SunChaser\u2019s Calais sports \u00adfencing made of welded, smooth-panel aluminum, lending the exterior a seamless appearance. Automotive paint and clear coat heighten the level of finish. \u00adBelowdecks, painted black tubes are standard, not an upgrade. Within, luxurious soft-touch vinyl exhibits rich shades, like mocha and platinum. Stainless-steel accents abound, from elegant boarding gates to our test boat\u2019s curvaceous ski tow bar. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Those premium looks foreshadow its premium performance. The Calais rides SunChaser\u2019s X-Treme PR25 Performance Package, a combination of three 25-inch pontoons with a full complement of extruded lifting strakes, an aluminum under\u00adskin to lessen drag, and a fuel tank integrated into the center tube. Paired with a Mercury Verado V-10 350, it rode solid in windblown chop, handled nimbly, and hit zero to 30 mph in 4.6 seconds en route to a top speed of 46 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether cruising at speed or coming into a crowded dock area, the captain will appreciate the added visibility provided by a 3-inch elevated helm platform. The dash itself is nicely contoured, with multiple billet accents, a standard Simrad GO7 multifunction display and digital C-Zone switching. Opposite, the port console enjoys similar elevation and adds a glove box under an acrylic lid. High-speed USB\/USB-C chargers are close at hand. Both consoles also feature powder-coated, black-framed, smoked-glass windshields above, door-accessed storage below, and standard high-back helm seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forward, twin lounges stretch to 5\u00a0feet, 8 inches in length. Aft, an L-shaped \u00adswingback lounge backs up to a generous sun pad. Pivot the seatback forward to change the focus to the aft platform. Option rear-facing speakers, a subwoofer or a LilliPad ladder. Raise the sun pad to reveal storage, battery access and a pop-up changing room. A stainless-steel rail allows use of the lounge while underway. The generous size of the aft platform also makes it a great spot to hang out when coving or gearing up for watersports.<\/p>\n

The package also includes SeaStar hydraulic steering, heavy-duty hat-channel construction and a deck-mount ski tow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
