Hatteras M90 Panacera:
HattCON – A High-Tech Total Command System
The helm on the Hatteras M90 Panacera incorporates the HattCON system that uses touchscreen interfaces to control everything on the boat, very much like are found on large commercial vessels. And all of the HattCON screens are weather resistant – we tested it! An integrated camera system, including a night-vision function, is also part of the package. We think this is an important advancement in large motoryacht operation.

Tracker Targa V-20 WT:
Tough Multi-Species Package w/2 Livewells
The Tracker Targa V-20 WT sells for $31,995 including a 150-hp Mercury FourStroke and a color-matched tandem trailer. The all-welded aluminum hull is 0.125” thick, making it tough enough to handle years of bouncing off stumps, rocks, and graveled beaches, and the baked-on painted finish keeps her looking like new. She's loaded for fishing, with 8-foot rod lockers and lighted, aerated, recirculating, fore and aft livewells w/pump-out systems.

Yamaha 210 FSH Sport:
Twin-Jet Ready for Fishing, Towsports
The Yamaha 210 FSH Sport is a rarity in the industry, a twin-jet powered fiberglass boat designed primarily for fishing, but which in reality is used by owners for that and nearly everything else. A reversible backrest on the leaning post provides comfortable seating for making a few casts aft. The Yamaha TR-1 H.O. jets can run in just 17 inches of water, and give her the usual high-speed jet maneuverability when the mission is skiing or joy-riding.
