5 reviews from owner forums, marine magazines and boating sites
Reviewers and owners describe the Alera M-series as a more upscale take on the pontoon. One reviewer called it "too nice to be a pontoon boat." Boating Magazine said it presented extremely well by objective and subjective measures, particularly for a builder new to the pontoon market.
Performance and handling get the most attention. With Mercury Verado power, testers found acceleration quick and top-end speed strong. Steering was described as tight and light, with sharp response for a boat close to 28 feet. Fuel economy was rated good for the amount of power.
The Spectre Tower is the feature mentioned most. It is an aluminum arch with power-actuated folding, a one-touch Bimini, and courtesy lighting. Reviewers also pointed to the large docking grab handles and the option to mount speakers on the arch. Buyers also describe an easy purchase and prompt delivery.

Boating Magazine noted the big Mercury uses fuel at speed but rated the overall economy as good for the power. As with any boat, how hard you run it affects your range.
It is an aluminum arch with power-actuated folding, an integrated one-touch Bimini, and courtesy lighting. The arch can mount speakers, and our boat comes with tower speakers.
