Regal 42 Fly:
Easy to Operate, Move-Up Vessel
The Regal 42 Fly could be an owner’s first twin-engine yacht and she’s set up to make it easy for an owner to step up with Volvo Penta IPS 600s and joystick. Her upper and lower helm stations are on the starboard side of the boat, and a window alongside the lower station opens so the captain can lean out and keep his hand on the joystick while backing into a slip. Regal uses Volvo Penta’s glass dash with a single Garmin 16” (40.64 cm) screen that provides all course and engine data on a single display. More...

Grady-White Canyon 271:
Multi-Use Bluewater Center Console
Grady-White has been building center consoles for more than six decades, so the Canyon 271 has the fishing amenities and range that serious anglers need – that’s why she’s called “Canyon.” And, when customers asked the company for more seating, Grady developed seatbacks for the bow lounges that fold in and double as bolsters in the gunwales. There’s also a doublewide seat on the front of the console, and Grady has made fold down transom seats for years. There is also standup headroom for most people inside the console. More...

Yamaha GP1800R SVHO:
Customization Features for Better Handling
It’s easier to go fast on a personal watercraft like the Yamaha GP1800R SVHO when the rider is comfortable, so the machine has features that allow for customization. The handle bar angle or tilt can be adjusted, there are contoured grips and the GP1800R SVHO has Yamaha’s RiDE Technology. With the engine running, give the left trigger a quick pull to put the craft in neutral. At high speed, hold the left trigger to decelerate and there’s still active steering while slowing. Keep holding it and the machine will start to reverse. Part of being comfortable is feeling in control. More...

Boating Tips
The Benefits of Jackplates
For boaters and anglers who spend time in shallow water, a hydraulic jackplate can be a worthwhile investment. The ability to elevate the lower unit of an outboard engine at the touch of a button increases a boat’s functionality and versatility and can even be used to enhance efficiency. More...
