FISHING OR GRILLING This 43-footer has serious flow—the glass door and window slide open, basically merging the salon and cockpit. Twin V12 power gives her the legs to get anywhere fast. And check this: you can actually choose between a fold-out sea terrace and a dedicated fishing spot back aft. If you need speed and adaptability, this boat’s got it nailed.

User Review from FLIBS

side by side test

EIGHT-KNOT DIFFERENCE What happens when you swap conventional propellers for Sharrows? One experienced captain tested identical boats except for the props, and he noted a distinct reduction in vibration and a vastly improved "bite" in the water, especially in turns. The discovery was clear: massive efficiency gains at cruising speed and superior grip in turns.

Practice Question - Answer 

B. B 

 The correct answer is the shape showing two cones with their apexes together in a vertical line. Both International (COLREGs, Rule 26) and Inland Rules require a vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, to display this day shape. It signals that the vessel has nets, lines, or gear extending a significant distance outward, requiring other mariners to maintain clearance.
