Tahoe 1950:
Outboard-Powered for Sports
Tahoe designed its 1950 deck boat specifically for outboard power. She comes standard with a 115-hp Mercury outboard and a 150 hp engine is an available upgrade. We tested with the optional power and the boat hit a top speed of 49.6 mph at 5800 rpm. She planed in 3.5 seconds and had plenty of grunt out of the hole. With a 115-hp outboard, Tahoe saw 41.4 mph with a light load and 34.55 mph with a heavy load. The larger motor costs $3,000 more, so if an owner can swing it, the investment will pay off in performance and, more than likely, re-sale. More...

Fountaine Pajot MY 37:
A Cat That Can Play Rough
A cruising catamaran like the Fountaine Pajot MY 37 will more than likely be taken for some extended voyages and during those trips, there is a good chance that the boat will encounter some bumpy conditions. Fortunately, we can report on how the Fountaine-Pajot MY 37 cat handles in 3’ (.91 m) seas. Overall, the boat acquitted herself well, with her sharp V-hulls cutting through the waves. More...
