PLATINUM UPDATE Riviera’s new 5600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition pairs IPS950 power with three staterooms, a tender garage, stand-up machinery space, and joystick stations at the helm and aft deck. In testing, she reached 31.5 knots and delivered a 437-NM range at 17.3 knots.

COOK IT ABOARD The 43 SAV packs 60-gallon in-deck fish boxes, dual 25-gallon pressurized livewells, and a magnet-equipped rocket launcher table that keeps circle hooks where they belong. When the rods come in, a 43-inch smart TV drops from the hardtop and the cockpit grills come out. Triple 450-hp Yamahas handle the offshore run.

TOURNAMENT READY Triple Trouble is a 2025 Viking 58 Convertible listed out of Destin, FL, carrying twin MTU 10V2000 M96L diesels at 1,622 hp each, a Seakeeper SK18 gyro stabilizer, and a cockpit built around fishing — transom livewells, two full-length fishboxes, a pressurized transom box livewell, Omni sonar, and 41' Rupp outriggers. Three staterooms, 1,502-gallon fuel capacity, and walnut interior.

ONE CLAMP? The marine industry has widely assumed double hose clamps are required below the waterline. ABYC H-27 says otherwise. Two clamps are only mandatory on exhaust connections and fuel fills. A single clamp on a raw-water seacock is compliant, though surveyors who flag it aren't entirely wrong either.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? Buying a used PWC or wakeboat privately? There's a real chance the seller doesn't own it. Post-pandemic fraud shifted toward stolen and liened watercraft sold at prices just low enough to look like a deal. If a dealer or registry catches it later the boat may be seized, and recovering the money can be difficult.

EV MAKER AFLOAT China's XPeng builds EVs, autonomous-driving technology, and flying-car concepts. Now Chinese reports say the company is developing a yacht under the Flying Fish code name, with a dedicated team focused on marine applications.
