Southport 33 FE:
Excellent Design and Build
The Southport 33 FE, designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates, is one of the best-built, best-finished center console boats on the market, according to our test skipper. Her eye appeal is created by a combination of her graceful S-shaped sheer, a well-executed reverse transom, and tumblehome in the stern quarters. And, her navy-blue hull color doesn’t hurt. She's fully rigged for serious offshore fishing, but also offers comfortable lounge type seating at the bow.

Cheoy Lee Global 104:
2 Salons, 5 Staterooms, Main Deck Master
The layout of the Cheoy Lee Global 104 includes two large salons, one in the skylounge, one on the main deck.

Construction is via resin-infusion and foam coring in bulkheads, hull, and superstructure, cutting weight, reducing draft, and increasing fuel efficiency. Combined with her 5,200-gallon (19,684 L) fuel tankage, this gives her impressive range.

Generator, AC/heat, and power-windlass are all standard, because she was intended for genteel cruising. She comes with power options to twin 430-hp V8s.

How 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke Outboards Work
It may come as a surprise to most people, but a reliable 4-stroke engine was actually patented several years before the 2-stroke engine – making 2-stroke more modern technology. All of this was going on in Europe during the second half of the 19th century. But even though this technology has been around for 150 years or more, most people really don’t know the difference between the basic 4-stroke and 2-stroke design concepts. BoatTEST has made a short, animated video to make it all clear.
