Hello Boater
Aviara AV40 OB:
Flagship of Finesse
TEST & WALKTHROUGH VIDEO. In all respects, Aviara is a premium boat line, and the AV40 OB is its flagship. She flies with twin 600-hp Mercury V12s and a WOT of 55.1 mph. When you reach your destination the well-equipped outdoor will allow the chef to dazzle guests with his culinary prowess.
NORDIC SUBSTANCE. The Aquador 250, the shortest LOA in the brand's lineup, is a good pick for an adventurous couple or a young family new to boating. As part of Nimbus Marine Group, Aquador has the infrastructure of one of the most prestigious Scandinavian brands to back it up. We think she's a lot of boat for the money.
OFFSHORE PC. She's a big-game fishing beast and a comfortable cruiser. The Aquila 47 Molokai delivers vast deck space, a 750-mile (1,207 km) range, and luxurious amenities below, all within a 14'7" (4.44 m) beam.
PEAK PERFORMANCE A SeaVee 390 equipped with Sharrow props shows vast improvements in the speed and RPM ranges where this Sea Vee 390 is operated most of the time. Engine and boat builders like to brag about how much more efficient their new products are -- but none can hold a match to Sharrow's gains.
TRUSTY TIARA. The 2017 Tiara 53 Coupe with an integrated hardtop and expansive tinted windows has 360-degree views from the salon and helm. Large doors connected to the cockpit. Powered by twin Volvo IPS II 950s with joystick.
