“High Noon” starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly was a 1952 movie about a single sheriff taking on a gang of bad guys trying to take over a town. In the current showdown over world tariffs, we are reminded of this epic drama, and wonder how the final scene in this historic showdown will end. Let's take a look at the tariffs, and answer a few questions about future boat pricing -- in case you are in doubt.
TRAILER INCLUDED. In the SeaSoo Switch composite pontoons replace traditional aluminum, and handlebar steering provides a novel control experience. This is not a typical pontoon; she's designed to travel, adapt, and explore. Transporting a pontoon has never been this accessible.
MARINA FRIENDLY. While not definitively the very first, Galeon Yachts is known for pioneering the "Beach Mode" with its aft side fold-out balconies, extending the beam to nearly 20 feet while maintaining a slip-friendly 14'5" when retracted.
SUPERYACHT Seahawk, a Westport 112, is well-maintained with a rich mahogany interior. The open living spaces include a large country kitchen and saloon, while below decks are four staterooms, with a spacious master. Stabilizers give her a smooth ride in most conditions.
The Monterey 30 Elite was Boating Magazine’s “Boat of the Year” – but’s that only the half of it: she is also the most exciting boat to drive in class, thanks to her cool helm which reminds us of driving an “arrest-me-red” 1964 Mustang. She’s available at “Special Club Pricing” for boats going in the growing Sovereign Boat Fleet.
