Boat Reviews

Since 1968, Pro-Line continues to appeal to consumers looking to get max value for their fishing boat investment.

Sometimes our lives just get too complex. If fishing is supposed to take the hard edge off of the usual challenges of work and family, then simplifying your piscatorial adventures can be a good thing. And few boat builders can simplify things better than Allied Boat Works with their 20-foot Fisherman model.

SeaHunter Boats are semi-custom center console sportfishing machines that are designed for those anglers who are seeking a ride that is hi-tech and definitely out of the ordinary.

Robalo’s R180 CC offers big boat fishing and comfort features in a very manageable package.

Time-proven as Cobia’s flagship center console, the 296 CC is currently one of the best deals out there for a seaworthy 30-footer in a crowded marketplace.

Hobie’s Mirage Pro Angler 12 is an impressive new entry in the kayak fishing market.

Sea Hunt is America’s fastest growing fiberglass fishing boat lineup, with a selection of center consoles, dual consoles, walkarounds, offshore and bay boats from 17 to 29 feet.

The new Scout 195SF Center Console is a trailerable sportfisher with plenty of possibilities.

EdgeWater’s new 280CX Crossover is a step up the evolutionary ladder for the continuously morphing dual console design.

With a proven layout, hi-tech construction upgrades and a new manufacturing facility “down east” in Augusta, ME, the Southport 29 CC remains one of the most impressive sportfishers on the market.

The 34 CC was born from the start for go-fast bluewater fishing. It is built Outer Banks tough and can withstand the most punishing offshore conditions while still delivering an outstandingly smooth ride.

Just launched last season, Sportsman Boats is the new kid at the marina for coastal center console sportfishers, but it’s the product of proud parents who have many years of boatbuilding experience.

The Striper Walkaround family includes a quartet of siblings (2101, 2301, 2601 and 2901), with each featuring the flexibility of either outboard or I/O powerplants. In the case of the 2601WA, the cockpit and cabin layouts are similar, with the exception of an engine box set on the centerline of the transom on the I/O version.

Let’s face it, not everyone is cut out for kayak fishing or has the means to buy a bass boat or small center console. Enter Sea Eagle and their mean, green fishing machine officially known as the "New" 285fpb Frameless Pontoon Boat. This ultra-portable boat weighs just 42 pounds, fits in a car trunk and can be ready to fish in just five minutes.

With impressive speed and a hull design that can slice and dice a seaway, Southport’s 27CC resembles one of the ocean’s top predators.

First introduced back in the 2006 season, Regulator’s 29 FS Center Console has evolved into one of the industry’s finest under 30-foot bluewater center consoles.
