We Say: The Premier 270 S-Series is a fast, agile pontoon with a cool profile. Premier enhances this ‘toon’s sleek look with retro rectangular windshields over both consoles. That’s right, the 270 S-Series is a dual console. The windshields offer ample wind protection for the captain and co-pilot, as well as the crew lounging on the plush furniture in the main cockpit. The forward raked sport arch includes a Bimini to provide more protection.

With a Mercury Racing 400R outboard, the boat takes off like a rocket. In our efforts to record time to plane — hard enough to do on any pontoon — we had to settle for declaring it instantaneous. It took a mere five seconds to hit 30 mph en route to a 48.7 mph top speed. But the real beauty provided by Premier’s signature PTX package is agility. The triple-tube configuration includes strakes on the outer tubes and an aft pad on the center tube that generates lift. The PTX package gives the 270 S-Series V-hull-like handling, with inboard lean in hard-over turns at speed.
The cockpit has plenty of creature comforts, including plush couches with rear-facing backrests behind the helm seats so passengers can kick back and watch the wake or serve as spotters for watersports. There’s plenty of seating in the bow too.
