COAST TO INLET On display at the Palm Beach Boat Show, March 25–29, the Defender 22 brings a custom aluminum build into Florida waters. A 57° entry and stable hull form support runs through chop, while a 36-sq-ft cockpit and flexible layouts suit fishing, diving, or sandbar stops. Built to order, she offers multiple configurations, including Open and Storm Bow.

A BUYING OPPORTUNITY For many brands the Palm Beach Boat Show will be a buyer's market because the Spring selling season is winding down, and dealers want to get rid of unsold inventory. For other brands -- the most valued -- it will simply be the best time to get your name on the waiting list. Boat prices will not be coming down for these boats, so the sooner you buy, the less you will pay. Look at the news to see why.

1,200 HP AND A SUNPAD With 1,200 hp on the transom, the 39 LS leans into outboard performance while keeping Tiara’s focus on finish and usability. Wide side decks connect bow seating, cockpit, and swim access, and the rotating aft lounge or Adventure Module changes how the space works day to day. Cabin below supports overnight stays without overcomplicating the plan.

OPEN PLAN AFLOAT CL Yachts builds composite hulls in Hong Kong, and the CLC115 is their biggest build yet. At 118 feet with a 34-foot beam, this tri-deck catamaran has the interior volume to match. Full bar and lounge on the main deck, four ensuite cabins on the mid deck, an owner's suite, and a convertible flex space. Twin 1,300-hp MAN V8 diesels standard, hybrid propulsion available.

NO MORE DESCALING Marine growth and pump failure are two of the most common disruptions on the water. ElectroSea’s ElectroStrainer® paired with the SeaStrong® Silver Bullet RDP helps prevent both. Reduce strainer cleanings, eliminate descaling, and protect your pump from run-dry damage, so your system stays reliable when it matters most.

SPEED DOESN’T MATCH? Speed readings not lining up between screens? The issue often isn’t hardware, it’s a buried setting. This walkthrough shows how to access sonar overlay data, reduce clutter, and manually select GPS as the speed source instead of relying on “Auto.” A small adjustment that can clean up the display and correct misleading numbers.
