Research 2020 - Sun Tracker - Party Barge 24 XP3

~True to its name, the PARTY BARGE 24 XP3 packs all the features needed for a crew of 12 (the whole family? a boatload of friends? a mix of both? your choice!) to play away the perfect day on the water.
Of course, that includes four spacious and comfortable lounges, dual bucket seats for the driver and co-captain and storage galore throughout (even in the floor!). It also means you get a QUICKLIFT Bimini top and new Bazooka sound system.
Want to take this party up a notch? The XP3 performance package includes three 26" pontoon logs with lifting strakes. That, combined with the underpinning, hydraulic steering and 250-horsepower rating means you can add in an optional ski tow pylon (the receptacle is already there!) and tie on a tube for even faster fun.
