Monday #1
Nimbus C11
Fast, Multi-Mission Scandinavian Commuter
The Nimbus C11 is a fast and versatile commuter, a potential weekender for two and a good all-weather fishing boat thanks to a second set of controls in the cockpit. With twin 350-hp Mercury outboards, she ran greater than 50 mph in our tests.
Bookmatched woodworking and excellent fit and finish distinguish the North Pacific 49 Pilothouse. This puts her in elite company at the top of the field, while her exterior lines and solid build mark her as a go-anywhere long-ranging coastal cruiser for the intrepid couple.
The Formula 350 CBR is one of the most popular boats in the builder’s line and we have tested sisterships and half-sisterships. The amazing thing is the consistency of good performance with all of the iterations. But when it comes to top speed, triple 350-hp Mercury V10s top them all.
With a 21'8" (6.6 m) beam, she's ready for long trips offshore or living aboard. She has three staterooms below. Large entertaining areas on deck and on the bridge are ideal for cruising.
The aft deck of the Riviera 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition welcomes guests for outdoor dinner in summer or buttoned up with isinglass in-the-shoulder seasons for cozy cocktails — all within the conversation range of the salon. Below she has three staterooms.
There is a reason commercial boat owners specify Propspeed on their running gear — it works. This silicone-based coating makes it impossible for marine flora and fauna to stick.
Here’s everything you need to know to buy the right battery charger for your boat, whether you have one multi-purpose battery or a full bank including multiple deep discharge devices.
When it's rough offshore, the engines have to work harder to produce the thrust necessary to punch through waves. Sharrow props produce more thrust in the mid-range than legacy props. They gave this Twin Vee greater range and a fuel safety factor in snotty conditions.
Relaxed ICW cruising and pleasant, easy-entry harbors are part of Low Country cruising, with lots of history, fine beaches and plenty of natural beauty.
