MasterCraft XT21
The new XT21 is the third model in MasterCraft’s multi-purpose XT water sports series, but it’s the first with a traditional monohull bow. That traditional styling might appeal to owners who don’t love the pickle-fork look — and it adds peace of mind in choppy conditions, where there’s less chance of rollers dumping over the […] Read More

Chaparral 287 SSX
Chaparral, a builder of quality family boats since 1965, went to great lengths to create a luxury bowrider with both style and substance in its new 287 SSX. With an impressive 29-foot length and 9-foot beam, this model has the size and ability to handle big lakes and coastal waters — along with more freeboard […] Read More
Princecraft Xpedition 200
Princecraft’s goal is to give each fishing fan the boat of their dreams. This means it either needs to make a lot of different models, or design one that allows the owner to set it up exactly how they want. The Canadian aluminum boat builder took the latter approach and this year transformed its Xpedition […] Read More
Monterey M-65
The resurgence of outboard motors — they’re more powerful, economical and cleaner than ever before — continues to spread ripples throughout the recreational boating industry.

Coastal boaters can sometimes harbor a mistrust […] Read More

Sea Ray Sundancer 320
You’d be forgiven for thinking Sea Ray’s new express cruiser was a bowrider at first glance. The forward lounge area is recessed into the deck, making it safer to ride here while underway, and it features three distinct seats with articulating headrests and armrests (rather than one big sun pad). It’s a blurring of the […] Read More

South Bay 25 Sport RS9 DC

These stable, versatile watercraft have always been hard to beat when it comes to their crowd-pleasing proportions. But now, thanks to more builders incorporating upscale amenities, they’re hard to beat as […] Read More
