The 457 CCF is a fully-loaded hardcore bluewater fishing machine with 63.2 mph WOT thanks to triple 600-hp Mercurys and the stepped FAS3TECH® hull design, but she also welcomes cockpit entertainment with a transom grill and mezzanine-style lounge seat. Below she’s a weekender for four.
Captains Gregg and Shelley take their turns testing and inspecting this exciting new cruiser that packs performance and luxury into a package where virtually everything is just plain cool. Three staterooms and two heads — or, turn the third stateroom into a lower salon... or perhaps something else.
The V44 presents a distinctively different look from the Schaefer yard in Brazil, with a Nordic profile like the recently introduced V33 and outboard power rather than the diesels of their cruising yachts. (Inboard diesels are an option.) Large balconies and convertible lounges welcome partying and she accommodates four below.
Tested w/2x 450s, 3x 300s, 3x 350s & 3x 400s. Which is Best?
The folks at Everglades have pulled out all the stops and have tested their new boat in real-world conditions with 4 sets of Yamaha engines ranging from 900 to 1200 horsepower in total. Which combination had the highest top speed, fastest time to 30 MPH and greatest range? The answers may be surprising. She debuts at FLIBS.
The 590 Pilothouse combines work-boat utility and toughness with the comforts expected in a recreational trawler aimed at comfortable extended cruising. Her 8-knot range (with twin engines) exceeds 2,000 NM. Twin skegs protect her running gear and she has three en suite staterooms.
Occasionally handling rough conditions is part of big water boating. Here are some reminders of how to match boat speed and course to the direction, shape and height of the seas.

This 446.2’ (136-m) six-deck yacht towers 105’ (32 m) above the waterline – as tall as three London buses balanced end on end! She has 11 cabins for 36 guests, a 12-m swimming pool and two helipads. The massive spa has heated limestone floors and the first cryo-sauna ever installed on a yacht.
It's hard to believe, but true:the man, the props and the boat above all went viral this year on social media with 7 million people enthralled. Who knew that so many people cared about Sharrow props? There are only 12 million registered boats in the whole U.S! Sharrow props have just scratched the surface!
