Tested: Cruisers 390 Express Coupe
“When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun.” That’s hall-of-fame quarterback Joe Namath talking about the new Cruisers 390 Express Coupe. No, not really.

Sea Ray 19 SPX
I wouldn’t exactly call the new Sea Ray 19 SPX entry level, and neither would they, but this affordable bowrider is definitely aimed at getting active families on the water. So, sure, it’s a great deal at under $30K. However, it’s also a product of one of the industry’s leading builders of quality boats and […] Read More
Cobalt R7WSS
It seems like now more than ever new boats are reflecting contemporary automotive design — the deluxe styling, intuitive technology, custom packages and special editions.

Review: Tiara 44 Coupe
Leon Slikkers, founder of Tiara Yachts, began building fiberglass boats in 1955. That was before nearly anyone else in the industry. In fact, that was before most current boat manufacturers were established. It was even before many of his competitors were born. The Tiara trademark, specifically, emerged in the late 1970s. Over the course of […] Read More

Review: Ranger 620 FS
Just because Ranger has a new owner (Bass Pro Shops) doesn’t mean all its models are new. In this case, those in the know will quickly comment, “The 620 isn’t a new boat! It’s been around for years!” True to a point. However, about the only similarity between this 620 FS and those previous is […] Read More
