Great boat but need permit to trailer as its oversized. I like the twin Southbay at M- W Marine site for 148,000. Premier makes a good boat but their helms are a little geriatric. Old walnut vinly trim. They look like a 70's add.

Twin SouthBay is very attractive toon. Not as many dealers in Michigan. Plus $148,000 for a toon seems crazy high to me. I love toons but not sure they are worth that much money.

Hahaha, yea, I sold my 22ft benington and need a larger toon for my growing family. The extra two feet in width seems to really make a big difference in comfort on the toon. I am close to pulling the trigger, but I am worried about buyers remorse.

beautiful. thanks for sharing. Used looks like a solid option. My last pontoon was used and it was a great value.

Jgrovedaddy, Give these guys a shout if you want to, They are great to work with, and usually have a great price. I know they deliver all over the country, and last summer they delivered a 31 X 10 boundary waters, with twin 300 Verados to the Gulf. So I would guess even with delivery charges their prices are very competitive. I am not sure about how your tax laws are but I do know we do not have a sales tax here in NH, and a lot of folks(depending on the state) get away without paying taxes in their home state when they buy in NH.

Mine was 92 out the door with trailer. I started looking at basic toons cause that's what I really needed. Then I saw this beautiful premier with a giant 350 hanging off the back and I was hooked. I mean instantly. The only time I regret it is when I'm cleaning it. It's a big damn boat.

The 10 ft beam really adds the room. Particularly where the back couch and helm pinch together. If you can tolerate the loss of trailering ease, then you will like the extra room.

We looked at other manufacturers and like several but at the time, premier was the only one that had a 10 ft wide boat as an off the shelf build.

pulled the trigger today!!!! Ordered it up and should be here around the end of May. Hopefully before Memorial Day. Ordered the Boundary Water 31 x10 wide. I really wanted to get the twin 250's but it was $27K more for the twins, then the single 300 Verado. I did not get the sky deck because of high winds on the lake. I was really concerned about docking it. Also ordered Sea Legs. Had em on the Bennington and I really liked them. Really liked being able to visit lake friends and just drop the legs at their dock and not worry about trying to tie up. If I can figure out how to get pictures on this thing, I will try to post some in a couple of months. Thank you all for your help..

Thank you. The clock is ticking. Nice thing is that it snowed a few inches today and they are calling for more later this week before it starts to warm up. I think its going to get much harder in May when the weather starts to warm up and the lake is calling our name.

Cool! You're gonna love it! I really have no complaints about my Premmie. What I did have, Premier took care of really well! Good company!
