12/24V Isotherm Refrigeration System

For Retrofit

Technology is moving fast these days and Isotherm makes it possible to upgrade an old boat with its 12V/24V SP Compact Cooling refrigeration units. Virtually everything needed is included in the kit except a battery. The self-pumping refrigeration systems are capable of producing either refrigerator or freezer temperatures. These units feature a clever self-pumping thru-hull fitting that eliminates the fan and the electric pump. This reduces power requirements and consumption. A broad range of sizes are available, handling refrigerator/freezer capacities as small as 4.4/1.5 cu. ft and up to 14.1/4.7 cu. ft. More...

Boston Whaler 240 Vantage

New, Improved Dual Console

When Boston Whaler decided to replace the 230 Vantage with the 240, the company asked customers what they would like to see improved on the new model. One change was the location of the livewell. It was previously mounted underneath a seat in an awkward location. Now the 13-gallon (49.21-L) livewell is in the port quarter where it’s easier to access. The company also added toe rails for more security when working a fish. The new 240 Vantage is a multi-tasking dual console targeted at active families. More...

Most Popular Boat in the Sovereign Boat Club

On the Regal 33 SAV, the gathering areas in the cockpit and bow are linked by a walkway to port.

Finally, she offers overnight accommodations with a queen-sized berth amidships and a berth in the bow as well. No wonder the 33 SAV is one of the most popular boats in Sovereign Boat Club. More...

Outer Reef 610 Motoryacht

Custom-Designed Galley in an LRC

The Outer Reef 610 Motoryacht is a yacht definitely designed to be at sea for extended times. Since this is a semi-custom vessel, the chef can configure the galley any way wanted. In the boat we tested, in addition to the ample countertop space for food prep, there’s lots of storage including overhead and in the pilothouse settee that is intended for larger pots and pans. A pull-out rack between the sink and stove is ideal for spices and there’s a full-height pantry alongside the refrigerator. More...
