Monday #1
Boston Whaler 380 Outrage:
Designed for Offshore Challenges
The redesigned Boston Whaler 380 Outrage has a dramatic increase in deadrise from the original, from 15-degrees to a whopping 23-degrees for a dramatic improvement in rough-water ride. The design extends the sharp deadrise well amidships to deliver a more comfortable ride at the helm. A running pad with minimal rocker angle helps the boat plane easily, minimizing bow rise, and increasing visibility at all speeds. The “dynamic running surface” trim tab system incorporates large triangular planes integrated in the running surface to increase lift and effectiveness compared to traditional transom-mounted tabs.

Hampton Yachts Endurance 658 LRC:
Portuguese Bridge/Excellent Foredeck
The Hampton Yachts Endurance 658 LRC is a classic long-range cruising yacht, with some extras like the Portuguese bridge and bulwarks all the way to the bow that make her particularly good for working the foredeck in challenging conditions. A Muir 3500 dual anchor winch with a 1,100 lb. (50 kg) Bruce polished stainless steel anchor and 350’ (107 m) of chain are standard. To both port and starboard the pilothouse is fitted with watertight pantograph doors leading to the sidedecks.

Ocean Alexander 90R Motoryacht:
Aggressive Styling, Innovative Design
Every yacht builder terms their latest line as “innovative”, but the Ocean Alexander 90R Motoryacht truly does offer a number of features that appear to be new to the genre. The “Beach Deck” is truly innovative, with a lounging area/sun room opening directly to the swim platform at water level. A wet bar, refrigerator, and icemaker are standard here, and the sliding glass doors have an inflated gasket to ensure that water stays out, meeting Sea State V structural requirements, according to the builder. The teak decking is optional.
