The Ranger® Reata® 243C is the only pontoon as big as your weekend plans. With a 24- by 8-foot deck and a full-width swim platform, this rig is built for a crowd. Three powder coated and clear coated logs and a soft-touch, durable flooring form the luxury upon which you’ll make memories all while surrounded by comfort, luxury and convenience. Underneath the deck is our AquaArmor™ undercladding that unitizes the deck and logs as well as protects from water intrusion. Every getaway is complemented by peace of mind delivered by our redesigned fencing and solid, stable footprint so you can focus on what really matters. From size, features and comfort, the 243C is the undisputed good time champ.

Raising the standard of what comes standard.
From powder-coated logs that slice through the water to the through-bolted deck that is firmly attached to the frame of the boat, comfort and performance are inextricably connected. And that kind of thoughtful construction affords a different kind of connection as well.
The kind you build with your family in new settings and unique moments, away from your daily routines and expectations.
Premium-grade construction, first quality materials throughout and a thoughtful layout combined with amenities you’d believe to be considered upgrades come standard with Reata®.
The reason is simple. When collecting memories, you need plenty of storage.
