Dusky 278 Open Fisherman:


Fuel-Efficient w/2 x Evinrude E-TEC G2 150 H.O.

Dusky 278 Open Fisherman

The installation of twin 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC G2 H.O. outboards on the Dusky 278 Open Fisherman has plenty of space on the Dusky Drive bracket to access the engines when necessary, or to step easily onto a dock, since the rigging for each engine is contained completely in a single tube. At WOT she ran 45.4 mph. At best cruise she got a total of 2.6 mpg. Note the upswept sheer on the bow, and the chine reaching far forward, for better spray protection.

Advanced Build, 4 En Suites

MCY 80

With her Portuguese bridge, low tophamper flying bridge and sweeping sheer, the Monte Carlo Yachts 80 cuts a handsome figure wherever she goes. She’s designed to entertain a crowd while simultaneously providing cruising comfort for at least eight in her four en suite staterooms belowdecks. The construction process includes vacuum-infusion, Kevlar and carbon fiber in the laminate and aluminum beams to support the decks, resulting in a relatively light but very strong build.

Sea-Doo Spark Trixx:


Quick, Agile PWC w/Entry-Level Pricing

Sea-Doo Spark Trixx

The agile Sea-Doo Spark Trixx welcomes trying a few tricks, including some that may end with you in the water, but that's part of the fun, our test rider reports. This PWC has entry-level pricing, but many added features like the company's IBR intelligent braking and reverse system, off-throttle steering, adjustable handle bars and extended range trim give it an upscale ride. Bold colors and the "exoskeleton" hull design should make it a big hit with younger riders.
