The Invincible 39' Open Fisherman is an all-out fishing machine that rides on a Michael Peters-designed twin-stepped bottom. She’s 39’2” (11.94 m) long and has a 24.5-degree deadrise at the transom, one of the deepest in class. Construction highlights include vacuum-bagging and infused vinylester resin that is stronger and more flexible than its polyester cousin. She’s rated for up to 1,800 total hp from up to quad 450-hp outboards. The fit and finish throughout is immaculate and Invincible offers a high level of customization. See what else Capt. Steve liked in our video. More...
Riviera’s 64 Sports Motor Yacht is a skylounge boat with essentially two salons, so she’s up for entertaining a crowd. The skylounge is also a popular perch for watching the passing scenery rain or shine, a major plus. During a long cruise with three couples or the kids and grandkids aboard, there’s space for everyone to find some privacy. There are two aft decks and having the primary helm high and forward gives the captain good views. There’s an aft control station for backing into a slip. Below, she can be laid out with three or four staterooms. More...

There’s also a lounging area on the bow and this area can be protected with a retractable awning. More...

Setting up reference points in line with the helm helps keep a captain running straight.
How often have we seen boats weaving their way across the water, unable to keep heading in a straight line? Maybe you have even experienced this snaking. Sometimes, it is because the captain is over-steering — first too far one way, then too far the other way. It is primarily because he or she doesn’t know how to aim his or her boat. More...
