[January 11, 2008]Maxum 2900 SE 2We tested the Maxum twice in late 2007. The first time was with standard engines and stern-drives. It was a great ride. Then, at a second test, the boat was surrounded by techie guys in navy Mercury shirts with clipboards. It had something different at the helm. The techs were silent as we stepped aboard and proceeded without a briefing.

[January 7, 2008]Doral Venezia 2This may be a pocket cruiser in size, but Doral has concentrated on making sure that with it the boater has everything necessary to enjoy long stays on the water.

[January 7, 2008]Boston Whaler 345 ConquestThe Whaler is built to fish, but many buy it for the aggressive look with family comforts -- a need filled by foldaway benches that convert fish-fighting space to lounging space.

[January 7, 2008]Bayliner 340 2Bayliner is happy to say it offers the most affordable boating opportunities on the water. With that in mind, we stepped onto the 340's wide, nonskid transom platform and through the boarding door with a critical eye toward shortcuts. What we found was practical, affordable, easy-to-maintain fun.

[January 2, 2008]Rinker 260 EC 2With a little studying, you can start to call urban structures by their architects. Well-known designers create certain fingerprints on the outsides of buildings with a specific feel inside. We find that true of Rinker boats, too. When testing the 260 Express Cruiser, we could have covered up the brand references in the boat and known from its tight cornering that it was a Rinker.
