Mercury 150 FourStroke – Only Approx. 70 Hours

One of the biggest highlights of this boat is the Mercury 150 HP FourStroke outboard with only around 70 hours.

That's exceptionally low use for a 2016 boat and makes this package especially attractive for someone who wants a pre-owned pontoon without buying something that has accumulated hundreds of hours.

The Mercury 150 FourStroke is a great match for a pontoon of this size, providing plenty of power for cruising while maintaining the quiet operation, smooth performance, and fuel efficiency people look for in a modern four-stroke outboard.

Whether you're cruising with a full group aboard, heading across the lake for dinner, or simply enjoying an evening ride, the 150 HP Mercury provides a great balance between performance and everyday usability.

Entertainment Bar Layout

The 230E entertainment configuration is what really separates this Berkshire from a standard pontoon.

Located amidships is a large entertainment center featuring a spacious wraparound countertop and four individual pedestal seats positioned around the bar. This creates a true social area where passengers can sit together, enjoy food and drinks, or simply hang out while spending the day on the water.

The bar area also incorporates multiple stainless cup holders and provides a substantial amount of usable countertop space.

Rather than filling the entire deck with conventional bench seating, Berkshire created a floorplan with several distinct gathering areas. The result is a pontoon that feels much more like an outdoor entertainment space.

For someone who regularly takes friends and family boating, this is a particularly desirable layout.

Spacious Lounge Seating

In addition to the four seats surrounding the entertainment bar, there is an impressive amount of plush lounge seating throughout the boat.

The large wraparound lounges provide plenty of room to stretch out and relax, while the open center walkway makes moving from bow to stern easy even with several passengers aboard.

The upholstery presents very nicely in the photos and gives the interior the upscale appearance expected from Berkshire.

Between the lounge seating, bar seating, and dedicated captain's chair, passengers have multiple places to relax instead of everyone being crowded into one section of the boat.

Premium Interior

Berkshire designed these pontoons to provide a more upscale experience than a basic recreational pontoon, and that is immediately noticeable when you step aboard.

Interior highlights include:

• Premium upholstered wraparound lounge seating
• Four pedestal bar seats
• Large entertainment/bar center
• Wraparound countertop
• Numerous integrated stainless cup holders
• Teak-look flooring throughout the deck
• High-back captain's helm chair
• Open center walkway
• Passenger-friendly floorplan
• Storage throughout the boat
• Stainless-steel accents
• Easy walk-through deck layout

The teak-look flooring is especially attractive and gives the entire interior a more upscale appearance while eliminating traditional pontoon carpeting.

Large Bimini Top

This Berkshire is equipped with a large bimini top to provide shade when needed during hot summer days.

The substantial bimini framework allows a large portion of the passenger area to be covered while still giving you the ability to fold the top away when you want an open-air experience.

For anyone spending full days aboard, having good shade coverage is an important feature.

Helm

The captain gets a dedicated helm area with a comfortable high-back helm chair and excellent visibility around the boat.

Instrumentation and controls are conveniently positioned at the helm, while the elevated seating position gives the driver a clear view forward.

Paired with the Mercury 150 FourStroke, the setup is equally comfortable for relaxed sunset cruising, running across the lake, or spending an entire day exploring.

Built for Entertaining

This is where the 230E really shines.

There is plenty of room to move around the deck, multiple seating areas, numerous cup holders, and the large dedicated bar gives passengers a natural place to gather.

The combination of traditional pontoon lounge seating with four individual bar seats gives this boat a much different feel from the typical pontoon layout.

It's an excellent setup for:

• Family outings
• Entertaining friends
• Sandbar days
• Sunset cruises
• Waterfront restaurants
• Swimming
• Relaxing at anchor
• Full days on the lake

Tandem-Axle Trailer Included

A tandem-axle pontoon trailer is included with the boat, adding considerable value to the overall package.

Having the trailer gives the next owner the flexibility to store the boat wherever they choose, travel to different lakes, or transport it for service and winter storage.

Condition

This Berkshire presents extremely well in the photos.

The upholstery appears exceptionally clean, the flooring shows nicely, the entertainment center presents well, and the exterior fencing and aluminum pontoons give the boat a sharp overall appearance.

With only approximately 70 hours on the Mercury 150 FourStroke, this is a very appealing package for someone who wants a premium pre-owned pontoon with extremely low recorded engine hours.
