SLEEPS FOUR The "T" stands for tender, but the T11 uses her 40-foot hull to do more than move people quickly. A convertible cockpit, outdoor galley, and under-seat storage support long days aboard, while two double berths and a separate shower extend the trip overnight. Twin 300-hp Verados delivered a 48-mph top speed in our tests.

FRESH FROM AXOPAR The Axopar 38 Sun Top rides on a twin-stepped V hull with twin Mercury Verados pushing speeds past 50 mph. A sliding canvas roof opens or closes the cockpit in seconds, while the seating shifts from helm chairs to a U-sofa and sunbed with optional bulwark seating for up to 10 aboard.

STERNDRIVE SIMPLE The SPX 210 combines a roomy cockpit, convertible bow lounge, and dedicated ski locker in a package that still fits on a trailer. Her 200-hp MerCruiser reached 46.6 mph in our tests, while the broad swim platform and optional in-water step make repeated stops easier for swimmers and tow-sports crews.

TWIN 1,400-HP MANS Located in Destin, FL, this 2019 Princess S65 combines four staterooms and a crew cabin with twin 1,400-hp MAN V12s (678 hours each). With a Seakeeper NG9, third docking station, hydraulic swim platform, and tender garage, she can handle owner operation, extended cruising, and carrying plenty of water toys.
