Cobia 350 CC Delivering features, speed and versatility.

With so many center consoles being built today, it can be difficult to choose. Cobia’s focus on delivering quality and value has made it one of the top-selling center console manufacturers in the country for boats 26 to 35 feet. Its largest model, the Cobia 350 CC showcases a host of standard features, multiple engine packages, and extensive options to enhance both fishability and comfort.

The Cobia 350 CC is built to ABYC standards by Maverick Boat Group in Ft. Pierce, Florida. It has a double-stepped vacuum-infused hull and premium fade-resistant gelcoat. All composite (no wood) construction increases strength and durability. Manufacturer performance testing with optional triple Yamaha 300-hp F300XCAs yielded an eye-popping top speed of 62.3 mph. Cruising at a more realistic 33.4 mph (3500 rpm), fuel burn was 26.2 gph or 1.27 mpg, demonstrating that the boat can get you to the fish or the party with speed and efficiency.

Standard features include twin 42-gallon bait tanks, large fishboxes below the floor that pump overboard, a bait prep area and tackle storage, including a secure rod locker below. The 131-square-foot cockpit is ideal for fishing with enough room for multiple anglers and easy access to the boat sides and foredeck. Options include twin Garmin 8616 MFDs with CHIRP sonar, a hardtop with rod holders, an Optimus joystick and a Lenco Auto Glide System.

The 350 CC has a cabin with a berth, head and shower, triple helm seats, a sun lounge forward and an electronically lifted bow table ideal for appetizers and cocktails. Comfort options include air conditioning, a refrigerator and a Seakeeper SK2 gyro.

“The Cobia 350 with optional triple Yamahas is fast, smooth riding and has excellent handling,” says Rich Gotlund of Basa’s Marine. “It has plenty of bow seating and is remarkably dry underway. Packed with features, this boat is ready to fish or cruise.” H

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS Delivering the fun.

Outboard power is all about speed, fun and convenience, and Cruisers Yachts of Oconto, Wisconsin, understands this. The all-new Cruisers 42 GLS has all the makings of a party boat, as well as some serious accommodations for overnight cruising.

“Expanding on the popularity of outboard power and the success of our 38 GLS, which launched last year, our new 42 GLS provides more room, more comfort and more fun,” says Matt VanGrunsven, Cruisers’ director of marketing.

Unique beach doors on both sides glide down with the touch of a button to expand the swim platform, forming a closer connection with the water. A long bench seat faces aft with a swiveling backrest that can be adjusted to face the starboard beach door. Stereo speakers, a foldaway boarding ladder and a freshwater deck shower add to the ambiance.

The cockpit lounge wraps around a teak table, ideal for alfresco dining or just enjoying the fresh air. A raised wetbar, sink and refrigerator along the solid surface counter provide easy access to beverages while entertaining. A flat screen TV can be set up for movie night or to watch the game.

The helm has bench seating with bolsters, footrests, and easy access to electronics and controls. A large sunroof in the hardtop slides back to let in the sun. To port, a section of the windshield opens providing access to the bow lounge. Comfortable seating with great views all around will make this a popular spot both at the dock and while underway.

If the day runs too long or the party goes late, below-deck features include a sleeping cabin, a dinette that can convert into a second bed, a head with shower and a full galley. The new Cruisers 42 GLS delivers all the fun of a great dayboat and has enough accommodations to overnight too. ★

Riviera 64 Sports Motor Yacht Another wonder from down under.

The Riviera 64 Sports Motor Yacht is a spacious enclosed bridge cruiser with a lot of amenities. Its styling is reminiscent of a sportfish boat with distinctive hull windows. Though the large cockpit can be fished from, at its heart the 64 SMY is a well-appointed cruiser. Top speed of 30 mph is achieved by two 1,300-hp MAN V-drives and shafts.

The cockpit has yacht-like twin transom doors, an electric BBQ grill and sink. A large semi-enclosed mezzanine features comfortable seating, a varnished teak table, wetbar, fridge, icemaker and a retractable TV. A lifting window and sliding door provide easy access to the adjacent galley and salon.

Brightly varnished wood (walnut, cherry or oak) combine with stone surfaces and plush fabrics to create a lively, contemporary look. The galley rivals some home kitchens, offering refrigerator drawers, freezers and a dishwasher. Suited for meal prep, serving and entertaining, features here include wide counters, abundant storage, a deep sink, Miele three-burner cooktop and a convection oven/microwave.

The bow lounge includes seating for eight around a low table that converts to store a tender when running. The flybridge has twin helm seats and full controls with a great view from the helm. The spacious interior and exterior amenities include multiple lounges and tables, a flat screen TV and a fridge. Inside is heated and air conditioned, and opening windows, doors and a sunroof provide fresh air.

A full-beam master stateroom has an island berth and an ensuite head, which conveniently connects to a utility/laundry room. A queen VIP, a twin cabin that can convert into a double and a bunk room round out the sleeping deck.

“The 64 SMY has been designed equally for blue-water cruising and long-term livability, as much as for luxurious long-weekend escapes,” says Riviera Owner Rodney Longhurst. H

Sunseeker Predator 60 EVO Bright and bold both inside and out.

Sunseeker’s new Predator 60 EVO is ideal for boaters who want to let the sun in. Light bathes the atrium like a glass bubble over the helm and salon areas. Surrounded by the large windshield and side windows, you may feel like you’re outdoors even when inside the air conditioned/heated interior. An enormous sunroof slides back electronically to bring in fresh air. The door and window open completely, connecting the salon to the exterior aft area of the main deck. Comfortable seating, a wetbar and BBQ are featured under the overhanging hardtop, while a large sunpad extends into the open and is ideal for lounging in the sun. Another sunpad on the foredeck provides even more open reclining and a place to get away from the action and relax.

A convenient transom tender garage houses a Williams 345 11-foot Sportjet RIB. This lively little boat provides additional fun whether taking excursions to the beach or simply jetting around in the sunlight.

Sunseeker claims a top speed of almost 40 mph and offers engine packages in various horsepower from Volvo Penta in both shaft drive and IPS pods.

The interior of the Predator is British modern with luxury wood options, contrasting panels and some stainless accents. The galley-down includes a convenient lounging/breakfasting area. The full-beam master suite is well-appointed with a private head and shower, centerline bed, flat screen TV and a good amount of storage. There is also a VIP forward, a second head and a twin bunk cabin below, and a small, separate crew cabin is aft under the sunpad.

“We are excited about this new model. It fits perfectly into a popular segment of boats 50 to 65 feet and is a Predator with a more sophisticated, modern style,” says Jim Kehrig, Sunseeker brand manager at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. “The interior has unique textures, plush fabrics and a rich, classy look and feel.” H
