[January 31, 2008]Four Winns V378 2The cockpit of the V378 will be more familiar for boaters stepping up from express cruisers because of its open layout and the driver's forward view over the windshield.

[April 25, 2000]Sea Ray 215 Express Cruiser 2Sea Ray's 215 Express Cruiser is a seriously well-rounded boat.

[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]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.

[May 19, 2009]Regal 2860 2The new Regal 2860 gives you everything you'd want in an express cruiser.

[March 31, 2008]Bayliner 300 Cruiser 2You might wonder how a $100,000 price can be construed as a great buy. Go ahead and price out 30-foot weekenders with fuel-injected twin engines, and you'll see why the 300 is at the top of our list.

[March 28, 2008]Monterey 350 SY 2It isn't like you need to charge around at 50 mph on a 35-foot sport yacht. But let's say you're 50 miles from home port. The water's calm, but radar shows a storm approaching. You have a little more than an hour to beat it home. On our test boat, with twin MerCruiser 496 Mags, you could make it - with about 160 gallons (210 gallon capacity) of fuel to spare.

[February 10, 2010]Sea Ray 450 Sundancer 2The 450 Sundancer is a great cruiser that provides wonderful accommodations.

[January 31, 2008]Meridian 341 Sedan 1Meridian has extended the bridge on the 341 Sedan to allow at least six people to cruise on high.
