The watersport market has become notably competitive in recent years, prompting maritime manufacturers to deliver increasingly impressive designs in order to stay ahead of the curve. Of these designs, a particular standout is the 2022 SunCatcher Pontoon Select Series Select 18F. This boat, coming from the reputable SunCatcher line, brings an opulent feel to the traditional pontoon setup.
This SunCatcher isn't just about cosseting luxury, either; it proves to be highly practical on all fronts. The boat’s roto-molded furniture features a unique rain drain channel under the cushions, ensuring dry storage even in the most severe of squalls. An onboard aerated livewell caters to keen anglers, while a stern fishing center completes with additional rod holders offers a comprehensive setup for fishing enthusiasts.
But it’s not all about fishing. The SunCatcher 18F is also pre-wired for a 12-volt trolling motor and features a four-step curved boarding ladder for ease of accessibility. The boat's luxurious wide body design measuring 8’6” further reinforces the spaciousness of the vessel.
This Pontoon offers a high degree of durability, thanks to features like two jumbo 2 x 2 logs packed with closed-cell flotation foam, and nosecones developed from .125 gauge material. The heavy-duty deck extrusions, placed 16" on center, and floors bolted to the deck, contribute to its robust build.
When it comes to technology, SunCatcher does not skimp in the least. The boat's console comes with a speedometer, tachometer, trim, and fuel gauge. Furthermore, a premium Jensen receiver that can connect to Bluetooth, iPod, and MP3 players enhances the entertainment factor. The 12-volt-accessory outlet ensures that you can charge your devices on the go.
The concoction of impressive features doesn’t stop there. The Pontoon 18F also flaunts an anodized deck with rails and trim, floor-level courtesy lights, navigation lights, high-density foam "slim" pedestal table, contoured Bimini top with boot, and a host of other attractions.
All said, the SunCatcher Select Series Select 18F is a thoroughly impressive machine, offering a perfect blend of fishing capabilities, entertainment features, and seating space. While its dry weight stands at 1,740 lbs, its package weight is a hefty 2,660 lbs. Despite its size, however, it supports up to 8 persons and has a fuel capacity of 27 gallons, thereby lending itself well to longer expeditions.
In conclusion, whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a relative novice, the 2022 SunCatcher Pontoon Select Series Select 18F offers a comfortable, versatile and exciting nautical experience. Its invoice price of $22,532 is slightly sizzling, but when you consider the plethora of luxury and functional features you are getting, it's definitely worth every penny.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
