The Eastern Boats 27 Tournament is a Downeast-style fishing boat with a flared, upswept bow to take on tall seas. A hard-chine hull with a modest 12-degree deadrise at the transom makes her quick-planing, stable and fuel-efficient. Range exceeds 300 statute miles at 30 mph (26.6 knots) with twin 200-hp Suzukis.
The Aquila 32 Sport proves once again that for many powerboat applications, two hulls really are better than one. She’s strong on stability, quick to plane and delivers economical performance for the genre powered by twin 300-hp Mercury outboards.
The Aviara 32 OB is a U.S. build with Euro styling and elegance extending even to the Italian design of the steering wheel. She’s also a strong performer with a top speed of over 50 mph powered by twin 300-hp Mercury outboards. See our full tests.
