Maritimo X60:
A Floating Resort for Cruising
An aft galley and wood-grain finishes on all of the appliances, including the expedition-size refrigerator, welcome extended voyages in the Maritimo X60. Note the huge windows and the large sliding sunroof, making the galley just as attractive as the salon/dining area forward. A wine chiller, dishwasher and convection oven are also standard. Settees up front are positioned so that the captain can be included in the conversation. Below, cabins sleep six forward, plus two more if the convertible cabana or the queen stateroom in the stern is chosen. More...

Regal 23 RX Surf:
Equipped to Build the Perfect Wake
The Regal 23 RX Surf is equipped with a suite of specialized features aimed at making it a dedicated wakesports boat. It starts with the Volvo Penta Forward Drive lower unit, which puts the twin props 26" (66 cm) farther forward from those in the water than conventional sterndrives. The boat also includes three soft ballast tanks, which can be filled with up to 1,500 lbs. (680 kg) of water in about three minutes, according to the builder, to create larger wakes or to shape the wake more to port or starboard. The RegalView touchscreen not only monitors all boat functions and provides GPS location, but can also set individualized surfer programs to meet the preference of various riders. The PowerTower with high tow point is also standard. More...
