NEW Schaefer Yachts 510 GT Pininfarina

Pininfarina Goes Offshore

SCHAEFER YACHTS 510 GT PININFARINA

CABINS GALORE The 510 GT lets buyers choose the layout below with two, three, or four cabins, plus the option of an expanded lounge or additional galley. Pininfarina shaped the exterior, while below deck a full-beam midship suite offers more than six feet of headroom. Twin Volvo Penta IPS600s, joystick docking, and a hydraulic swim platform round her out.

Fishing Plus Overnight Range 

SeaWell 345XL (2024) Test & Features Video _ BoatTEST-low (1)

TWO CABINS ON A CC Two cabins and a stand-up head with shower on a 34-foot center console is unusual. SeaWell built the 345XL to fish hard offshore and still have somewhere to sleep when the day runs long. With twin Verado V8s pushing her to nearly 60 mph and a 250-gallon fuel capacity, she’s built to run out, stay late, and not rush back.

2023 Bennington SX23

2023 Bennington SX23

CLUB-KEPT BOAT This SX23 comes out of a managed boat club fleet, where uptime matters. That shows in the upkeep, with regular servicing and post-use checks built into its routine. Rigged with a 115-hp Mercury four-stroke, a fishing package with livewell and rod holders, and a dual-axle trailer, she’s set up for easy, repeat use rather than occasional outings.

Boomershines Great Loop Adventure ep. 90

When the Loop Breaks You

maxresdefault-Apr-18-2026-02-42-47-3759-AM

NOT ALL SMOOTH A popular looper stop on the Illinois River had shut down to all loopers after one rude boater ruined it for everyone. That was just the start of the Boomershines' worst day on the water. Episode 90 covers the meltdown, a mid-river anchor stop for safety, and what a commercial barge "double lock" actually looks like.
