The Fisherman

Introduced at this year’s Miami Boat Show back in February, Cobia’s new 277 center console is a real head turner and represents excellent consumer value from a determined, up-and-coming boat builder.

It’s hard to believe, but maverick boat builder Steve Potts and Scout Boats are celebrating their 25th year in the business!

Hydra-Sports continues to build top-quality sportfishing machines, but over the past few years had evolved into building semi-custom fishing boats for discerning customers.

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.

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.

As we briefly discussed in this year’s Boat Buyer’s Guide, the Tohatsu Motor Corp recently joined into a partnership with Honda Motors back in August of last year and has quickly become a major player in the high-horsepower four-stroke outboard power competition.

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.

Honda’s new BF250 is the new flagship of the company’s proven and popular four-stroke lineup.

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

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

Grady-White’s new Freedom 285 Dual Console appeals to fishing families that also enjoy water sports.
 

Mercury’s 4-stroke, 150hp outboard motor is one of the most advanced ever designed.

Cobia’s 217 CC represents the next step in this builder’s lineup transformation.

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.

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.

A seriously reliable, efficient and value packed outboard engine to consider for your fishing machine.
