FLORIDA'S HOT SPOT Destin, Florida has been booming for years, and little wonder because of all of great cruising to be had along the Panhandle and the big bend coast line.

TRAWLER TUESDAY The Fleming 55 started it all, but there came a time for a larger boat, and frankly, there is no comparison. With a beam of 17'6" (5.33 m) beam and displacement of 88,000 lb. (40,000 kgs.), she is 1'6" (.45 m) wider and 20,000 lb. (9,090 kgs.) heavier than the 55. Those two greater specs make a huge difference.
CONVERTIBLE Single owner and maintained by a full-time crew she has many original upgrades and custom features including Upgraded MTU 10V2000 M96L 1622 HP Engine Package and a Seakeeper SK 16 Gyro Stabilizer.
PRODUCT REVIEW As a class, pontoon boats can be disappointing on the water. Twin toons are sluggish and tritoons are hard to turn — both are a bear to dock (there's no keel). But toons are affordable, roomy, and a pleasant way to spend a day on a lake. For those toon owners who want to be able to turn on a dime, back down with alacrity and dock with positive control, the Sharrow prop is the answer.
