2026 Bayliner D20

With a U.S. MSRP of $36,225, the 2026 Bayliner D20 is a 19-foot 6-inch deck boat designed to carry up to 10 passengers or up to 1,653 lb.

In addition, the Bayliner offers a maximum output of 150 horsepower. This power is put to good use thanks to the V-hull common to deck boats, shaped to deliver more speed than traditional pontoon boats.

Standard equipment includes a range of technologies to make your time on board as enjoyable as possible, such as:

  • A waterproof 4-speaker 120-watt sound system, Bluetooth compatible
  • A 12-V power outlet for your accessories
  • A captain's seat with 180-degree swivel
  • And much more!

Finally, it weighs 3,396 lb. with the standard engine, which means it only requires a midsize SUV for towing.

2026 Bentley Legacy 18 feet

Available from $29,946 U.S. MSRP, the Legacy is one of the best 2026 pontoon boats and stands out for its customization potential. It is offered with 2 or 3 tubes and in lengths ranging from 20 feet 8 inches up to 24 feet 8 inches.

It features several standard equipment, including:

  • A JBL JAM3000 sound system
  • A wood-grain table
  • A rear aluminum ladder
  • And much more to discover!

On the base model, the Legacy 200 provides an engine rated up to 115 horsepower, while larger versions, such as the Legacy 243, allow up to 300 horsepower.

Weight varies between 1,900 and 2,740 lb., which means the lighter models can be towed with a compact SUV, for example.

2024 Regal LS4

A premium deck boat, the 2026 LS4 measures 24 feet 5 inches and can easily accommodate up to 13 passengers.

Powered by a Volvo V8 rated at 350 horsepower, it is among the best 2026 pontoon boats when it comes to raw power.

It offers a wide array of upscale equipment and accessories, including:

  • A hand-stitched steering wheel
  • A tinted, curved, tempered-glass windshield
  • A double captain's seat
  • A 12 V outlet for your accessories
  • And more

However, all this luxury comes with a weight of 4,550 lb., which calls for a larger vehicle for towing.

If you are looking to save a bit on all this luxury, the 2024 Regal LS4 is very similar to the 2026 model while offering a lower price, with a U.S. MSRP of $119,480.

The Regal LS4 is, without a doubt, the perfect pontoon boat to fully enjoy the most beautiful lakes for boating in Quebec.
