Hello Boater
Brabus Shadow 1500
A New Breed of Superboat
GERMAN-FINNISH FUSION Born from a partnership between a high-performance German automotive brand and a respected Finnish boat builder Axopar, the Brabus Shadow 1500 is a statement of intent. She combines a sleek, muscular exterior with a 1,500-horsepower powertrain and a twin-stepped hull. This isn't just a superboat; she’s an event on the water.
QUIET CONFIDENCE Everglades builds her hulls with a patented foam core process for a ride that’s incredibly solid and quiet, backed by a lifetime warranty. That’s a serious foundation for a boat that transitions from chasing fish offshore to a day of family fun. With her convertible seating and smart storage, the 315CC makes it easy to do both.
DOWNEAST STAYING POWER From a distance, in profile, only a trained eye could tell the difference between a 2009 Hinckley 44 Talaria and a brand new Talaria 43 Mark III. The new version has a lot more tumble home in the stern quarters, larger air intakes on the cabin sides, but other than that, a foot more of beam is the most distinguishing characteristic – from a distance. The 2009 Talaria has aged well; the cozy, traditional interior of this boat looks none the worse for wear.

In standard navigation light illustrations, a vessel's port (left) side is designated with a red sidelight that shines from the bow to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam, for a total arc of 112.5 degrees. "A" in the illustration would typically represent this light and its visibility arc.
