Monday #1
QuietKat Electric Bike:
Fold-Away Land Transport w/BoatTEST Discount!
For people who enjoy cruising, a bicycle is a natural addition to the list of gear to have on board. The new QuietKat Voyager Electric Bike seems particularly appropriate since it not only provides pedal-free, silent propulsion at up to 20 mph for many miles, but it also folds down neatly into an available case for storage aboard. An 11-amp hour, Panasonic lithium-ion battery provides power and a handlebar monitor screen lets the rider keep tabs on remaining charge. Fat tires allow it to roll easily over uneven ground and optional saddlebags make it handy to run into town for a bottle of wine or a gallon of milk. Use the special code BOATTEST15 to get a 15 percent discount on QuietKat bikes and most accessories, plus a 10% payment on any purchases to BoatTEST that utilize the code. More...

Outer Reef 610 Motoryacht:
Long Range Cruiser w/Ease of Operation
The Outer Reef 610 Motoryacht is designed for the owner/operator who plans on extended cruises or maybe even retiring aboard. She is fully-equipped to make things easy on the owner with redundant systems throughout and dual helm stations that go beyond the professional level. Power comes from fuel-efficient twin 750-hp John Deer 6135s, which give her a range of over 800 NM at just under 10 knots. More...

Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport:
Easily-Trailered, Easily-Operated
The Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport is a fully-updated version of the first boat of thousands of avid boaters. She still has the classic panache of Boston Whaler but now she rides on an improved bottom with a 13-degree deadrise that promises a smoother ride while still providing an extremely shallow draft of 9” (0.23 cm). At a weight of just 1,005 lbs. (456 kg) including the engine and fuel, she is easily trailered behind even smaller vehicles. Her overall length on the included galvanized trailer is just 18’2” (5.54 m), an easy fit for nearly all garages. Like all Boston Whalers, she has full upright foam flotation -- the company says she will stay afloat swamped with up to 1,525 lbs. (691.73 kg) aboard. But the real story is the fun ride. More...
