Hello Boater
New Level 43 ST:
Mediterranean Meets Miami
Level Yachts, a Spanish builder with a history rooted in dealership expertise, introduces their first model. The 43 ST packs a lot of living space into her design. With fold-down bulwarks that expand the aft deck, an OUTDOOR CINEMA, and a tender garage, she feels much larger than her 44 feet. She’s truly a weekender with some big ideas.
CLASSIC MAINE LOOK. The 27 Tournament is built in New Hampshire and has an undeniable downeast DNA. She blends the durability of a workboat with amenities for overnight trips, including two V-berths and a galley. Her efficient hull is meant for hard-core anglers, but her comforts makes her a great choice for any skipper.
CENTER CONSOLE This 2013 Invincible 42 Open features a 2019 repower with Quad 350 Verado engines, which have 520 hours. The boat is equipped with a dive door and a front entry console. A recent pre-sale structural survey was completed and came back clean.
