Sea Ray SDX 250 OB:
Ready for a Swim Party
[](https://www.boattest.com/review/sea-ray/3930_sdx-250-outboard)
[Sea Ray SDX 250 OB](https://www.boattest.com/review/sea-ray/3930_sdx-250-outboard)
The Sea Ray SDX 250 Outboard has a much broader and more useful swim platform than what is seen on a number of outboard-powered boats. Note how the rigging in the splash well is covered by the center piece and the entire deck is covered in cool-to-bare-feet non-skid material. The port seat here flips up to reveal board storage, a plus compared to having to drag the equipment through the cockpit from the typical in-deck compartment. But there is much more to this new boat.

Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht:
Multi-Mission Live-aboard Sportfisher
[](https://www.boattest.com/review/riviera/3809_72-sports-motor-yacht_rel2963)
[Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht](https://www.boattest.com/review/riviera/3809_72-sports-motor-yacht_rel2963)
Most multi-mission yachts are actually strong in one suit but weak in others. The Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht has all of the bones to be a full-on long distance live-aboard cruiser, a serious bluewater sportfisher, and an entertainment platform for nights in port. With a 2,774-gallon (10,501 L) fuel capacity, she can travel over 1,400 NM at 11 knots for open sea passages. When it comes to sportfishing, she has a teak-decked 175.7 sq. ft. (16.32 sq. m) cockpit that is large enough for a full-sized fighting chair, two transom doors for getting the big one aboard, a bait freezer and two fishboxes with overboard drains.

Palm Beach 55:
Long, Low, Sleek and Downeast
[](https://www.boattest.com/review/palm-beach/3838_55_rel2985)
[Palm Beach 55](https://www.boattest.com/review/palm-beach/3838_55_rel2985)
The Palm Beach 55 is long, low, and sleek. Nevertheless, her clever builder found space to fit a 10’ 8” (3.25 m) tender with an outboard into her transom. As the hatch rises, it raises the tender with it into a launching position. The dinghy can be loaded through a separate hatch in the aft deck while the garage is closed. Like all of the models from the builder, she features an interior that's loaded with finely-finished solid Burmese teak. [ More... ](https://www.boattest.com/review/palm-beach/3838_55_rel2985)
## Captain's Report
Grady-White Canyon 456:
Fully-Loaded for Competition Fishing
[](https://www.boattest.com/review/grady-white/3752_canyon-456)
[Grady-White Canyon 456](https://www.boattest.com/review/grady-white/3752_canyon-456)
The new Grady-White Canyon 456 is loaded with a list of extras that make her a match for the largest inboard diesel sportfishers -- and it doesn’t hurt that she’s considerably faster than any of them. Powered with quad Yamaha 425s turning 21” pitch props, she topped out at 58.0 mph in company tests. The cockpit includes AC/heat vents directed to those in the aft-facing center seat, allowing fishermen to stay comfortable no matter what the temperature. AC/heat and a 12 kW generator are standard, as is a Sea-Keeper gyro stabilizer. A 24" electronic display mount is on the transom so the aft-facing crew can see the fish sounder, GPS positioning and even watch fish rising to the lure if a UW camera is installed.

## Safety Tips
The Invisible Killer:
Carbon Monoxide
[](https://www.boattest.com/view-news/60_beware--carbon-monoxide-is-an-invisible-killer)
[Think you're seasick? It could be Carbon Monoxide (CO), which has symptoms similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.](https://www.boattest.com/view-news/60_beware--carbon-monoxide-is-an-invisible-killer)
Carbon monoxide (CO) can affect people onboard whether you're underway, moored, or anchored if an engine or generator are running. You cannot see, smell, or taste CO and it can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal. Early symptoms of CO poisoning include irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness, and dizziness. They are often confused with seasickness or intoxication, so those affected may not receive the medical attention they need.

**[Sometimes it's not what you know, but what you've forgotten. We have the perfect solution for you.](https://www.boattest.com/misc/CapSteve-DVD-Purchase-confirm.aspx)**
Based on the feedback we've been getting about BoatTEST.com's Video Boating Course, it's clearly not only for beginners but for veteran boaters as well. Perhaps that is why the NMMA started promoting the course after just one look. It's the most complete boating course available... period.
