Molded-in colors offer a fashionable matte appearance, accented on the exterior by a bold, contrasting stripe.

Step in via a bow or stern gate and seating essentially wraps the perimeter, interrupted only by the roto-molded helm console and high-back helm seat. All upholstery is soft, two-tone vinyl. Access storage is below and easier to reach thanks to the recessed seat bases. Movable backrests can also be positioned to add \u00adforward- or rear-facing support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Find a trio of chrome-ringed combination analog-digital gauges at the helm, along with a vertical phone holder and wireless charger, a small array of rocker switches, and a pair of secure-feeling cubbies to stash your stuff. An abundance of cup holders are positioned in the inwale cutout throughout. Rather than a traditional sound system, the Aura features two JBL Flip 6 speakers. Pair them together to enjoy surprisingly strong sound output and clarity. Unstrap either or both to carry the party to the beach or dock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Aura Quad Lounge helm\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-2.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">There\u2019s a trio of chrome-ringed combination analog-digital gauges at the helm.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p>While radical changes are found above deck, belowdecks is the trusted chassis design and durable construction parent company Avalon and Tahoe are known for. Twin 25-inch-diameter pontoons \u00adcarry the load. Atop a pair of full risers, a 3-inch rub rail with a vinyl insert wraps the deck perimeter. Deck corners feature rounded, aluminum caps for impact protection. Stainless-steel pull-up cleats and U-bolts are arrayed to each side fore and\u00a0aft.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our test boat was optioned to include Aura\u2019s triple-tube Sport Performance Package. Paired with a Suzuki 150, the Aura topped out at 41 mph and displayed a confident ride in a wind-driven chop. SeaStar hydraulic steering added a \u00adnimble, sure-footed feel in the corners.<\/p>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Aura Quad Lounge bow seating\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-3.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Movable backrests can be positioned to add forward- or rear-facing support.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Points<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Express yourself with a choice of four exterior-interior color combos.<\/li>\n<li>Premium package adds an Erie steering wheel, depth finder, reclining high-back helm seat and premium vinyl wall trim.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>JBL Flip 6 speakers provide\u00a0 innovative audio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-specs.jpg?resize=800%2C513&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Aura Quad Lounge performance data\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-specs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-specs-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BTGBBG25-PON-Aura-21-Quad-Lounge-specs-768x492.jpg 768w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Aura Quad Lounge Certified Test Results<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Boating Magazine<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Tested<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>Engine: <\/strong>Suzuki 150<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Drive\/Prop: <\/strong>Outboard\/Suzuki Watergrip 15 1\/4\u2033 x 19\u2033 3-blade stainless steel<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Gear Ratio:<\/strong> 2.50:1 <strong>Fuel Load:<\/strong> 20 gal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and Specs<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Not available (at press time)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>LOA:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>22\u20196\u2033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Beam:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>8\u20196\u2033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Draft (max):<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>NA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Dry Weight:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2,200 lb.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Seat\/Weight Capacity:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>12\/1,710 lb.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Fuel Capacity:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>38 gal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size aligncenter is-style-fill has-medium-font-size\" id=\"auraContact\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aurapontoons.com\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#007ca7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Contact Aura Pontoons<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Aura Pontoons<\/strong> \u2013 Alma, Michigan;
