Boston Whaler 350 Realm

Multi-Mission Express w/57.6 MPH WOT

performance video boston whaler

PERFORMANCE & FEATURES VIDEO. 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. But, she’s more of a family weekender than a hardcore fishboat.  The air-conditioned helm can be fully enclosed with drop-down curtains.

Five Fish

PREOWNED VIKING

PRE-OWNED YACHT. This clean Viking 37 has A/C and she’s fully loaded for offshore angling. The flying bridge is set up in tournament fashion with a center console helm and flanking lounges. In the cockpit, it’s all fishy business with a transom door, transom livewell, bait freezers, rocket launcher and twin mezzanines. Power is twin Cummins QSB 6.7s.

Sharrow Props Tops on World Cat 325

Faster to Plane, Quieter, More Fuel-Efficient

world-cat-325-sharrow-1

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.

Revenge of the Orcas

Another Sailboat Sunk

Orca’s Sink Another Boat Off Spain’s Coast

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.

What It Takes for

NMMA Certification

NMMA
