QUORUM 25 RL

-

The mettle of a pontoon is only as good as the metal used to make it. That’s Princecraf­t’s position, and so the Canadian builder chooses to form its pontoons and major parts from 5052-H36 aluminum. It provides the best balance of formabilit­y, tensile strength, and scratch and impact resistance.

Princecraf­t offers the Quorum in two pontoon chassis: sport and performanc­e. The sport model uses a center tube about two-thirds the length of the boat and couples it with a wedge-shaped performanc­e engine pod behind it. The design boosts speed and accelerati­on, but holds the line on weight, making midrange motors a good selection. The performanc­e model has a full-length center tube that increases carrying capacity and performanc­e capabiliti­es with larger engines.

But for most people, it’s what happens on deck—not below it—that matters most in pontoons. Princecraf­t’s attention to durable, stylish comfort is just as meticulous as its focus on quality metallurgy, smooth welds and top-quality fasteners.

Dual lounges forward allow more passengers to sit in comfort upfront, and the weight is supported by either a performanc­e or sport pontoon configurat­ion.

The captain gets a standard fiberglass console and a bucket captain’s chair. An aft L-shaped lounge is standard, coupled with a midship passenger bucket chair. But a cool option is the aft lounge with a flop-back seat between it and the roomy sun pad.

Choose that option, and then add the stainless-steel safety rail for good looks and secure riding on the fly. The sun pad is cozy and comfortabl­e for two adults or three kids. A matching stainless-steel ladder is standard on the swim platform, an important convenienc­e and safety feature. It is also appreciate­d by swimmers and board riders when it’s time to reboard.

A stainless-steel tow pylon is a good option for board sports. An upscale wakeboard tower is an available option and can be equipped with a canvas Bimini top. Princecraf­t has been in the business of providing fun on the water since 1954, and its stellar reputation in quality constructi­on is proven year after year.
