PRINCECRAFT REDEFINES LUXURY AND PERFORMANCE WITH MID-RANGE PONTOON – VANTAGE 21
Designed for a day of fun on the water, the 2009 Vantage 21 is redefining the standard for luxury and performance in mid-range pontoons. The redesigned Vantage boasts features usually associated with high-end vessels, thereby making it Princecraft’s most popular mid-range pontoon. Updates found on the new Vantage 21 include additional armrests, new more customized graphics and color schemes, and a new fiberglass helm with a cooler that can be converted into a galley.

“We at Princecraft believe that people of all budgets deserve something special in their pontoon,” Donald Dubois, president – general manager said. “We have strived to provide unparalleled luxury and performance not only with the Vantage 21, but with our entire line of Vantage pontoons.”
All of Princecraft’s mid-range pontoon boats are powered, in general, by a much cleaner engine than other boats in its class. In fact, most pontoon manufacturers design and balance their boats based on one engine style – either Four-Stroke or Two-Stroke outboards – even if both options are offered. As a result, a new boat may end up being unbalanced and/or lag in performance. Like its sister models, the Vantage 21 is specifically weighted balanced and designed to perform with a Mercury Four-Stroke engine; the kind of engine that is required for a mid-range boat, like the 21, to achieve optimum boating performance. Engineers have also provided a wide and stable foundation for the engine, by resting it on dual 25-inch diameter pontoon logs.
The Vantage 21 is hand-crafted from marine grade 5052-H36 aluminum alloy and offers a smooth ride along with durable construction. Standard on the 21 is a full-width swim platform and starboard boarding ladder. Stowage is located under all lounges to keep gear convenient, safe, organized and out of the way. The plush, redesigned heavyweight upholstery is complemented by 24-ounce mocha “Magnitude” pattern carpeting. And, like all Vantage Series models, the redesigned 21 offers a kidney-shaped, sternmounted pedestal snack table with drink holders; perfect for a meal or a card game. In addition, sun seekers will love the padded rear sundeck.
At the helm, boating enthusiasts will appreciate the added flare of luxury with features like a new sleek fiberglass console with a stately wood-grain dash panel complete with fully-lit instrumentation, drink holders and a catch-all tray. Also complementing the helm area is a plush bucket seat on a slide-andswivel mount, perfect for any captain that likes riding in luxury. In the galley, a conversion option for the Vantage 21 includes a faucet with draining sink and a portable fresh water tank.
Exclusive to pontoon manufacturers, Princecraft stands alone in offering a full line of covers. The full and half-camper enclosures keep the boater prepared for any weather condition, and significantly extend the boating season. Mooring covers lock out moisture to keep the pontoon – and everything stowed inside – dry. Princecraft is also the only pontoon manufacturer to factory install cover snaps, using the same precise specifications to position the fasteners, ensuring a custom fit. Stainless steel bimini quickrelease top latches and traveling struts are available on the entire Vantage line, and boaters have the choice of color-matched or beige canvas and trailer covers, and beige mooring covers. The heavy-duty trailer covers look stylish and keep the pontoon protected from the elements for years of family enjoyment. A double bimini which covers the entire boat, is also available for those wanting their 21 to be partially or completely covered.
For added luxury, the Vantage 21 has an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod controls and is Sirius Satellite Radio compatible. The music flows from four, waterproof 6 ½-inch diameter speakers, providing astounding acoustics. Upgrade radios, which are MP3, iPod and SAT Radio compatible, are available.
The aesthetics of the Vantage 21 is heightened with an attractive new graphic package and five new color schemes, including: black, teal, royal blue, royal blue and yellow, Apache red.
Believing that every pontoon should offer something special, Princecraft’s redesigned Vantage 21 pontoon offers class-leading luxury and performance in mid-range vessels. To find out more about the 2009 Vantage 21, contact a local Princecraft dealer.
