Most Popular Boats of the Week
Every week, BoatTEST publishes news items on about 25 boats and products. Readers have asked which ones are the most popular each day, so below you can find the answer.

Steve will give you some pointers, and we also explain the remarkable new Siren Marine-CZone lash-up that permits remote monitoring of virtually every electrical system on your boat... plus lots more.

[Sometimes it's not what you know, but what you've forgotten. We have the perfect solution for you.](http://smartboatingdvd.com/order_smart_boating.htm)
Based on the feedback we've been getting about [BoatTEST.com's](https://boattest.com) Video Boating Course, it's clearly not only for beginners but for veteran boaters as well. Perhaps that is why the NMMA started promoting the course after just one look. It's the most complete boating course available... period.
