There are as many ways to effectively build a pontoon boat as there are ways to build a home: it’s all about the quality and strength of the foundation.  The most desirable pontoon boat foundation is thought to be a one-piece extruded cross member bolted directly to the top of U-shaped flotation logs, which sit higher in the water with less drag on the pontoon’s side, allowing for optimum performance and fuel efficiency.   Suncatcher pontoons are the tri-log model, which is considered by many to be the most superior pontoon boat foundation of all.

Suncatcher’s pontoon foundation design also maximizes the amount of available deck space on the boat.  Since their boat measurements are based on deck length and not pontoon length, so when a Suncatcher boat is a 25-footer, it has 25 feet of deck.  Other aspects of Suncatcher construction also exceed the industry standards by adding additional foam flotation to all pontoons and featuring 12-point attachment of all boat motor pods.  Attention to detail in regard to construction is the secret to the Suncatcher level of quality.

• New stainless navigation lights and docking lights are superior in appearance and reliability.

Construction and Components

• Enlarged 23″ x 25″ U-shaped pontoon logs w/ Maxi-Float foam and smooth, straight sides have higher volume than 23″ round logs for maximum flotation and superior ride. See Sun Catcher Construction link for more information.
• Wide-body design with 8′ 6″ beam provides increased stability and maximum floor space.
• All aluminum motor pod is bolted to pontoon cross-members with 12 point attachment and large diameter bolts for added strength and rigidity.
• Marine grade pressure treated plywood deck has limited lifetime warranty for years of care-free family boating.
• U-shaped logs provide a secure platform for extruded c-channel 16″ on-center through-bolted construction. Round logs rely on “M” brackets with less contact with the log to secure the deck.
• Through bolted floors to deck extrusions, .100 gauge nose cones(double plated) , and heavy duty deck extrusions on 16″ centers are just a few of the extra touches that make the Sun Catcher Pontoon line the Best Value on the Water.
• Full length performance shield gives complete under-deck protection and improves fuel-efficiency and speed.
• G3 ADVANTAGE WARRANTY adds value with an extended warranty on all external seams for the “duration of ownership” for the original retail purchaser. Full five year bow to stern warranty transferable once within 5 years of purchase, and a limited lifetime warranty on the marine grade plywood deck material direct from the manufacturer gives you the best total warranty package in the industry.
