The NMMA-certified Carolina Skiff Fun Chaser 2100 Cruiser delivers a unique experience to those seeking the best attributes of a pontoon and those of a fiberglass boat. Smooth and stable, the Fun Chaser 2100 Cruiser rides a twin-sponson hull design rendered in molded fiberglass. We think it’s more akin to a catamaran than a pontoon, as the hulls are asymmetric and a catlike wedge is located forward to provide lift and prevent swells from slamming the underside of the deck spanning the twin hulls. Both attributes are utilized to deliver a safe, smooth fuel-efficient ride. As such, this boat has great appeal to coastal boaters.
Power choices range between 115 and 150 hp, though the Fun Chaser 2100 Cruiser is rated for a maximum of 175 hp outboard.
Of course, performance and power are only part of what makes up a good boat. The Fun Chaser 2100 also sports a layout that provides the versatility needed to pursue a variety of boating activities. Three boarding gates — one of which is wide enough for a wheelchair — combined with the stainless-steel swim ladder on the aft swim platform and the functional bow deck, provide great access to the water, the beach, the dock or wherever you might cruise. There’s luxurious seating and a removable windshield, and the captain’s chair at the helm provides comfortable command. The standard propane-fired grill, Bimini top and marine-grade Bluetooth stereo are just some of the many standard amenities.
We’d expect a lot from one of the largest boatbuilders in the world, and the Carolina Skiff Fun Chaser 2100 Cruiser is designed and equipped to deliver.
