What owners & reviewers say

Based on 23 reviews from across the web

Our owners describe the R20CLZ as a comfortable, stable pontoon for family cruising and light towing. The wide beam for a 20-foot boat comes up often, since it gives room to move around that people usually expect on a larger pontoon. Storage gets good marks too, with enclosed compartments under most bench seats.

On the water, the RPT (rapid planing tube) design draws mostly favorable feedback for quicker planing, responsive handling and fuel efficiency compared with round tubes. Owners who tow kids on tubes and skis say it does the job, though pulling an adult skier depends on the engine. Seat comfort and upholstery are also regular positives, and the helm layout is straightforward.

Opinions vary a little when the R20CLZ is compared with premium competitors. A few owners find it not quite as stiff or quiet through chop, and aggressive cornering feels more modest. For relaxed lake use, our owners are generally happy with it.
