The 350 Realm is an express design that also has the familiar feel of a center console-type helm and all of the amenities that anglers want.

SEE DETAILS & PRICE Sharrow Props Tops on World Cat 325 Faster to Plane, Quieter, More Fuel-Efficient REAL WORLD TESTING. Sharrow propellers continue to prove their claim that they are the greatest prop improvement in nearly 200 years. In this test of a World Cat with twin 300-hp Yamahas, the BoatTEST team verifies the propellers produce shorter times to plane, burn less fuel at cruising speed, extend the range, reduce noise and improve low-speed handling. SEE OUR VIDEO TEST SHARROW STORE Revenge of the Orcas Another Sailboat Sunk THEY DON'T LIKE SAILBOATS. Five orcas relentlessly battered a 39’ (11.8 m) sailboat in a “terrifying” two-hour attack. The British owner says he dropped fire crackers on them and turned off his engine to deter them. The assault didn’t end until the hull buckled and split, he said. Note the rudder is still attached in the photo. WE CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP What It Takes for NMMA Certification BOAT BUILDING. Among the dozens of tests required for NMMA certification is a fuel tank fire test. All non-integral fuel tanks and their components within the engine room must be certified to withstand a fire test for 2 ½ minutes and then pass a pressure test. See what else is required.
