Boat Reviews

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.
