American Water Sports is proud to offer this exceptional pre-owned 2024 Barletta Leggera R26UCA — a nearly-new, only-one-year-old example of Barletta's flagship sport-performance tri-toon lineup, fitted with the segment-benchmark Mercury Verado 400L V8 outboard and positioned at meaningful pre-owned savings vs current-model-year MSRP for one of the most sought-after builds in the premium performance-pontoon segment. Available at our Kimberling City location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-KC-20197, Hull #BDF20197C424), this 2024 Leggera R26UCA is a genuinely rare pre-owned opportunity — the Leggera is Barletta's newest and most performance-focused tier, and finding a 2024 build of this caliber on the pre-owned market at essentially current-platform architecture is the kind of listing that serious performance-pontoon buyers watch specifically for. The Barletta brand pedigree needs little introduction to the Table Rock Lake pontoon market — American Water Sports is a factory-authorized Barletta dealer, and Barletta has established itself since its 2017 launch out of Bourbon, Indiana as one of the fastest-growing and most respected premium American pontoon builders, with a portfolio that spans the value-oriented Sanza and Aria tiers through the mid-market Cabrio and Corsa lineups up to the premium-luxury Lusso and flagship Reserve platforms. The Leggera lineup is the sport-performance answer within that Barletta tier hierarchy — designed specifically for buyers who want the high-horsepower, sport-tuned, performance-oriented tri-toon experience that Bennington's QX Sport, Harris's Crowne SS, and Manitou's X Series lines have defined in the premium performance-pontoon segment. For the family who wants a nearly-new Barletta at the top of the sport-performance tier at meaningful pre-owned savings vs new-MY MSRP, this 2024 Leggera R26UCA is one of the most compelling pre-owned pontoons at our Kimberling City location this season.
Barletta launched in 2017 as a new premium pontoon brand out of Bourbon, Indiana, and in less than a decade the brand has ascended to the top tier of American pontoon builders — now part of the Winnebago Industries portfolio, which also includes Winnebago RV, Grand Design RV, Newmar RV, and Chris-Craft. Barletta's rapid rise in the premium-pontoon segment has been driven by a combination of aggressive contemporary styling, premium interior appointments, engineering-forward hull and tri-toon design, and a tiered product lineup that covers essentially the entire premium-pontoon market from entry-value through flagship-luxury. The Leggera specifically is Barletta's sport-performance tier — designed for buyers who want high-horsepower outboard power (typically 400hp Mercury Verado V8, 450R Mercury Racing V8, or comparable high-performance outboards), sport-tuned tri-toon hull architecture optimized for higher cruising speeds and confident handling in bigger water, and the kind of aggressive-styling and performance-oriented seating layouts that distinguish premium performance-pontoons from luxury-cruiser or family-day-oriented pontoon builds. The R26UCA specifically is the 26-foot platform in the Leggera lineup, with the UC (Upper Class) chassis designation and the specific A-variant floorplan layout that Barletta offers within that tier. For the buyer cross-shopping nearly-new performance tri-toons in the 25-27 foot premium tier, comparing directly against Bennington 25 QXSB with Mercury Verado 400, Harris Crowne SS 250 with 400hp package, and Manitou X-Plode 25 high-horsepower builds, this 2024 Barletta Leggera R26UCA is a distinctive Barletta alternative with the specific advantage of being pre-owned at meaningful savings vs current MSRP.
For buyers already familiar with the Barletta lineup — either from having cross-shopped the brand or from seeing the range of Barletta builds we carry at American Water Sports in both new and pre-owned — the Leggera occupies a distinct spot in the tier hierarchy. Where the Sanza and Aria lines target the value and entry-mid segments, the Cabrio and Corsa lines target the mid-market family-day and sport-family duty, and the Lusso and Reserve lines target the premium-luxury and flagship-luxury tiers — the Leggera targets the sport-performance buyer who wants outright high-horsepower capability and aggressive sport-styled character rather than luxury-cruiser refinement. Think of Leggera as the Barletta answer to the sport-performance customer who would previously have gravitated to Bennington's QX Sport line, Harris's Crowne SS, or Manitou's X Series — a legitimate sport-performance premium tri-toon platform with the engineering-forward Barletta build quality and the design-differentiated Barletta character that distinguishes the brand. The R26UCA is the 26-foot Leggera build with UC upper-class chassis architecture and A-variant floorplan — one of the more capable Leggera platforms for buyers who want the larger 26-foot footprint at the sport-performance tier.
This 2024 Leggera R26UCA is powered by the Mercury Verado 400L V8 — the segment-benchmark high-performance outboard that has become the go-to power option for premium sport-performance tri-toon builds. The Mercury Verado 400L V8 is a naturally-aspirated 4.6-liter V8 four-stroke outboard, producing 400 horsepower at the propshaft, with dual overhead camshafts, quad-cam variable valve timing, and Mercury's Advanced MidSection isolation technology that delivers exceptionally smooth power delivery and vibration isolation — genuinely refined V8 character even at wide-open throttle. On a 26-foot Barletta Leggera tri-toon hull with the UC upper-class chassis and quality performance rigging, 400 horsepower delivers the kind of accelerative punch, confident higher cruising speeds, and credible top-end performance that defines the sport-performance tri-toon segment. Mercury Marine's global service network gives you broad parts and service support wherever this boat travels, and the Verado platform's proven reliability record — combined with the boat being only 1-2 years into service — means this is an outboard package with essentially the entire service life ahead of it. For the family who wants premium performance-pontoon capability with the sport-boat-like acceleration and cruising speeds that a properly-powered premium tri-toon delivers, the Verado 400L V8 on this Leggera R26UCA is the segment-benchmark powertrain choice.
The R26UCA floorplan is Barletta's 26-foot Leggera build with UC upper-class chassis architecture and the specific A-variant floorplan layout — a purpose-built sport-performance tri-toon layout designed to balance high-horsepower on-plane capability with the premium seating and lounging content that Barletta buyers expect. On the sport-performance tier, the layout emphasis is on aggressive helm positioning, purposefully-designed seating that handles higher cruising speeds without compromise, integrated storage throughout the deck, quality flooring, premium upholstery, and the kind of design-differentiated Barletta exterior styling that sets the Leggera apart from more-traditional family-cruiser pontoon layouts. Because Barletta offers multiple floorplan variants within the R26UC family (rear-lounge, sport-back, and other configurations) and multiple factory-option content packages within each floorplan, the specific interior layout, exterior color, upholstery color, tri-toon hull package spec (standard tri-toon vs UpFront Hydro Package with performance-enhancement lifting strakes and hydrofin systems), audio system spec, factory Bimini or Power Bimini configuration, and other build specifics on this particular 2024 R26UCA build should be verified at walkthrough. For the specific factory option content and floorplan configuration on this 2024 Leggera R26UCA, please contact our Kimberling City team for the build sheet specifics.
As a 2024 model year build, this Barletta Leggera R26UCA is essentially current-platform Barletta architecture — the same Leggera hull, same tier positioning, same premium specification content that defines current Leggera production today. For the buyer cross-shopping new-vs-pre-owned alternatives in the premium sport-performance tri-toon segment, a 2024 Leggera R26UCA represents a genuinely compelling value alternative to ordering a new build at full current-model-year MSRP — essentially all of the current-vintage Barletta Leggera ownership experience with only 1-2 years of depreciation savings and immediate availability rather than the multi-month new-build lead time that current-vintage premium pontoon orders now typically require. Nearly-new premium pontoons in this tier consistently present in the kind of near-showroom cosmetic and mechanical condition that new-vs-nearly-new comparisons make abundantly clear — factory-original gel coat pontoons, minimal upholstery wear, current-spec electronics and audio, current-spec canvas — and the 1-year-old sweet spot on premium pontoons is arguably the single best value in the pre-owned pontoon market. For the buyer cross-shopping current Barletta Leggera R26UC production at full 2026 MSRP, this 2024 R26UCA delivers essentially the same ownership experience at meaningful pre-owned savings — and is one of the more compelling nearly-new opportunities in our current Barletta pre-owned inventory.
As a factory-authorized Barletta dealer, American Water Sports carries the full Barletta lineup — from entry Sanza and Aria builds through the Cabrio, Corsa, Lusso, Leggera, and flagship Reserve tiers — with strong new-boat inventory at both our Kimberling City and Shell Knob locations. That factory-authorized dealer relationship translates directly into meaningful ownership advantages for the pre-owned Barletta buyer as well: our service shop has factory-authorized Barletta service training, direct parts-channel access through the Barletta dealer network, and the kind of in-house Barletta-specific service depth that unauthorized-dealer or non-Barletta shops simply cannot deliver. For this 2024 Leggera R26UCA pre-owned buyer specifically, that means factory-authorized-dealer service support on both the Barletta hull and structural components and the Mercury Verado 400L V8 outboard — with Mercury being the OEM outboard supplier for essentially the entire premium pontoon segment, our shop is fully equipped to support the complete Mercury Verado service portfolio through parts, maintenance, and warranty support (subject to any remaining Mercury warranty coverage from original delivery date).
Because this 2024 Barletta Leggera R26UCA is a pre-owned listing, the full original equipment list, factory option content, and any owner-added accessories are not fully reproduced in this online description.
