Godfrey Sweetwater 2286 QS

Drawing on six decades of pontoon-building expertise, Godfrey offers a versatile lineup of boats designed to meet the needs of everyone from casual cruisers to avid watersports enthusiasts.

“Godfrey’s Sweetwater lineup blends quality, comfort and affordability with elevated styling,” says Lori Szczypiorski, Godfrey’s director of product & marketing. “Versatile seating configurations allow passengers to face forward while underway, then rotate toward the center-positioned deck table while the boat is at anchor for dining, socializing or playing games in comfort. Color options offer optimal customizability, while premium touches, such as integrated cupholders and optional cool-touch upholstery, enhance the on-the-water experience.”

The Sweetwater 2286 Quad Social (QS) has a deck layout featuring four swivel chairs, a pair of bow lounges and two aft seats, one in each corner. A wide-open rear deck allows passengers to get in and out of the water easily by means of a starboard boarding ladder. The QS layout was initially exclusive to the Sweetwater Series, but Godfrey later expanded the concept by introducing the QSL (Quad Social Lounge) on Monaco models. Soon, AquaPatio will also feature the QUL (Quad U-Lounge), giving boaters the best of both worlds with layouts designed for both socializing and relaxing.

“Select Sweetwater models feature Fastback Rails, offering a sleek, slanted finish for a sophisticated, sporty look,” adds Szczypiorski.

Optional equipment includes a wide variety of color schemes, tube packages, lifting strakes, a windlass and anchor with quick release, and many others you can discuss with your local dealer. The boat can be powered by a choice of Honda, Mercury, Suzuki or Yamaha engines.
