Galeon 420 Fly | Hatteras M75 Panacera | Formula Paint Process
Galeon clearly considers how real boaters want to use their boats, and then creates its designs accordingly. Some of the innovations on the 420 Fly may be surprising, but there’s some genuine creativity here.
The Hatteras M75 Panacera stays true to her builder’s heritage: Though there are crew’s quarters, an experienced owner will want to run this boat himself. Our test captain discovered all the reasons why.
The durable finish on Formula’s hulls results from a 32-step painting program that begins with wide range of choices of colors and designs. The hulls are carefully masked, then painted with high-grade automotive-type paints, sanded and buffed for hours, and then finished with three coats of UV-resistant clear-coat.
We found some conditions worthy of a test of the Boston Whaler 380 Outrage. She’s a well-equipped fishing platform with plenty of family comforts, with triple 350-hp Mercury Verado outboards.
Mercury's SmartCraft® system includes a full suite of digital technologies integrated and coordinated with Mercury outboards, inboards, and sterndrives. Gauges, sensors, vessel systems, navigation, sonar, and even weather radar are all combined into a total touchscreen package. The system can be upgraded through software, allowing after-market customization.
