Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 DLX: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Party Barge 22 DLX is a thoughtfully redesigned pontoon boat measuring 24 feet 2 inches in length, an extension of 2 feet over previous models. This increase in size allows for a reconfigured floor plan that comfortably accommodates up to 11 passengers. Designed for leisure and versatility, the boat offers ample space for relaxation and storage, making it well-suited for extended outings on the water.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The stern area of the Party Barge 22 DLX features an expansive aft deck measuring 8 feet wide and 20 inches fore and aft, bordered by a 26-inch tall rail and equipped with a robust boarding ladder on the starboard side. The aft gate opens inward with a 14-inch wide opening matching the rail height. Seating arrangements include a small starboard lounge and a prized aft-facing port lounge that doubles as an ideal sun pad, measuring 3 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 4 inches. The cushions on these lounges lift on gas struts or hinges to reveal storage compartments and a convenient changing curtain frame with a fold-out seat beneath the port lounge cushion. Moving forward, the port side hosts an L-shaped lounge with a locking dry storage compartment beneath its hinged cushion. The port boarding gate is wheelchair accessible, opening 28 inches wide and securing in place. The bow area offers a shorter port lounge and a full-length starboard lounge, with dedicated storage for a wastebasket and two lockers beneath the starboard cushions. A versatile table can be mounted at the bow or adjacent to the midship port lounge. Additional exterior features include a wide forward platform, low-profile LED navigation lights to minimize tripping hazards, and a 9-foot color-matched bimini top with a quick-lift frame, LED courtesy lights, and vibration-reducing nylon straps. The optional mooring cover installs on a rail-lock track beneath the rail, providing protection and maintaining the boat’s appearance.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is equipped with analog gauges, a small shelf, accessory switches, a 12-volt power outlet, horn button, and two cup holders. A tall windscreen offers effective protection, while a cell phone holder and a stereo system with Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary ports enhance convenience. The helm seat provides good lumbar and back support, swivels, and adjusts fore and aft. An armrest is positioned for comfortable throttle operation, complemented by a soft-touch sport steering wheel and an angled, non-skid footrest. Storage space beneath the console accommodates a 32-quart cooler, a map or chart pocket, and a secured fire extinguisher compartment.
Construction and Materials
The deck is surfaced with a new easy-clean vinyl covering a 7-ply, 3/4-inch pressure-treated marine plywood base that carries a limited lifetime warranty. Upholstery has been upgraded to 26-ounce fabric with enhanced UV resistance, and seating incorporates foam of varying densities to optimize rider comfort. The pontoons have been lengthened to improve buoyancy and ride quality; they measure 24 inches in diameter and feature multiple chambers for safety and stability.
Power and Performance
Powered by a 150-horsepower Mercury 150 ELPT 4-stroke outboard engine with a 1.92:1 gear reduction, the Party Barge 22 DLX utilizes a 16-by-11-inch inertia three-blade stainless steel propeller. During testing, with an estimated weight of 2,988 pounds including 32 gallons of fuel and equipment, the boat achieved a top speed of 36.1 mph at 5,800 rpm. The optimal cruising speed was 15.6 mph at 3,000 rpm, consuming 3.3 gallons per hour and yielding a fuel efficiency of 4.8 miles per gallon. This translates to a cruising range of approximately 138 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration tests showed the boat reaching 20 mph in 4.5 seconds and 30 mph in 9.4 seconds. The steering system features a 4-to-2 ratio, offering easy turning and responsive helm control. Maneuverability is notable for a twin pontoon design, with minimal outboard lean entering turns and comfortable leaning through maneuvers. Spray rails effectively keep the deck dry when crossing wakes, and the hull exhibits no noticeable flex or pounding in tested conditions. A tandem axle trailer is available as an option, with choices for brakes on one or both axles.
Conclusion
The SunTracker Party Barge 22 DLX presents a well-executed balance of spaciousness, comfort, and performance in the pontoon boat category. Its extended length and reconfigured layout enhance passenger capacity and usability, while thoughtful design elements such as ample storage, accessible boarding gates, and quality materials contribute to a refined boating experience. Powered by a reliable 150-horsepower engine, the boat delivers solid speed, efficient cruising, and responsive handling, making it a versatile choice for recreational boating.
