ABOUT THE BOAT SHOW

NEW Bayliner C21i

Convertible Cockpit Design

Bayliner C21i

STERNDRIVE, MORE RANGE At 20'11" with an 8'4" beam and 20° of deadrise, the C21i pairs a 200-hp 4.5L MerCruiser Alpha One sterndrive with a true two-person cuddy forward. A removable cockpit table, 3-position flip-flop port lounge, and wide swim platforms keep the day flowing, while increased fuel capacity over the outboard version supports longer runs with much better fuel economy than with outboards.

TEFLON FILM & FIBERGLASS She's really taking shape now. Part 3 of the Weber Marine 22m build finds the hull faired and laminated, while a second crew starts the deck across the marina. With twin V12s, joystick controls, and Humphree stabilizers in the mix, the big decisions are coming fast. A good one to follow.
