The new Scout 377 LXF is the manufacturer’s latest S-class boat, which means she’s equipped with luxurious amenities. She also features carbon-epoxy construction with carbon fiber and E-glass infused with 100% epoxy resin. Scout is the only center console builder we know of that uses all-epoxy resin, which is much stronger and more durable than polyester — and is not water permeable. Epoxy is far more costly than polyester. This aspect of the boat alone sets her apart from most other expensive boats in class. Her lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for a generator and can power the AC all day long. She can be powered by triple 425-hp Yamaha outboards or twin 600-hp Mercury V12 Verados. More...

The 116’9” (35.6 m) 35R is the latest motoryacht in Ocean Alexander’s Revolution series. She was designed by the brain trust of Evan K. Marshall and Arrabito Naval Architects to be “the icing on the cake” for her range, immersing guests in luxury and amazing views. The design includes a beach club with an adjacent exercise room and sauna and the foredeck seems to go on forever. If she’s the icing on the cake, then maybe the jacuzzi on the flying bridge is the cherry on top. More...
The Sylvan L-3 DLZ Bar is a 23’10” (7.26 m) boat with triple pontoons and power up to a 150-outboard. She’s rated for 12 people and her aft area sets her apart because it has a raised bar with four fixed stools.

One design element that has been playing a bigger role in the past few years is the rake angle. Let’s take a closer look at how it works. More...
