Glastron GTD 180:
Entry Level Deckboat Seats 10
The Glastron GTD 180, with a LOA of 18'0" (5.48 m), should fit in most garages, yet she's got seating for up to 10. A pedestal table can serve the wraparound cockpit seating or easily move to the bow or to the port side of the cockpit. With a dry weight of just 2,475 lb. (1,123 kg) she's readily towed by most mid-size vehicles. Top speed with a Yamaha F 115 was 41.5 mph. Best of all, her price is competitive with pontoon boats.

Jaguar J32 w/Twin Evinrude
250 E-TEC G2 250 H.O.:
69.8 MPH WOT
The Jaguar J32 is designed and built like a racing catamaran but she’s set up for offshore fishing. She weighs just 3,200 pounds (1,451 kg) dry, and powered with twin Evinrude E-TEC G2 250 H.O. two-stroke outboards, she was blazingly fast, topping out at 69.8 mph. For tournament fishermen, that kind of speed means more fishing time and the ability to reach distant hot spots during tournament hours. Her fuel-efficient, high-tech 2-stroke engines also delivered good range, with best cruise at 45.3 mph and 4000 rpms, at which she can travel 335 SM.

Riviera Belize 54 Daybridge:
Robust Build w/3-Staterooms
The Riviera Belize 54 Daybridge is a solid, well-built three-stateroom yacht that offers a near-custom level of interior fit and finish. Lots of teak adds eye appeal as well as a nod to her classic lines. She's a bluewater-capable cruising sedan that blends a touch of traditional styling with modern functionality. Volvo Penta IPS or Cummins Zeus pod drives provide easy handling around the docks and WOT speeds exceeding 30 knots. She is part of the Riviera family of boats.
