Research 2020 - Sun Tracker - Party Barge 22 RF XP3

~Change your view of summer fun with the PARTY BARGE 22 RF XP3!
With three 26" logs with lifting strakes and factory-installed underpinning, this pontoon boat can handle up to 200 horsepower—extra power for cruising and pulling a tuber! That rear-facing lounge provides the perfect place for a couple of spotters to enjoy the action.
For those slower moments, the other lounges throughout invite all-day lounging. The STOW MORE seat storage system keeps everyone's gear conveniently close, yet out of the way. And the Bluetooth stereo with new Bazooka® sound bar provide a soundtrack to all the fun.
