Tested: Cruisers 54 Cantius
What can separate a good product from a great product is attention to detail. Cruisers Yachts has proven it has a keen eye for the little things that mean a lot, as evidenced on the Wisconsin builder’s brand-new 54 Cantius. An eye-catching exterior profile balances the well-proportioned hull length, house height and freeboard. Double-paned windshield […] Read More
Yamaha 242X E-Series
Jet boats have their advantages, but the capacity to create a deep, lush, rideable wake isn’t necessarily one of them. That is, until now. Yamaha’s new 242X E-Series represents the brand’s first boat focused on wake sports, and it comes loaded with cutting-edge features designed for high-end performance, towing and entertainment. Foremost among these are […] Read More
Triton 206 Fishunter
Triton founder Earl Bentz is a good listener. When diehard walleye anglers came to him asking for a slightly smaller version of the company’s 21-foot, 7-inch 216 Fishunter, he didn’t turn a deaf ear or try to redirect them to another boat already in the lineup.

Marker One ML4
It wasn’t very long ago that purchasing a pontoon boat would get you two “logs” and aluminum cross beams topped by a wood deck and more aluminum framing for the seats and fence railings. Affordable? Yes. But not the strongest or longest lasting marine construction. Things started to change over the past couple of years, […] Read More
