Monte Carlo Yachts 105:
Foredeck Fit for Cleopatra
About 10 years ago builders of large motoryachts started turning the “wasted” space of the foredeck into an entertainment venue. One of the best executions of the concept, we think, is the foredeck of the new Monte Carlo Yachts 105. It provides an enormous entertainment venue, safely accessed while underway – at displacement speeds – thanks to high bulwarks and railings guarding the side decks. At anchor, with the addition of a white diaphanous awning, the deck would be fit for Cleopatra.

TRACKER® Targa™ V-20 WT:
Egg Crate Design for Strength
The Targa V-20 WT has a substructure designed much like a 30-dozen cardboard egg crate which supports tremendous weight and keeps the contents unbroken. In this case, the all-welded design not only adds stiffness to the hull bottom, but it also supports the boat’s marine plywood deck. That means even portly anglers need not worry about deck deflection.
