Nordhavn’s N51 is a 50’9” (15.47 m) long-range cruiser with a pilothouse that’s laid out and equipped for overnight passage-making and watch systems.

We often applaud Formula for boats like its 270 Bowrider with her high-gloss painted graphics, plush upholstery and luxury appointments. Sometimes, it’s what’s behind the shiny finish that’s just as important. First, the boat has a 10-year structural warranty. Second, there’s Five-year Formula Guard protection that covers all the components that normally have a one-year protection plan. When maintenance is needed, an owner can go to one of 125+ authorized Formula Service Centers. And, if something happens during mid cruise, there are Technical Assistant Group phone numbers that provide help 24-hours a day, including weekends and holidays. More...

Just tell your friends that you saw her here first. This 65’ (19.8 m) Fleming just came on the market a couple of days ago and our guess is she will not have to wait long for a buyer since there is nearly a 2-year wait for a new build. While she’s only 10’ (3.04 m) longer than the 55, her displacement is 70% greater. More...
When an angler is looking at a fishing boat, one of the features that should get serious attention is the livewell. Don’t assume that the standard livewell will suit your purpose. For example, it may be too small for the size and amount of bait you need. Baitfish need to be alive and kicking if they’re going to be at their best and a buyer needs to know what to look for in a properly designed and sized livewell. Click to get the details...
