Hello Boater

Formula 360 CBR OB 

63.7 MPH Tested 

Formula360CBROB

TRIPLE PUSH Triple Mercury Verado outboards pushed the Formula 360 CBR OB to 63.7 mph in our testing, while joystick piloting makes close-quarters handling far less demanding. Her one-level deck and overnight cabin broaden what can be done after the throttles come back.

Fishing Platform That Also Entertains

Regal 43 SAV

REAL FISH TEST Captain Trip heads into the Gulf Stream to chase mahi, giving the Regal 43 SAV an offshore workout instead of a dockside tour. From fighting fish around the bow to grilling fresh catch in the cockpit, she shows how one platform can handle a productive morning offshore and an afternoon at anchor without changing pace.

Practice Question - Answer 

C) Neither vessel is the stand-on vessel.

When vessels are not in sight of one another in restricted visibility, the stand-on and give-way rules do not apply, so both vessels must proceed with caution in accordance with the fog navigation rules.
