Irrespective of which floor plan you choose, you’ll find the quality of the fixtures, fittings, and upholstery to be second to none, the seats and lounging areas to be remarkably comfortable, and the storages areas suitably positioned for maximum practicality. There are other difference between the layouts with regard to storage areas, gate locations, etc., but the major differences are in the stern of the boat as described. This back-rest also folds flat to form a sun lounge. The back-rest on the centre part of this lounge seat folds forward so that you can sit and face aft for swimming off the stern of the boat whilst anchored up. Our test boat has the most popular layout with an L-shaped lounge in the rear cockpit with the entry gate situated on the starboard side. The very latest SLCR models also have revised/newly designed side seats up at the bow.

These full support back-rest chairs can be reconfigured into aft facing chaise lounges with the addition of aft storage boxes/seats, which stretch right to the transom. The SLRC version is similar, but it has a pair of aft facing fibreglass moulded bucket chairs right behind the helm chairs. Each lounge curves around the inner transom to allow you to recline while facing forward, as well as aft. The SLC models are designed with chaise lounges on each side of the aft cockpit, behind two big, comfortable helm chairs. These floor-plans are essentially the same, but for the rear seating configurations. The Continental NX 270 is available with single and twin engines, and with a choice of three deck layouts. Aluminium fencing rails flank the deck overhead, while fibreglass consoles, trim pieces and seat mouldings are used to dress the interior. Like other pontoon craft, the hulls are connected and strengthened using aluminium cross members beneath a plywood top deck. Four sealed, pressurised chambers in each tube provide strength and safety the inherent buoyancy provided by the sealed tubes makes these craft virtually unsinkable.
