Press Room

Pass out the cigars: there's a new member in the SUN TRACKER^® Signature Series family of pontoon boats. The PARTY BARGE^® 20 is one of the roomiest boats in its class and has a layout that can be changed at the whim of the captain and crew- from a comfortable fishing craft to a swimming and water-sports platform to a luxury cruiser ready to take in an idyllic sunset on a favorite body of water. Two removable, bow-mounted fishing chairs, each equipped with pinchless hinges, make it easy to switch from fishing to swimming, or to clear the deck for a party or picnic.

It's 24-inch diameter, multi-chambered logs provide sturdy, balanced flotation to support a pressure-treated, ¾-inch, seven-ply deck.

An all-welded, extended motor pod with a built-in 30-gallon fuel tank gives more room on deck and more cruising time and distance between fuel stops, no matter what size outboard hangs on the rear of this party platform.

Wheelchair-accessible, inward-opening gates have dual latches. Sturdy, anodized rails and an elevated fence surround the deck for passenger safety. The rear entry leading to the aft sun deck also has a boarding ladder that latches into place when not in use.

This new boat has a double-wide helm seat and an L-shaped aft couch seating arrangement- features usually only found on larger pontoon boats. The 20-footer offers ample seating port and starboard at the bow. All the furniture is liberally padded with high-density foam and upholstered in sun- and stain-resistant vinyl that is a full 12 mils thick.

Storage compartments are found beneath the seats, inside the roto-molded furniture bases.

An entertainment center with an AM/FM tuner and CD player is standard on the PARTY BARGE 20 and a generously proportioned bimini top provides shade for passengers who want a break from the sun.

This boat is available with a Mercury^® 50 ELPT EFI four-stroke that retails for $13,995 (plus dealer prep and destination charges). For more information, visit www.suntrackerboats.com, or call 888-487-2253.
