Full Tritoon, 350 HP, Under $80K — Atlanta's Best Boat Deal
Carefree Boat Sales near Atlanta is selling fully loaded Godfrey Monaco tritoons with Honda 350 V8 power for $79,995 — $10K–$30K less than the same boat from other brands.
If you've been shopping for a full tritoon with serious horsepower, you already know the sticker shock. Most dealers want $90,000, $100,000, even $110,000 for a fully loaded performance pontoon. At Carefree Boat Sales near Atlanta, we're doing something different — and buyers are taking notice.
Right now, we're selling fully loaded Godfrey Monaco tritoons with the Honda BF350 V8 engine starting at $79,995. That's a complete, performance-ready tritoon with 350 horsepower for under $80,000. And here's the part that really turns heads: if you bought the exact same boat under a competing brand name, you'd pay $10,000 to $30,000 more.
Same boat. Same performance. Tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
Why the Godfrey Monaco + Honda 350 V8 Is the Best Value in Boating
The Godfrey Monaco is one of the most respected tritoon platforms in the industry. It's built with Godfrey's legendary construction quality — the same company that's been building America's pontoons since 1958. The Monaco line is their flagship performance series, with features that rival anything on the market at any price.
Pair that hull with the Honda BF350 V8 outboard, and you have one of the fastest, most refined pontoon powertrains available today. Here's what makes the Honda 350 stand out:
- V8 architecture — not a V6 stretched to its limits, but a purpose-built 5.6L V8 that delivers smooth, linear power from idle to wide-open throttle
- 52+ MPH on a tritoon — we've tested it, and the numbers are real
- Best-in-class fuel efficiency — the Honda V8 sips fuel compared to competing 350 HP engines
- Legendary Honda reliability — the same engineering that powers Honda's marine lineup worldwide
- Quieter operation — the V8's larger displacement means less strain and less noise at cruise
Other brands charge a premium just for the badge on the side. At Carefree, you're paying for the boat and the engine — not the marketing budget.
The $10,000–$30,000 Difference Explained
We hear this question constantly: "How can you sell it for that price?"
The honest answer is that we're a Godfrey Platinum Dealer with a direct factory relationship and volume purchasing power. We don't mark up boats to fund flashy showrooms or national advertising campaigns. We pass the savings to you.
Here's a real-world comparison. A competing brand's 27-foot tritoon with 350 HP typically retails between $90,000 and $110,000. The Godfrey Monaco at the same size, same engine class, same performance capability — $79,995 at Carefree.
That $10,000 to $30,000 difference is real money. It's a dock. It's a trailer. It's years of fuel and maintenance. Or it's just money back in your pocket.
What You Get at $79,995
This isn't a stripped-down base model. The Godfrey Monaco at this price point includes:
- Full tritoon tube package — three aluminum tubes for stability, performance, and towing capability
- Honda BF350 V8 outboard — 350 HP of smooth, reliable power
- 27-inch Impact Tube performance package — built for speed and tube-pulling
- Premium upholstery and seating — lounge-quality comfort throughout
- Full electronics package — GPS chartplotter, VHF radio, and digital gauges
- Bimini top and full canvas — sun and weather protection standard
- Custom color options — choose your hull and interior from Godfrey's 2027 color lineup
Custom orders are available in 6 to 8 weeks. If you want to spec your exact color, upholstery, and options, we can have your boat built and delivered before the spring season.
The Honda BF350 V8: One of the Fastest Outboards on the Market
Let's talk about the engine for a moment, because this is where the story gets really interesting.
The Honda BF350 isn't just powerful — it's in a different class than most 350 HP competitors. While other manufacturers are pushing their V6 platforms to their mechanical limits to hit 350 HP, Honda built a dedicated V8 specifically for this power range. The result is an engine that makes 350 HP effortlessly, with headroom to spare.
In independent testing, the Honda BF350 on a Godfrey tritoon has hit 52 MPH — numbers that were unthinkable on a pontoon boat five years ago. And it does it while returning better fuel economy than competing engines at the same horsepower.
For Lake Lanier buyers, this matters. Lanier has the open water to use this kind of performance. Wide coves, long straightaways, and some of the best boating conditions in the Southeast. The Honda 350 + Monaco combination is built for exactly this kind of lake.
Upcoming Atlanta Boat Shows — Order Now and Save
Boat show season is coming, and prices only go one direction at shows — up. Dealers add freight, prep fees, and show premiums that can add thousands to the sticker price.
The smart move is to order now, before the shows.
Here's why ordering before the Atlanta boat show season makes sense:
- Lock in current pricing — factory incentives and dealer pricing can change after show season
- Get your exact build — custom orders take 6–8 weeks; order now and your boat arrives ready for spring
- Skip the show crowds — come to our Lake Lanier showroom, take a real on-water demo, and make a decision without the pressure of a show floor
- First pick of 2027 colors — the new Godfrey color lineup is stunning, and early orders get first choice
We'll be at the upcoming Atlanta-area boat shows, and we'd love to see you there. But if you're serious about buying, call us before the show and we'll have everything ready for you — pricing locked, build sheet in hand, and a demo scheduled on Lake Lanier.

Why Carefree Boat Sales?
We've been selling boats on Lake Lanier for years, and our reputation is built on one thing: giving Atlanta-area buyers the best boat for the money. We're not the biggest dealer in the Southeast. We're the one that treats every customer like a neighbor — because most of you are.
As a Godfrey Platinum Dealer, we have access to the full Monaco lineup, factory-direct pricing, and the ability to custom-order any configuration. We also carry Veranda, Monterey, Hurricane, Blackfin, and Sailfish — so if the Monaco isn't the right fit, we'll find the boat that is.
But if you want a full tritoon with 350 HP for under $80,000, there's only one place in Atlanta to get it.
Call (678) 725-3749 or visit us at Lazy Days Marina on Lake Lanier. Order now — boat show season is coming, and this pricing won't last forever.
