Verdict
A practical early-2010s pontoon with triple-tube stability and space for day cruising. It suits casual family use more than high-speed performance, and value depends heavily on engine, condition, and maintenance history.
Pros
- +Triple-tube layout improves stability over standard two-tube versions
- +22 ft class size is manageable for trailering and docking
- +Rated around 12 people on comparable Premier Sunsation 200 triple-tube setups
- +Rear-entry pontoon layout suits relaxed day boating
Cons
- −Oldest examples are now well into used-boat age
- −Performance depends strongly on engine choice and tube package
- −Limited overnight livability with no cabin
- −Exact factory specs vary by trim and dealer configuration
The Premier 200 Sunsation LTD RE Triple Tube is a pontoon-focused day boat built around family use, casual cruising, and watersports. The triple-tube configuration should give it a firmer, more confident feel than a standard twin-log pontoon, while the 22-foot length keeps it compact enough for typical marina use and towing.
On the water, this model is best understood as a stable, forgiving platform rather than a performance pontoon. Triple tubes generally improve lift, tracking, and cornering, but acceleration and top-end speed still depend heavily on the installed outboard and load. With 12 guests aboard, handling will remain usable for slow to moderate cruising, though it will feel more responsive when lightly loaded.
Comfort is good for a daytime social boat, especially in the rear-entry layout, but it is not a cabin cruiser and offers no real overnight livability. Seating capacity is the main strength here, making it suitable for groups that want open-deck lounging and easy movement around the boat.
Value is reasonable on the used market if the boat has been maintained carefully and the engine is in sound condition. Buyers should inspect tube integrity, deck wear, upholstery, steering feel, and motor hours carefully, because condition matters more than model-year alone on a 2011 pontoon.
