Description
The 2016 G3 SunCatcher V22RC is the pontoon you've been waiting for — a versatile, stylish cruiser ready to make every day on the water a memorable one. Stretching 22 feet with a generous 102-inch beam, this blue beauty offers the kind of deck space and stability that keeps the whole crew comfortable whether you're cruising a calm cove, entertaining at anchor, or enjoying a sunset ride across the lake. Based right here in Knoxville, it's perfectly suited for the stunning lakes and waterways of East Tennessee.
Under the stern sits a Yamaha F115 four-stroke outboard — a legendary engine known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and smooth, quiet operation. With 115 horsepower on tap, the SunCatcher V22RC delivers responsive performance that's more than capable of pulling tubers and skiers while still offering the relaxed cruising experience pontoon lovers expect. Yamaha's reputation for longevity means you're getting an engine that's built to go the distance.
At $18,999, this used G3 SunCatcher V22RC represents outstanding value for a pontoon of this size, power, and pedigree. G3 is widely respected for building pontoons with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful layouts, and the V22RC model is no exception. Whether you're a first-time pontoon buyer or upgrading to a larger platform, this boat checks every box.

Specifications
What owners & reviewers say
Based on 6 reviews from across the web
The G3 SunCatcher draws consistent praise from our owners as a well-built, family-friendly pontoon. The layout is thoughtfully designed for a full day on the water, handling everything from casual cruising to towing tubes and skiers without complaint. Owners who've spent real time aboard typically say they'd buy one again without hesitation.
Built quality comes up often in a positive way. G3 uses an aluminum hull construction, and the brand's Yamaha ownership shows in how well the boat and engine work together as a package. The trailer also earns good marks from owners, which is a detail that matters more than people expect.
On safety, the SunCatcher meets or exceeds NMMA certification standards, with input from the Coast Guard and the American Boat and Yacht Club. A few owners note minor imperfections, the kind you'd consider normal for any boat over time, but nothing that has dampened overall satisfaction.
