First look at the Grand G980
We take a first look at the Grand G980 at SIBS 26.
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.
