5 Boats Under $100K | Formula 360 Weekender | Low Bridge Turnaround - 3/9/2026

OPEN-BOW WEEKENDER Formula’s 360 CBR carries forward the company’s stepped-hull performance tradition with a single-level cockpit that runs bow to stern without interruptions. Designed by Michael Young, she pairs open-bow seating with a stand-up cabin and overnight amenities below. With twin 380-hp MerCruiser sterndrives she reached 47.7 mph in testing, blending day-boat space with weekend capability.
 

TRAWLER RANGE, TWIN V12s Riviera has been building owner-operator yachts in Australia for decades, and the 72 Sports yacht shows it, blending a serious cockpit with multiple social zones, including an aft galley that serves the mezzanine. Twin 1,900-hp MAN V12s pushed her to 33.7 knots in testing. With up to 2,774 gallons of fuel, she can settle into an 11.1-knot passage pace for 1,421 nm with reserve.
 

26 FEET, OFFSHORE Wellcraft has been building offshore center consoles since 1955, and the 263 Fisherman is a current example of what that focus produces. At 26'4" with a 21° deadrise, 158 gallons of fuel, and a 9-foot beam, she covers a full day offshore without asking much in return. Integrated storage throughout, unobstructed deck, and a layout that keeps things simple when conditions pick up.
 

SHE'S LOOKING LIKE A BOAT The Weber Marine 22m flybridge build keeps moving. Part 4 finds the hull faired and laminated while the deck structure progresses in another shed. Internal frames are coming out as structural pieces go in. Step by step, the project moves closer to launch, and the choices that define how she runs are starting to appear.
 

BRIDGE MATH After a fast round-trip to Atlanta, the Boomershines return to a chilly Lake Michigan and a SeaShine rocking at the dock. The next obstacle is a 20-foot bridge that decides whether the Loop continues or turns around. Out comes the laser pointer as Captain Mark measures every inch before making the call.
