With a 14-person capacity and plenty of seating to fit that many people, the G3 SunCatcher 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 SunCatcher’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 DownScan sonar for fishing.
Perhaps most notable about this luxurious SunCatcher 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 mid-40s 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 SeaStar standard power steering helps make turning and handling a smooth operation.
The combination of power, performance and luxury accommodations makes the G3 SunCatcher Elite 326 SL the type of pontoon that you’ll find a reason to be aboard every possible chance you get.
