Carver C52 Command Bridge:
Spacious Flying Bridge Yacht
Headroom throughout the C52 Command Bridge is sumptuous, giving the boat the feel of a larger yacht.
Carver has long been known for providing bang for the buck and lots of accommodations in its yachts. One way that the manufacturer makes its C52 Command Bridge feel more inviting is by designing the boat with extra headroom on every level. On the flying bridge, there’s 6’5” (1.96 m) of clearance under the hardtop. Below in the cockpit, there’s 7’ (2.3 m) beneath the flying bridge overhang. Head into the galley and there’s 7’4” (2.34 m) of headroom, while in the salon, the number drops only slightly to 6’6” (1.97 m). Even belowdecks, the master stateroom has 6’5” (1.96 m). As an added bonus, the master head has one of the largest separate shower stalls we’ve seen in this size and class. More...

Sailfish 241 CC:
Two 24’ CCs – Pick 1 Engine or 2
Sailfish 241 CC with relatively high freeboard for a boat this length.
Sailfish Boats offers two versions of its 24’ (7.32 m) center console, the 242 CC and the 241 CC. The difference between the two is the beam, the weight and the number of outboard motors on the transom. The 241 CC has an 8’6” (2.59 m) beam and is only available with a single outboard ranging from 200 to 300 hp. Its rigged weight is estimated at 5,000 lbs. (2,267.96 kg), while the 242 CC’s rigged weight is 5,600 lbs. (2,540.12 kg) and can handle 2 outboard engines. More...
