Regal LS4 Surf:
Wakesurfing from a Sportboat
Regal’s new LS4 Surf is a 24’2” (7.37 m) Forward Drive-powered sport boat that is designed for people who want to wakesurf and do other tow sports, but who don’t want the limitations of inboard-powered ski/wake boats. Because the LS4 Surf does not have a droopy bow, she is not a one-trick pony, and can go cruising securely, as well as being a tow vessel. She can carry 2,000 lbs. (907 kg) of water ballast. Her double-wide helm seat is electric, and an electric sport arch reduces the boat’s air draft for rack storage. Her stepped hull and 350-hp engines give her a top speed of 54.2 mph – something hard for the inboards to match.

Helm Designed for Professional Captains
What prospective captain wouldn’t like to visualize himself in this pilothouse? The command post of the Hargrave 116 Raised Pilothouse has the same level of elegant fit and finish as the rest of the yacht, and it’s equipped with pretty much every imaginable tool for navigational and operational efficiency and safety. There’s also L-shaped seating for guests to keep the skipper company for a cup of coffee—or for the off-watch captain to grab 40 winks while the on-duty mate mans the helm.

A raw water washdown allows getting rid of mud before it comes aboard.

Robalo 246 Cayman SD:
A T-Top Tower for Better Spotting
With a standard tower and upper helm, the Robalo 246 Cayman SD is a bay boat that will give a skipper a much improved view of the water ahead. The second helm on deck provides a more comfortable spot to run on longer crossings. Note the flip-up seat at the transom—in the down position, it’s part of the casting deck.
