REDESIGNED SERIES D.The Bayliner Deckboat series has been redesigned to offer more freeboard, greater cockpit depth and a sportier appearance. Now its larger boats are affordable, dryer and better able to handle the chop of the lake. Prices start at about $50k for the D22 shown above.
FIRST LOOK. The Tiara 43 LE enters the 2025 Model Year with a redesigned layout, featuring a fully enclosed salon and galley. Choose between the Lounge or Adventure Modules to customize your cockpit to your specific boating preferences.
WALKTHROUGH VIDEO. The SeaPiper 37 is compact, thrifty to buy and run and sized right for Great Looping or coastal touring. She’s powered by an 85-hp Westerbeke diesel fed by a 200-gallon (757 L) fuel tank that can reportedly take her up to 1,000 NM at 5 to 6 knots.
PRODUCT REVIEW. EEL stands for Easily Engaged Lock: It clamps down using Marinco’s patented Jaw Clamp Technology, eliminating the need for threaded fittings. The company says it creates a watertight seal. A built-in light makes it easier to connect in limited light.
Endless rockbound harbors, working waterfronts, dockside restaurants and a whole lot of ways to prepare lobster make this a late summer cruise well worth taking.
Learn these basic knots so you can tie them quickly, even under stress, and you’ll be ready to secure your boat safely anywhere you dock. These knots work in fresh and saltwater.
SHIPS AHOY. During the 1980s, there was a proliferation of builders calling their brand "ships." Capitalizing on its ruggedness one was called Hardship. Then, there was family-friendly Companionship, second only to Championship. But when it comes to boat builders, the all-time favorite is still Receivership.
