Carver If I could sum up the essence of the Carver C43 Coupe in two words, they would be living space. That because, just as it did with the C40 and the C37 before it, Carver seeks to maximize usable space belowdecks, in the salon and also in the aft cockpit. It starts with Carver […]

For more than 15 years owners of Albin 28s have praised their boats capabilities as sportfishermen, overnighters and pocket cruisers. No doubt this versatility has helped the Albin 28 to become one of the most successful models in the company’s history. Designed by naval architect Terence Compton, the Albin 28 is offered in two basic […]

**EdgeWater** Specifications LOA: 21’8” Beam: 8’6” Draft: 13” Fuel: 55 gal. Max hp: 250 Base price: $56,717 with Yamaha F200 outboard EdgeWater: 386-427-9783 • ewboats.com With $4 a gallon gas becoming a fact of life, smaller boats that are stingy on fuel make good sense these days, ­especially when you’re fishing bays, tidal rivers and […]

A growing trend on the water started with the advent of powerful, big-block outboards and continued with diesel-fuel prices hitting record levels last year. Realizing where the market was headed, Everglades Boats reacted. In rapid succession, the company introduced two new outboard express models at the fall boat shows that generated a noticeable buzz among […]

For the second year in a row, Grady-White Boats was high on the list of anglers who had experienced the brand. No wonder: The company has been building boats since 1968 under the same ownership, and it has been one of the most sought-after brands in that time. Grady has been a winner of industry […]

In current usage, the term “hybrid” most often refers to a car propelled by either a gasoline engine or electric motor. But it also means something distinctive that’s made by combining two different elements. Grady-White’s 251 Coastal Explorer represents the latest example of that in the marine world. This new model — not a bay […]

Grady-White’s new flagship, the Freedom 375 leads the dual-console outboard category in size. Bigger and beamier than the Freedom 335, it is built on the same C. Raymond Hunt-designed SeaV2 hull as the popular and proven Canyon 366. Billed as a multifunction boat, the 375 adds a large measure of comfort and convenience features — […]

HELL’S BAY One might wonder why Hell’s Bay would go back to the drawing board on the Marquesa, the company’s most popular and best-selling skiff. According to Hell’s Bay, the reason is simple: “We listened to our current Marquesa owners and improved the performance of the boat even more,” says marketing director Todd Fuller. The […]

HELL’S BAY The designers and craftsmen at Hell’s Bay Boatworks must never sleep. In addition to recently introducing two new models, the Skate and the Neptune, those at Hell’s Bay somehow found the time to merge the concepts of two popular models into a skiff that is sure to catch the eye of any shallow-water […]

HELLS BAY In addition to releasing the largest flats boat it’s ever built, the Neptune, Hell’s Bay Boatworks recently unveiled its smallest skiff on record. With a hull length of just under 13 feet and a weight of 250 pounds, the Skate is a small-water specialty boat that will serve skinny-water fly-anglers well. How shallow […]

The offshore forecast in South Florida called for 6- to 7-foot seas, northeast winds to 25 knots and scattered showers — not exactly ideal fishing conditions. “At least you’ll see how well this boat handles big seas,” said Bill Cordes, director of sales and marketing for Invincible Boats, as we met at Two Georges Marina […]

**Sea Vee announced the fourth offshore center-console model in the stepped-hull Z lineup — the 370Z** — at the Miami International Boat Show earlier this year. The 370Z’s hull design features multiple lifting bodies with unique geometry, which results in a fixed running-trim angle. Sea Vee also employs a four-port air-induction system that uses a […]

By Jim Hendricks The grace with which Jupiter Marine****’s 38 Caribee edition glided across the waves belied the sea state off Islamorada, Florida, the day I fish-trialed this center-console with Capt. Billy Harbaugh and Bill Gilbert, manager of Caribee Boat Sales. Powered by triple F300 Yamaha outboards, the boat bounded headlong at almost 40 mph […]

Though Hydrasports has always been known for performance, the recognition for style and features was likely forged by the company’s new “custom” strategy. When Hydrasports came under new ownership in 2012, it analyzed its orders and discovered that owners were selecting 90 percent of the available options. So it made those popular options standard. Even […]

Like many other admirers of the brand, I was hopeful Hydra-Sports would survive after its parent company shuttered the doors at the start of the recent economic downturn. Fortunately, others recognized its strong value too, and MasterCraft, the venerable water-sports builder, stepped in. The new Hydra-Sports 2500 center console is the result of that latest […]

It could be the decades of experience Intrepid has in building performance boats or that many of its hulls become law enforcement boats around the country, but this near-custom boatbuilder has captured the hearts of those who have experienced the brand’s charm on the water. True, the sample pool was smaller, but we weren’t surprised. […]

There’s never been any question about the pedigree of Intrepid Powerboats. As a semicustom Florida builder, the brand has always enjoyed a reputation for innovative design, fine workmanship and solid performance. Still, Intrepids have been more likely to be tied up to a megayacht as a tender than alongside a tournament weigh-in dock. Well, that’s […]

The walkaround has never been more popular, and for good reason: It’s a versatile, user-friendly, great all-around layout with excellent fishability. Utilizing the same fast and proven hull of its 42-foot center console, Invincible has entered the game with a good-looking and fast rendition. Make no mistake — the folks at Invincible are focused on […]

**33 INVINCIBLE** **Invincible** 33′ **With so much attention being put on large center consoles with triple** With so much attention being put on large center consoles with triple and quad engines lately, I was glad to get to test a fishing-focused midsize center console recently. Powered with twin engines and designed for serious fishing, the […]

If your ideal boat bears a brand name commanding respect but still feels like it was built just for you, take a look — a loving gaze, likely — at a Jupiter. Company president Carl Herndon, of Blackfin and Bertram fame, has created similar sport-fishing yacht cachet with Jupiter. Jupiter Marine’s line of outboard-powered sport-fishing […]

It’s hard to get on a Mako boat today and not think back to the glory days of the ’70s and early ’80s, when you were hard-pressed not to see a Mako at a marina. But it’s important to remember that there were few other brands with a full product line from 17 to 28 […]

Worthy of the Catwalk I’ve been aboard every new Sunseeker since the early 1990s, watching the builder’s growth from up close. An indication of just how far Sunseeker has advanced came with the first showing of the Predator 57 ­earlier this year. It was in London, where the ­presiding launch-party celebrity was Nicole Scherzinger, ex-front […]

At first glance you might wonder about the windows on Kaytoo, a 100 Bahamas Skymaster from Paragon Motor Yachts. The choice of vertical rather than sweptback windows had me thinking they were selected to reflect contemporary design trends. I was partially right, but there are more practical reasons for them. And they all point to […]

Zeelander Yachts is adding to its range with a Z55, which will fit snugly in the builder’s line between the Z44 and Z68. We got hold of these renderings that show the rainbow of hull-paint options. We’re torn between bahai blue and garnet red as our favorites. Which color would you order? More details are […]

Italy’s Adriatic coast, particularly near Fano, is an idyllic place for a sea trial. Not only do the region’s white-sand beaches and rolling hills provide a sublime backdrop, but the shallow depths along that stretch of the Adriatic can create a sizable chop to really test a boat. Running Dominator’s 800S there recently provided an […]

Nearly three decades old, Dyna Yachts is well-known to the world yachting market, but the recently launched Dyna 60 is the first of this builder’s European-inspired motoryachts. This vessel marks a distinct change in styling. Partly, it’s because the company is striking out under its own name (see sidebar), but it is also about keeping […]

Recently, Monte Carlo Yachts announced the introduction of its newest creation — the 105 (32 m) motoryacht. This is the first MCY over 100′ and she follows the exterior styling and aerospace construction methods pioneered in the company’s four earlier models which range from 65′ to 86′. Again, Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard were the […]

In the normal scenario, boat builders develop and incorporate new designs into a targeted model, then apply similar improvements to other boat sizes afterward to complete a specific line. With the introduction of the FX25, its hybrid bay boat, Sea Born followed this plan to perfection last year. The Georgia builder is now continuing the […]

Bay boats are evolving. Once used primarily with a trolling motor to fish shallower depths and cross open ­waterways, the latest generation is clearly multipurpose. From nearshore patch reefs, rigs and wrecks to working weed lines or drifting for swordfish in the Gulf Stream, anglers and builders alike are breaking the style’s traditional mold. Sea […]

2006 Monterey 290 Cruiser Monterey 290 Cruiser Express Route: There are those who will buy a boat on first sight, especially if the boat possesses muscular, angular good looks and hot helm styling. A boat such as Monterey’s 290 Cruiser. But wiser boaters look closer, setting aside how the boat makes them feel to assess […]

Sea Ray 410 Sundancer   Catching its profile from the dock, I thought Sea Ray’s 410 Sundancer looked European, with its curving sheer line, raked windshield and sleek hardtop. Upon closer inspection, I discovered the 410 embodies something quintessentially American: freedom of choice. The 410 expands on the old 390 model and offers all kinds […]

As a rule, we don’t profile boats a second time simply because they’ve been repowered. However, in the case of this Albemarle 360 (and other boats that have crossed over to pod propulsion), the running surfaces have been completely redesigned and retooled to handle the different propulsion system and engines have been relocated aboard, so […]

Carver If I could sum up the essence of the Carver C43 Coupe in two words, they would be living space. That because, just as it did with the C40 and the C37 before it, Carver seeks to maximize usable space belowdecks, in the salon and also in the aft cockpit. It starts with Carver […]

Outboard fishers keep getting bigger. Blame that on the success of big outboard builders like Mercury who step up to the plate with turbocharged 300 hp Verados and efficient new Enertia ECO-series props, which our editors have noted to increase fuel efficiency by as much as 20 percent. Together with Yellowfin speedy stepped hull, this […]

There are boats that can do a lot of things, but there is no perfect boat that does everything. When I see a builder make a new model that is built with purpose and not meant to be “all things to all people, I take notice. The folks at Yellowfin have stepped up and created […]

Professional guides and tournament anglers typically tweak their boats to match their fishing styles. With Pro-Line’s Pro 24, they’ll be able to customize their craft from the start. Sold factory-direct, this bay model begins with the hull, and customers add options from there. Among the many choices are livewell configurations, fish boxes and dry storage, […]

Pro-Line is back. After a brief hiatus, the company has returned as a serious player in competitive sport fishing following the launch of its twin-engine 29 Super Sport last fall. The reincarnation is sure to please the hardcore set. “Our newest center console gets us back in the high-performance fishing market that we’ve been out […]

Longtime readers of boat tests will remember when deep-V hulls were the norm and too many evalu-ations included the phrase “cut through the water like a hot knife through butter.” Today computer-aided design and lighter, stronger materials have significantly changed boater expectations. Overall performance and fishability top the most desired characteristics among the serious angling […]

Since 1988, Regulator Marine has been at the spear point of a revolution in crafting quality offshore fishing boats. According to our survey, it valued for its style, durability, safety and a reputation that ensures high resale value. In fact, no other boat brand scored higher than Regulator for value. But while “value often means […]

As an increasing number of boat brands turn to techie features and flashy gizmos to attract buyers, it reassuring to find companies that still choose substance over style. Regulator is one of those companies, and while their boats come with their share of bells and whistles, design and craftsmanship are the main attractions. With clean […]

There is something refreshing about stepping aboard a clean, well-built boat uncluttered with gadgets and gizmos. Pursuit hits the mark with the new C 260 center console, with its crisp, stylish appearance and quality finish. The key benefits of any center console are 360-degree fishability and fish boxes, livewells and layouts that accommodate anglers. The […]

The C 280 has proven itself to customers who admire Pursuit eye for design and superior performance. Its wide beam gives it plenty of stability and roll resistance while trolling, and its deep deadrise and sharp stem cleave the seas for a smooth ride. Pursuit solid construction contributes to its creamy-smooth cruising capabilities by resisting […]
