BOAT BUYING. This is the best buying opportunity for Boston Whaler models we have seen in many years. 22 models are listed from the smallest to the largest and the time is definitely right to lock in discounts that will mitigate depreciation on a brand that holds its value better than almost any other.
PERFORMANCE VIDEO. The Aviara 32 combines avant-garde styling in a premium class dayboat that gets to the fun at 50 mph. She has many premium features, including the aluminum-framed hardtop, cool-feel seating, glass dash, wet bar, console head and a power-lift on the aft storage hatch.
PERFORMANCE/FEATURES VIDEO. The Power 67 has a beam spanning a remarkable 32’3” (9.84 m), providing impressive space on deck and below and her draft of just 3’10” (1.15 m) is great for exploration. She’s designed for long-range cruising — at 10 knots, her range is nearly 1,100 nautical miles. She offers comfort to a boatload of guests with her 5+2 or 4+2 cabin layouts, all with ensuite heads.
COUPLE CRUISING. This married couple spends eight months a year onboard their Sabre 45 exploring small-town America and learning to see life differently while on the water. The Sabre 45 combines Downeast styling with a livable yacht, which is comfortable at displacement speed or kicking up her IPS heels.
PRODUCT REVIEW. The new Honda 350 is a SOHC 60° V8, 32-valve outboard with 302 CID (5 L) with a dry weight of 765 lbs. (347 kg) in standard shaft length. The alternator delivers 70 amps to the batteries and the engine automatically increases rpm when added electrical power is needed for charging.
FUELED WITH INNOVATION. The 2024 edition of the Monaco Energy Challenge had teams from 32 universities and colleges, with 400+ students arriving from Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. It reminds us of the American Soap Box Derby held each year in Akron, Ohio.
A breaching humpback whale feeding about one mile off the New Hampshire coast came smashing down on a Parker center console on Tuesday. The boat's Yamaha engine took the brunt of this hit and the cowling was cracked. The boat capsized, floated level and was towed back to shore. The two anglers were uninjured.
Sea-Doo is partnering with the Fédération Française de Sauvetage et de Secourisme (FFSS) for the summer 2024 Olympics beginning this week in Paris. The collaboration aims to enhance athletes' safety with state-of-the-art jet skis and advanced rescue equipment. We are increasingly seeing PWCs used for rescue worldwide.
