Sharrow props are now available for Mercury's new V10 outboard engine.
Hello Boater
Bayliner V20
New Bowrider, New Hull
NEW HULL DESIGN Bayliner brought boating to the masses by making its boats affordable, simple to operate, and stable. The new V20 series carries on the tradition with a low-cost, compact design -- but most important of all, she now has a conventional V-bottom which makes her far more comfortable in a light chop.
SAMBA-INFUSED STYLE TheSchaefer Yachts V44 brings Brazilian flair to a market of European and American styles, showing boating knows no borders. Their bold, modern designs feature ample outdoor spaces and vibrant interiors.
COLD-MOLDED MAJESTY The Vicem 65 Classic is a combination of old-world craftsmanship and modern design. She offers customizable layouts, including an atrium galley. Her twin 1,400-hp MAN engines deliver spirited performance.
IN PRODUCTION Mercury V10 owners can now experience the revolutionary performance of Sharrow Propellers. Proven on Mercury MX engines, Sharrow Propellers deliver a dramatic improvement in fuel efficiency, range, and overall performance. More important to many is the remarkable reduction in noise.
FOILING TO THE FUTURE As demonstrated in last year's America's Cup, foils on boats can hit remarkably high speeds with relatively low energy input once foiling speeds are reached. Now, Walter Schulz, CEO and naval architect of Shannon Boat Company in Bristol, RI promises a new world of power boating. See the video.
PLAN AHEAD. Last summer 8 people were rescued 35-miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. Happily, the skipper of the vessel was well prepared with a ship's EPIRB, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) and a VHF radio, All were employed to call for help and a USCG helicopter took them to shore. Now is the time to begin outfitting your boat.
