Description
The 2026 Bentley LE 160CR addresses a specific and growing market: lakes and waterways with motor restrictions limiting horsepower to 10, 15, or 25 HP maximum. Bentley’s LE series (Lake Edition) is purpose-built for these environments, combining responsiveness with a compact footprint. At just 16 feet overall length, the LE 160CR is nimble enough to navigate tight shorelines and shallow coves, yet spacious enough to accommodate a family of six comfortably for day cruising or entertaining.
The textured black rails and indigo blue panel accents give this compact pontoon a modern, stylish appearance. The Mercury Avator Dash outboard is a proven, fuel-efficient powerplant perfectly matched to the LE 160CR’s lightweight construction and low-power constraints. Inside, the SE gray interior paired with a black bimini frame and slate teak flooring creates a refined, contemporary cabin aesthetic. Bentley’s build quality remains consistent across all models: premium materials, tight construction tolerances, and responsive handling characteristics that punch above the boat’s size class. This is new factory inventory ready for immediate delivery worldwide.

Performance & On-Water Capabilities
The Mercury Avator Dash in the 15-25 HP range delivers smooth, predictable cruising speeds of 12-16 knots at half throttle, with wide-open throttle approaches of approximately 18-22 knots in calm water. Fuel economy is exceptional, achieving 5.0-6.5 MPG at cruise speeds. The 16-gallon fuel tank provides 3-4 hours of typical day-cruising operation.
The LE 160CR’s compact 16-foot length and shallow draft (approximately 10-12 inches) make it ideal for motor-restricted lakes with shallow bays and tight shoreline access. The aluminum dual-pontoon hull delivers surprising stability for its size, handling 1- to 2- foot chop with ease. The narrow beam and lightweight construction make the boat responsive to steering inputs; the boat feels quick and agile compared to full-size pontoons.
This platform excels for couples, small families, or fishing pairs seeking quiet, fuel-efficient lake exploration without the noise and expense of larger powerplants. The low-horsepower constraint transforms from limitation into advantage: minimal environmental impact, zero noise complaints, and exceptional fuel efficiency.
