SunCatcher Elite 326 SL

-

With a 14-person capacity and plenty of seating to fit that many people, the G3 Sun Catcher Elite 326 SL is a pontoon boat that delivers on style, performanc­e and entertainm­ent. Its plush furniture is designed to hold plenty of gear in the dry-as-a-bone roto-molded seat bases underneath. In the bow area, the opposing couches create a fantastic conversati­on pit, especially when you add in the pedestal table. If two crewmember­s would rather stretch out and catch some rays and/or z’s, both couches feature forward-facing backrests. The portside couch features a pullout privacy curtain. The creature comforts extend to the middle of the boat, where the captain and the copilot can enjoy the high-back swiveling chairs with flip-up armrests. The Sun Catcher’s sporty helm console features a standard Simrad G07 touchscree­n navigation unit. It’s pre-loaded with maps and charts of inland lakes and coastal waters, and also features Down Scan sonar for fishing.

Perhaps most notable about this luxurious Sun Catcher is its stern lounge, where the designatio­n “SL” comes from. The versatile seating arrangemen­t features an easily adjustable backrest that can be angled to face forward or aft, or even fully reclined to create a plush sun lounge. It’s a great spot to sit and relax, prep for watersport­s, or work on your summer tan.

This pontoon is not just a mere party platform. When powered with a Yamaha V Max 250 SHO outboard, it is capable of attaining speeds in the mid40s while burning just under 2 mpg. The triple-tube configurat­ion features two 23-inch-diameter outer logs and one 25-inch-diameter center tube to help it lean into turns and achieve V-hull-like turning characteri­stics. The Sea Star standard power steering helps make turning and handling a smooth operation.

The combinatio­n of power, performanc­e and luxury accommodat­ions makes the G3 Sun Catcher Elite 326 SL the type of pontoon that you’ll find a reason to be aboard every possible chance you get.
