NEW WALKTHROUGH VIDEO. The NX 340 Sport Coupe has the sharp forward entry and high freeboard that should make her at home in boating centers worldwide. She's built in Brazil and available with outboards or sterndrives, but we wonder if she can Samba.
PERFORMANCE VIDEO. The 220 Dauntless hits the sweet spot between a hardcore bay boat and a family dayboat. She has an 18-degree deadrise, a draft of just 15” (38.1 cm) and an 8’6” (2.59 m) beam, making her right for flats fishing, beach picnics or trailering to a remote launch.
PRE-OWNED YACHT. This well-kept Aquila 44 power catamaran has 700 hours on her twin 300-hp Volvo diesels. She has Raymarine electronics including radar, an 11.4 kW generator and flatscreen TVs in the salon and all three staterooms. A RIB with outboard is included.

FIRST LOOK. The Shadow 1200 Sun Top is an eye-catching collaboration between Brabus Germany, known for building high-performance custom Mercedes automobiles for the European rich and famous, and Axopar Boats. Brabus performed its rebuild magic on an Axopar 45. Triple 400-hp Mercs push her to 55 knots, per the company.
