We have an opportunity for one of our readers to score a deal on a new 65-footer.
Hello Boater
Formula 310 Bowrider Outboard
Gilded Lilly on the Lake
FOR THOSE WHO'VE ARRIVED. The 31' (9.45 m) Formula 310 BR is loaded with premium features and has a fit-and-finish without peer in class. The metallic paint job is optional -- and the best in the industry -- go for it! We rate her 5 Stars.
HINT OF LATIN FLAIR. Built in Brazil and rigged in Fort Lauderdale, each 290CC can be equipped with four different propulsion options. Her high freeboard provides an extra measure of safety offshore, and her competitive price is attractive.
EFFICIENT POWER The Fleming 78, with twin 1550-hp engines, provides when loping along at displacement speeds, but has the torque to push her relatively fast when wanted. She has a California aft deck/cockpit for entertaining.
OCTOBER 2025 SPLASH DATE. The dealer for a new Princess F65 says this 4-stateroom motoryacht, powered by twin 1300-hp MANs, can be ready just before this winter in the Caribbean. That's perfect timing and the early bird gets the deal.
STARS FOILING AROUND. Icons Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, and Sergio Perez are launching teams in the E1 World Championship. Witness their RaceBirds, hydrofoil speedsters capable of 58 mph fly across the water. This is the future of boat racing, and she's electric!
SECLUDED PARADISE. Weather thwarted initial attempts but aboard a Kadey Krogen 58, a window opened. A 70-mile cruise led to the remote Dry Tortugas. She anchored where history whispers. Snorkel gin-clear waters, explore Fort Jefferson, and witness nature's spectacle, all sans cell service. Dive in; this is just the beginning!
While it was invented many decades earlier, Dick Bertram's "Moppie" is widely credited with popularizing the system.
