Boattest.com Review
Overview
The SunTracker Party Barge 22XP3 is a pontoon boat designed primarily for recreational enjoyment and social gatherings on the water. It features a spacious layout capable of comfortably accommodating up to ten people, with thoughtful design elements aimed at enhancing accessibility, comfort, and entertainment.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
This model offers three access points: an 18-inch wide entry at the aft, a 24-inch bow entry, and a notably wide 32-inch port side access suitable for wheelchair users. The railings stand at a standard height of 26 inches, ensuring safety throughout the deck. The aft door is angled to extend deck space near the reboarding ladder, while the engine is mounted on a separate pod that also houses the fuel tank and provides two side steps for convenient and safe engine maintenance. The aft sun deck is padded for comfort and overlooks the swim platform, allowing occupants to remain engaged with water activities. A unique feature is the pop-up changing room beneath the sun pad, which opens easily to provide a private space for changing out of wet swimwear. Additional storage is available under the sun pad, where the battery is securely housed.
Seating and Entertainment Areas
Forward of the helm, the boat includes an L-shaped lounger on the port side with rotocast molded storage compartments beneath the seats, including a lockable aluminum-covered storage area that is compartmentalized for organization. The helm console offers open storage space suitable for a cooler, though securing rails would be beneficial to prevent movement underway. Entertainment is provided by a Jensen AM-FM stereo system with MP3 jack, Bluetooth connectivity, and four directional speakers, allowing guests to enjoy music while swimming or relaxing on the stern. The helm itself is a single fiberglass module with a faux burl wood gauge panel featuring three chrome-bezeled gauges. The hydraulic steering wheel is tilt-adjustable, and the engine control is mounted vertically. The captain’s seat includes flip-up armrests and a pedestal mount that allows swiveling to join conversations in the adjacent L-shaped seating. Further forward, two large couches face each other port and starboard, upholstered in UV-resistant vinyl with soft, multi-density foam cushions. A pedestal table can be positioned between these couches to create an intimate gathering space. The deck is covered with sculptured marine-grade carpet, with an optional vinyl cockpit flooring available. A color-keyed 9-foot polyester BEMEDE top with LED courtesy lights provides full sun protection.
Power and Performance
The Party Barge 22XP3 measures 22 feet 2 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches. It has an empty weight of 2,840 pounds, and with fuel, two passengers, and test power, the test weight was approximately 3,835 pounds. Powered by a 150-horsepower Mercury four-stroke engine turning a 15x15 inertia propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 38.7 miles per hour at 5,600 rpm while consuming 14.2 gallons per hour, resulting in an 86-mile range at top speed. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3,000 rpm, delivering 17.3 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 3.85 gallons per hour. At this pace, the boat could run for over eight hours covering 141 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was brisk, with the boat planing in 2.6 seconds, reaching 20 mph in 4.7 seconds, and exceeding 30 mph in 8.6 seconds. The vessel accelerates from a level attitude, and trimming the bow upward optimizes cruising economy and ride comfort. This trim adjustment also contributes to a dry ride by effectively handling waves. The boat maintains a flat attitude during slow turns and leans slightly into performance turns, responding well to helm inputs with a small, consistent turning radius. Power adjustments near docking do not cause the stern to swing excessively, and the boat settles back to a level attitude when power is reduced.
Conclusion
The SunTracker Party Barge 22XP3 is a well-designed pontoon boat that maximizes its 8-foot 6-inch beam to provide a spacious, comfortable, and versatile entertainment platform. Its accessibility features, ample storage, and thoughtful seating arrangements make it suitable for social outings on the water. The performance characteristics, including efficient cruising, quick acceleration, and stable handling, complement its recreational focus. Overall, the Party Barge 22XP3 offers a balanced combination of comfort, functionality, and enjoyable performance for casual boating enthusiasts.
