Scout’s new 225 XSF offers Fisherman readers a unique 22-foot trailerable sportfisher.

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.

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.
