Compare 51 Fishfinders—Price, Size, Quality
Electronics companies make scores of different fishfinders ranging from handheld, to clamp on, to flush mount. Screen sizes vary from just a couple of inches to as large as any screen that can be fitted on a boat. These sounders look down, forward and to the sides, and some can detect fish deeper than your line will reach.

Fleming 58:
Twins More Fuel-Efficient than a Single
Here's a sight any owner/operator will love – the well-designed and brightly-lit engine room of the Fleming 58 with standup headroom. We tested her with 800-hp MAN engines and found her to be more fuel-efficient at displacement speeds than a lighter trawler with a low-hp single engine. Her range exceeds 1,000 NM at 10 knots. And, she can go 20 knots in a pinch.

Riviera 575 SUV:
Broad-Beamed Multi-Mission Cruiser

Her 16'10" beam, wider than many in class, not only provides added living space, but also contributes to beam stability at displacement speeds. But she’s versatile in other ways, too:
