Have it your way.

Few types of boats can match a pontoon when it comes to both versatility and value.
And among pontoons, the Harris Solstice 230 stands out in a crowded market.
The Solstice 230 is actually four boats in one since it offers four basic floorplans, each with their own unique advantages. The Cruise model features a bow walk-through gate, aft swim-deck access to starboard, two lavish bow lounges and an L-shaped aft lounge.
The CW model offers a center walk-through providing access to the bow and stern decks, with bow and stern seating that transforms into spacious U-shaped lounges with optional jump seats. For families that enjoy watersports, the DL model replaces the base stern seating with dual rear-facing lounges. Or choose the SL model, which comes with a single rear-facing lounge with massive under-seat storage.
Regardless of which layout you select, all Solstice 230 models come with a standard 10-foot Bimini top complete with a quick-release frame to provide an escape from the summer sun. Or choose the available powered electric Bimini for the ultimate convenience.
Additional standard features on all Solstice 230 floorplans include fence-mounted docking lights, a lockable glovebox, a Lowrance Hook2 4x fishfinder, a removable windscreen, a removable woodgrain table with molded-in drink holders, a soft-sided cooler, a four-step flip-down ladder on the swim platform, tilt steering and Seagrass flooring.
The driver gets truly spoiled with a deluxe captain’s seat and a neatly designed helm with multifunction digital/analog gauges. There’s also a premium JL stereo with six Fusion speakers.
Because every buyer likes to personalize their boat to some degree, Harris offers an extensive options list with goodies like a power-folding EVO 2.0 wake tower, a variety of electronics upgrades and a wide range of performance tube packages.
