The Boston Whaler 420 Outrage is clearly a full-on bluewater fishing battlewagon and dive platform and very fast to the fish with triple 600-hp Mercury outboards. But she also includes plenty of family comforts like lots of lounging areas up front, sun-shaded with a large Bimini. See Our Video ->  

When we say the best of both worlds, we mean both the wake surfing world — as can be seen by the size of this wake — and the sportboat bowrider world. Because she's a Sea Ray designed for open water, not just large ponds, the whole family can enjoy her when not impressing the admiring gallery. See her at FLIBS, Oct 25 - 29. See Our Video ->  

Our award for best outboard stern treatment goes to Nimbus for the innovative swim platform design seen above.  It is 1) a submergible swim platform, 2) an ideal way to launch watersports behind the outboard engines and 3) it can rise up 3' (0.9 m) to serve as a full-width passerelle. But that's just one aspect of this new weekender. See Our Video ->  

Replacing inboard diesels with multiple large outboards allows the Regal 42 FXO to ease up much closer to a beach and to safely operate in relatively shallow water. The outboard alternative also opens up enormous storage bays in what was the engine room and cuts down on noise and vibration while underway. See Our Video ->  

The Sailfish 316 DC has the comforts of a dry-riding dayboat including comfortable seating, a high windshield and a hardtop to keep passengers dry. She also includes all the expected hardcore fishing amenities for which the company is known. See Our Video ->  

Helix Hydraulic Boat Lifts offer very rapid launching, quiet operation, less sway in strong winds than cable systems and better dependability per the company. See details here...  

Most outboard engine makers suggest that saltwater boaters flush their engines for 15 minutes after every outing. That's 45 minutes for the triples seen here or a full hour for quads. With the FlushMaster, you just hook up the hoses to the unit, turn it on and go have a cocktail. We like it and it's very affordable. (FYI — The company is looking for dealers.) See Our Video ->  

After beta testing for more than four years with over 100 units in the field, Hydrofin is now releasing its pontoon boat foils to the general public. They create lift in both bi-toons and tri-toons, increasing speed, improving fuel economy and easing the ride in choppy water. They’re an economical way to improve overall performance on most models that can run more than 20 mph. See Our Review ->
