[December 22, 2009]South Bay 722CR TrifectaThat smooth Teleflex power-assist steering and the careful routing of cables gave us an idea about why this was among our favorite test drives.
-
[December 22, 2009]Princecraft SVX 29 I/O 3The length of the aft swim platform matches the reach of the propellers, protecting swimmers' shins when the boat is at anchor.
-
[December 22, 2009]Playcraft Powertoon 2700 X-TremeThe 2700 X-Treme lifts its bow and carves turns with far more agility than a traditional pontoon does. With the 300 hp motor, we hit 50 mph.
-
[December 22, 2009]Hampton 2485 XLTIt boasts exactly the sort of things you would expect from an up-market brand. What is less expected is this boat’s running performance.
-
[December 22, 2009]Crestliner 2185 EscapeAs economical rides go, you won’t find much better this side of electric power. You could cruise all afternoon at 10 mph (1.5 gph) on a 20-dollar bill.
-
[December 22, 2009]Avalon 26 Paradise 5With a Mercury Verado 275, digital throttle and shift, and hydraulic steering, the boat handled more easily than its 26-foot length would suggest.
-
[December 22, 2009]Voyager VF19 Sport Fish 3It's made to get you down the lake without guzzling gas. At 15 mph, we burned less than three gallons per hour, for a range of more than 100 miles.
-
[December 22, 2009]Sylvan 8522 Signature RPT 7What we found in the tube design of our test boat made it truly unique. The RPT idea is to reduce the friction from the displacement of totally round tubes.
-
[December 22, 2009]Starcraft Stardeck 8522 FishThere are some big features that show just as much boating experience, including the biggest of all: its aft deck arrangement.
-
[December 22, 2009]Sanpan 2500 FE Wet Bar 1It was dusk by the time we made it to the stern, which would have been more appropriate if we’d had the goods to utilize the Corian-topped bar.
