configuration of its popular Vectra 23 XT. The aft space now features a fun zone with two rear-facing lounge seats. There is also a change with the ski/tow bar option with the removable ski post that gives you more room when you’re not doing tow sports. With a combination of leisure equipment and fishing features, you get a pontoon boat suitable for fishing trips as well as for family and friends’ pleasure rides.
There are four models in the M-Class RLS series including the 8518, 8520, 8522, and the 8524. With the expanded 8-foot, 6-inch beam, the floor plan has opened up to include key standard features such as a rear platform extension with a stainless steel rear ladder, architectural wall design, custom wall mount light pods with LED navigation and docking lights, Luxury Woven Vinyl flooring, as well as its innovative Air-Tech upholstery with Multi-Flex plug-n-play seating components that increases the versatility of the layout.
The Series One fiberglass helm stand with a raised platform, tilt steering and soft grip wheel is also standard, along with the windscreen with a Billet aluminum frame, REVO captain’s seats and the dual 7-inch Garmin touchscreens.
There is no stain on any of this wood, only a clear coat on top of natural coloring. The Bailey family has approximately 500,000 board feet with about 100,000 board feet treated, dried, and ready to go. The other 400,000 feet is kept submerged under water to preserve it. Sinker cypress wood is prized for its durability and resistance to rot and pests due to its oils and tight grain, making this a boat you can pass down for generations. The cypress wood only needs a clear coat every six to 10 years, depending on the boat’s exposure to the elements.
Bailey Custom Boats provides a totally customizable experience to build a pontoon boat specific to each customer’s needs.
CMG intends to produce up to 1,500 electric pontoons annually featuring an electric inboard/outboard motor powered by the Hercules e-Drive system with the first electric-powered pontoons to be available as early as May 2023 through its North American dealer network.
Stringent regulations, such as those set by the California Air Resource Board (CARB), to reduce emissions from engines in boats and other recreational vehicles go into effect at the beginning of 2023. Electric powertrain systems in boats not only remove emissions, they also eliminate the need for gasoline or diesel fuel and the associated risks.
CMG pontoons powered by the Hercules 200-kilowatt e-Drive system will have a top-end speed above 40 mph and approximately 12 hours of cruising time between battery charges. Programmable software enables users to customize power levels for optimal range or to meet waterway horsepower or speed restrictions.
Unlike other pontoons where power is an afterthought, the Mighty G was designed from the ground up to be powered by electric or gas propulsion. While it may be diminutive, it truly is the Mighty G! With a length of 15 feet, 7 inches and a 7-foot, 6-inch beam, the Mighty G offers plenty of room for up to seven passengers, while the shortened deck height off the tubes creates a stiffer chassis that lowers the pontoon’s center of gravity and helps contribute to efficiency and added performance with both electric and gas engines.
Available in two models optimized for either cruising or fishing, this versatile craft provides everything a family or angler needs for a fun and productive day on the water. Both models are available with the option of Torqeedo Cruise 3.0, Cruise 6.0 or Cruise 12.0 electric engines, making it a spacious option for lakes and reservoirs that limit propulsion to electric only. For gas-powered outboards, the models are rated up to 50hp.
According to the manufacturer, the Current is guaranteed to provide efficient, quiet, and clean power – suitable for salt or fresh water and it comes equipped with its own unique helm and gauges to monitor speed and battery life.
The 20-foot long electric pontoon also boasts a specially constructed deck to support the model’s two, 25-inch diameter aluminum tubes, seating for up to 10 passengers, and an L-shaped sunpad layout.
The Current is a direct reflection of Crest Pontoon Boats’ continual efforts to push the boundaries of innovation with a starting MSRP price of $49K. Options and upgrades include a rollout Bimini top, a wireless phone charger, LED lighting, ergonomically designed captain’s chair, powder-coated fencing, and SoftTouch upholstery color options to match.
Built for adventure seekers, the SunDeck 2600 is quick to plane and provides an extremely comfortable ride. It has plenty of room for passengers to spread out with lounge seating, bow and stern boarding ladders and an enclosed head with sink for extended cruising.
Optional features include power-assisted steering for maximum maneuverability and an integrated anchor davit for easy anchoring. For tow sports enthusiasts, the added space of the large hull has trunk storage for any gear, even an inflatable tube or foam mat. To improve accessibility, the power-actuated tower can be lowered down to keep the vessel clearance level with the deck.
The SunDeck 2600 has an overall length of 26 feet, 5 inches and an 8-foot, 6-inch beam providing plenty of capability for all on-water pursuits. Able to accommodate a maximum horsepower rating of 400hp, the 66-gallon fuel tank gives cruisers exceptional range.
