Spring Virtual Boat Show

More than 1,700 Boats on Display

Manufacturers and dealers continue to tell us that recreational boats are in high demand. A handful of in-person boat shows are being held around the country, but none of them even comes close to the number and variety of products in our Virtual Boat Show.

 

BoatTEST.com has the largest array of boats, engines and products in one place. No one comes close to the details that we cover in every video and report we produce. Additionally, there’s no need to worry about vaccines, social-distancing or sweating behind a mask in a hot, humid climate. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or a favorite adult beverage and take some time to shop at your pace.

 

Show Dates are April 6 through June 30 and we are open 24-7.

Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider

Improved w/Outboards

This is smart because Formula didn’t have to radically alter its tooling and the engines can be raised out of the water. Sterndrives are still available. More...
