If you are looking for a comfortable pontoon boat, and one that likes to cruise at 23 mph then the South Bay 522cr will be great for you and your family. The boat has plenty of power and a top speed of about 30 with the 175 Suzuki outboard engine. You will reach destinations like Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel in about one hour, depending on stops and dolphin sightings.
The South Bay features multiple sitting areas (its a pontoon) and a small table. The bimini top covers a good portion of the boat, but not eveyone at all times, so bring sunblock! We have many life jackets but please let us know if there will be a lot of kids so theat we can prepare for your needs. We can have a cooler with ice if you would like to check the add on box. There is a decent sound system (no blue tooth - only AUX cable). The boat is carpeted and very comfortable on the feet. Because of this we ask that you do not bring red drinks or other drinks that will easily stain.
Measuring 24 ft, the tritoon offers a coast guard aproval for 15 people, although we recommend a maximum number of 12. It is far more roomy and rides higher on the water. Then, you can make the most of the storage space under several of the seats and the rear stowage. In this rear stowage are all the lifejackets and a fold open changing curtain (also a potty in a pinch). We ahve a brand new 6 inch garmin navigaion in the dashboard that we very much encourage you to use.
We like to have the boat returned with a full tank of gas, just as you found it, but we can fill it for you for $7 per gallon. The boat is on a lift, in a canal and ready to go!
