Home / Videos / Boat Videos / Alera M23 Pontoon Boat – Video Review

Pontoon boats are now one of the most popular and growing segments in the industry and what better way to start than with the brand-new Alera M23. Designed for social space, performance, and comfort, this is not your average floaty raft.
We head to Indiana, the heartland of lake boating, to test what this $25 million startup is really bringing to the table. From punchy performance with a 250hp Mercury Verado V8, to brilliant build quality and a social cockpit layout, the Alera M23 might just be the most exciting newcomer on the lake scene.
Built like a sports car. Feels like a luxury lounge. Performs like a go-kart on water. Whether you’re a die-hard boater or just curious what the fuss is about with modern pontoons, this one is worth the watch.
