Powercat 3100 Sports Cruiser Review
The 3100 Sports Cruiser has a great deal to offer, but few of its many positives present as compelling a case to own one as its rough water ride.
Powercat 2500 Sports Fisherman Review
The Powercat 2500 Sports Fisherman sits on the same hull as the 2600 Sports, but has an all-new interior aimed primarily at serious fishing.
Powercat 3000 Sport Cabriolet Review
There's no denying that these Powercats offer excellent high cruising speeds, but that's not the only reason behind their popularity. The other is the design and layout of the interior of this short-term cruiser.
Precision 58 Review
As I sat in the central helm chair in front of the anodized wheel and the Twin-Disc electronic controls mounted on a leather-bound binnacle, I thought to myself I could get very comfortable with this boat. After sliding out through the Southport Seaway, I was hooked!
Princess V58 Review
There I was behind the wheel of almost 60 feet of luxury cruiser and it handled like a ski boat. Even the V58's turning circle leaves other 58 footers (pardon the pun) in her wake.
