The best of both worlds.
by Ken Kreisler
The 250 SLS Continental from Crest Pontoon easily bridges the gap between luxury cruising and family fun.
Since 1957, when the first Crest Pontoon was built, the company has picked up a few ideas about design, innovation, construction and, most importantly, supplying exactly what owners want. One look will have you rethinking what a pontoon boat is all about.
“For Crest, it all begins with building a safe and secure vessel,” says Colony Marine’s Paul Vanderdonck. “You always have a choice… but Crest provides the structural superiority for you and your family, friends and guests.”
With its sporty and sleek design, complete with a walk-through windshield — as in full, wraparound, port to starboard windshield — twin lounge seats forward, and a cockpit area featuring ample seating aft, the 250 SLS is designed for great family fun. Also aft is a fold-down sunpad. Should the sun be too much during your day out, deploy the Bimini top for shade. A full aft enclosure comes standard, which is great for any weather the Great Lakes sends your way.
“Innovation is a hallmark of the brand, and Crest has brought some of the industry’s most exciting advances to its product line and especially to the Continental line,” Vanderdonck says. “If you look at all the top trends in the market, Crest is right up there.”
The Continental is available in three models with three different price points; the 250 SLS and 270 NX-L have single outboard power, while the 270 NX-SLS is equipped with a pair of outboard engines.
Whichever you choose, Crest makes sure it’s outfitted with exceptional standard features. Options and upgrades include upholstery color, a power slider seat, choice of flooring, performance packages, underdeck lighting, a premium audio system and a ski tow bar. With that kind of selection, your decision to make a Crest Continental yours is as easy as getting to your dealer and getting her off the dock.
