Princess F62

The Importance of Proper Attitude

To make the Princess F62 ride at a more level attitude through the power curve, designer Bernard Olesinski added hook to the aft ends of the propeller tunnels. This raises the stern and forces down the bow, creating a flatter ride at nearly all planing speeds. More...

Grady-White Express 330

Three-Season Boating

One big draw to the Grady-White Express 330 is the range of hardtop options. The standard top has a radio box, storage net, spreader lights and curtains.

The Caribbean's 3-Ring Circus

The islands of the Caribbean divide into convenient groups of cruising territories. Three of the most popular are St. Martin, Anguilla and St. Barts and the reason why is their diversity.
