Everglades 335CC:
RamCap Sets Her Apart
Because all users seem to be asking more of their boats, manufacturers often design and equip them for primary and secondary missions. The Everglades 335CC is designed first and foremost to provide the equipment and ride that serious anglers want in a boat that can safely handle real offshore conditions. She’s also expected to provide a comfortable environment for family and friends for a picnic, and so has a table forward and comfortable seating. But, to our mind, the most important feature of all for both anglers and families is Everglades’ patented RamCap construction system. It means that even if swamped, she will float level, something that is reassuring when taking the family across the Gulf Stream. More...

Formula 45 Yacht:
Elegant Cruiser: Black-Tie Optional
The largest boat in the Formula fleet, the 45 Yacht is a shining example of what this family-owned company is all about. She has the performance and handling we expect from folks who spent decades building offshore boats. The Porter family at the helm of the company uses these boats and knows its customers want a comfortable, luxurious yacht that can be equal parts black-tie entertainment platform and weekend getaway bungalow. She also comes with Formula Flex so an owner can customize the 45 Yacht to his and her heart’s content. Its Formula Guard is one of the best 5-Year warranties in the business. More...

Prestige 590:
Built w/Thoughtful Amenities
The 590’s bow sunpad is one of the largest in class.
When Prestige Yachts designed the 590, the manufacturer kept pace with several trends that remain prevalent in the marine industry. Belowdecks, the owner has private entry to his stateroom, which is more private when cruising with another couple. On deck, the bow sunpad is among the largest we’ve seen, and it makes good use of the boat’s square footage. The aft galley window opens with the sliding door to better link the cockpit and salon to create a large entertaining area. Finally, dropping the lower sill of the salon windows below the furniture tops brings in more light and improves views. More...

First Cox Diesel Outboards
Heading to North America
The first Cox CXO300s for the U.S. market are boxed up and ready to go.
Following the delivery of Cox Powertrain’s first production CXO300 diesel outboard to its distributor in Singapore, Cox is preparing its next shipment to the U.S., where Florida-based distributor Ring Power is patiently waiting for their arrival.
Cox says the majority of its customers are in North America and Rick Chapman, the Cox business manager at Ring Power, said many customers have shown interest in the diesel-burning 300-hp outboard. The company is going to re-power its Intrepid Nomad 345 demonstration boat from pre-production CXO300s to production units. Then, Ring Power will take the boat on the road to show off the motors to prospective customers.

Yamaha FX SVHO:
Top Shelf Performance and Luxury
Yamaha’s FX SVHO is the personal watercraft equivalent of a BMW M5 or a Mercedes-Benz AMG model, a luxury model with the performance to back up those good looks. She’s powered by Yamaha’s race-proven Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) 1.8-liter supercharged 4-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that produces 20% more output than its predecessor. The watercraft also has Yamaha’s RiDE technology with reverse control and braking on the left handlebar and cruise control to make it easier to maintain no-wake speeds. She even has power trim. The cruiser seat can accommodate three passengers and a fold-out step facilitates re-boarding. More...
