Pontoons are boatings equivalent of a full-sized family den on the water. With room for the whole family and all their gear, even the family dog, pontoons offer plenty of room, comfort and space.
Pontoons typically feature a large, open deck design that rests solidly on twin aluminum logs. This twin-log design makes pontoons very stable and less susceptible to rocking in choppy water. For even more stability and a higher top speed, some models, such as G3 Boats Sun Catcher LX3 22 F/C fish and cruise, offer three logs for even greater comfort.
The 22-foot-long LX3 22 F/C floats atop three U-shaped .100-gauge 23″x25″ jumbo logs that feature smooth straight sides and more interior volume than conventional 24″ round logs. All that interior volume is filled with Maxi-Float foam to increase flotation and safety and to reduce noise. In addition, the logs feature rugged double-plate nose cones and special .125-gauge wings to direct spray down and a dry ride.
Riding on top of all that stability is a 102″-wide deck where the real fun begins. Whether your choice of on-the-water fun involves spending the day with fishing rod in hand, skis strapped to feet or simply cruising with friends, the choice is easy.
For anglers, the LX3 22 F/C features four fishing stations two in the bow and two at the stern. Each station offers a comfortable upholstered fishing chair on a pedestal. Aerated livewells fore and aft help keep fish alive and healthy. Trolling motor wiring and plug make sneaking up on those big ones easier while the lockable rod storage box keeps rods up to 8-feet and tackle boxes hidden from view.
Watersports fans will appreciate that the boat is rated for up to a 175 hp Yamaha outboard plenty of power is available to pull skiers.
Leisurely cruises around your favorite lake with friends and family are easy with the roomy wraparound party-style lounge seating. Dry storage is found under the lounge seating to keep items out of the sun and water. Set out some food or play cards on the dinette table. Featuring three cupholders, the table can be placed in the front or rear seating areas. A bimini top provides shade or protection from surprise showers. Sun worshippers can lounge on the double-wide tanning deck, which folds out of the way when not in use. A pop-up privacy enclosure offers privacy for changing clothes or using a portable head.
The fiberglass-reinforced deluxe console features full instrumentation and a Sony Marine AM/FM/CD stereo with four speakers. A 34-quart cooler fits inside the console base where hinged door access prevents the cooler from sliding into the walkway. The 30-gallon built-in fuel tank provides hours of cruising without stopping at the fuel dock.
Buyers of a G3 boat, motor and trailer package also receive the G3 Advantage Package that includes free resident freshwater fishing licenses for the buyer for three years.
