EdgeWater 262CC For fishing and family.

Ten years ago, comments like, “You’re nuts to want a center console on the Great Lakes,” were common. Today, center console popularity has exploded thanks to new designs and creature comforts.

The EdgeWater 262CC is the perfect example. The 26-footer has all the amenities a serious fisherman expects; however, it was also designed to entertain the whole family. EdgeWater’s own Single Piece Infusion technology uses vacuuminfused resin to create a stronger hull.

“SPI construction gives you greater control over the build quality,” says Rick Lucas, founder of Castaway Yacht Sales in Port Clinton, Ohio. “EdgeWater is the best built production boat on today’s market.”

The 262CC packs in features while leaving decks and gunnels uncluttered for fishing. Twin Yamaha 200s are standard, which get you to the fish at 51 mph or pull wakeboards or tubes from a retractable ski pole.

Many features have more than one purpose. Cup

holders double as rod holders, forward seating converts to a sunpad or a stand-up fishing deck. The helm can be equipped with a variety of digital control and electronic options and includes a built-in cooler, tackle storage and a good-sized countertop and sink.

The EdgeWater 262CC’s standard features also include a starboard-side entry door with telescoping swim ladder to make boarding or climbing out of the water a breeze.

It’s easy to see why EdgeWater is a great choice for owners who want versatility and performance in a premium powerboat, but one of the 262CC’s best features is hidden from view. Lift the latch just over the full-width seat on the front of the console to access the huge head, complete with electric flush toilet, sink, shower and storage for the bow table and cushion.

Whether heading offshore after the big ones or dropping the hook for a day at the beach, the EdgeWater 262CC is up to the task. H

HCB 42 Siesta Fishing with a luxurious twist.

One look at the newly revised 42 Siesta from HCB Yachts is all it takes to know the word “yacht” definitely hits the mark.

At 42 feet, the Siesta exudes a balance of grace and muscle. The boat has beautiful lines and gentle curves, but with four Yamaha 425-hp outboards at the transom, the 42-footer can cruise at a comfortable 42 to 50 mph and top out above 67 mph.

On deck, the 42 Siesta has enough fish DNA to satisfy any tournament junkie. However, look past the wealth of rod holders, the triple Garmin electronics array and the dual 45-gallon baitwells and you’ll clearly see the luxury and style underneath.

The helm includes three captain’s chairs at the wheel and a second row of bench seating just aft. A transom sleigh seat is an option. At the bow, wraparound seating with a teak hi-low table is available, while the luxury lounge immediately forward of the console is an ideal spot to sit.

HCB Yachts offers endless customizations to match any owner’s desires. From hull colors and teak enhancements to engine cowlings and even to the console itself — buyers can customize their boat to match their own unique style.

Features include anti-fatigue flooring at the helm, a starboard dive door and a summer kitchen behind the second row helm seat complete with grill, cold storage and sink.

Below the console, the HCB 42 Siesta hides the largest cabin in its class. Materials and colors can be customized here as well, although an enclosed head, pop-up shower, roomy berth and 28-inch TV are standard.

“The 42 Siesta refresh is a complete home run,” says Mathew Ginsberg, a sales professional with Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. “You simply won’t find a better performing, more accommodating 42-foot center console out there.” ★

Pardo 38 A standout Italian vessel.

The Great Lakes have seen an influx of European vessels in recent years. French and British dayboats and coupes are now a common sight in many lakeshore marinas. To stand out from the crowd, look no further than the Pardo 38. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Pardo’s Mediterranean influence is apparent inside and out.

With its reverse bow and clean lines, it appears almost minimalistic. A closer look reveals Pardo’s attention to quality, comfort and style. The Pardo 38 was made for entertaining. Guests can enjoy the large sunpad at the bow of its single-level, walkaround deck or drift back to the well-equipped galley with cooktop, sink and three cold storage spaces. Aft, a 6-person dinette also converts to a huge sunpad.

Below, the forward cabin is roomy and bright. Again, the clean, minimalist appearance hides luxurious touches like reading lamps and USB charging ports at the bedside. Just aft of the cabin steps

and a roomy, full wet head, a half-height mid-cabin can comfortably sleep two adults or children.

As with many Italian products, luxury and performance go hand in hand. Pardo offers a variety of power options for the 38 including sterndrives, diesels and outboards.

“The Pardo 38’s seven different engine packages offer a range of performance options to satisfy all your needs,” says Spring Brook Marina Sales Associate Zach Man. “The standard gas Volvo V6 sterndrives deliver 35 knots, while the triple Mercury 400-hp outboards can push the 38 Pardo past 50 knots.”

One of the Pardo 38’s most interesting features is the anchor locker. With the push of a button, the anchor is deployed straight out of the stem while a hidden hull door slides up and out of the way.

The Pardo 38 packages performance, quality and luxury in a unique package that’s guaranteed to turn heads on the open water or at the dock. H

Tiara Sport 38 LX A worthwhile makeover.

Tiara Sport has never been afraid to challenge the status quo. To prove it, Tiara took its fairly new model, the 38 LS, and used the same hull for yet another new model — the Tiara Sport 38 LX.

The 38 LX is available with three Yamaha 350-hp four-stroke outboards for a comfortable cruising speed of 35 mph and a top speed of 57 mph. Triple Mercury Marine 400 Verado engines or twin 7 Marine 527 V8s are also available options.

Built with a greater focus on dayboat activities, the 38 LX provides more seating space from bow to stern.

“On the 38 LX, every space has a private area,” says Whitney Vishey, Tiara’s director of marketing and communications. “Passengers can really choose how they want to relax.”

Like her sister, the 38 LX has versatile rear seats. Push a pedal and the backrest converts the fore and aft-facing pads into a comfortable lounge. One more push and the seats convert into large sunpads.

The cockpit includes an L-shaped starboard seat and a removable folding table. To port, a large galley includes a grill, ample sink, cold storage and enough counter space that the galley feels like more than a simple afterthought.

The dual console design includes double-wide helm seats that convert to bolsters. The companion seat swivels aft to become part of cockpit conversations.

The 38 LX has two spaces hidden away. At the aft end of the port console, a wide door provides access to a roomy, well-appointed head complete with Corian countertops and a Vacu-Flush toilet. The starboard console hides a large space for storing gear or water toys. The space can also be ordered with heat and air, as well as a mattress.

Like the 38 LS, the Tiara Sport 38 LX is a versatile and luxurious performance dayboat. However, the 38 LX sets a higher standard few others will ever reach. H
