Mercury Verado 350
Mercury’s new supercharged, in-line six-cylinder Verado 350, which debuted in February, is now the most powerful outboard in its model family. Mercury says the 350, which operates on 89-octane gas (though 91 octane is recommended for full performance), provides up to 10 percent greater fuel economy than competitors. At 668 pounds, this Verado weighs 95 pounds less than the nearest four-stroke competitor, the company says. The 350 features a cold-air-intake system designed to collect air from outside the cowl and deliver it to the supercharger. Other attributes include the top cowl’s labyrinth design that keeps the powerhead dry, and a styled vented flywheel cover that facilitates engine-heat dissipation. The Verado 350, which comes in Phantom Black, Cold Fusion White or Warm Fusion White, costs $27,505 to $29,725.

A new model line for Sea Chaser, the HFC — Hybrid Fish and cruise — comes in three sizes: 20, 22 and 24 feet. All feature a quick-lift performance hull and composite construction.
For cruising, the HFC line offers a telescopic boarding ladder, an upholstered aft bench seat with an insulated cooler compartment within, and matching U-shaped bow seats with removable cushions and bolster pads. Add the optional freshwater tank and shower and the flip-up console with a step-down changing station and head for comfort and versatility.
Among the 22 HFC’s standard features, anglers will find a 25-gallon aft recirculating livewell with a high-speed pickup, six gunwale rod holders, a 32-gallon in-floor fish box, and cast-net bucket storage. Sea Chaser also adds blue LED underwater lights for every model in this line.
Anglers can opt for a T-top, trim tabs, and either a deluxe leaning post with a backrest and tackle center or a fiberglass leaning post with a sink and additional seven-gallon livewell. Designed for a single outboard, the 22 HFC can handle 250 horsepower.

Few business executives enter the high-risk arena of manufacturing sport-fishing boats saying, “This is the next great way I can make a billion bucks.” Instead, boatbuilders tend to grow up boating and fishing. They are drawn into the game, cognizant of the risks, but focused on the art of boatbuilding as only lifetime watermen can be. Kevin Barker is such a guy, and his goal in founding Barker Boatworks this past summer is to deliver premium fishers. The first Barker is the Calibogue Bay, a coastal bay boat named for the area he fished and boated as a child. Barker approaches his task with all the art and passion a lifetime waterman could. And he further approaches his building process with the practice and technique of a nascar pitman.
With nearly a decade in boatbuilding, Barker drew on nautical designer Michael Peters, whose portfolio includes storied brands like Edgewater, Invincible and Viking. Peters was engaged to develop the Calibogue Bay with a patented stepped-V ventilated tunnel hull. Molds are by the renowned expertise of Marine Concepts. Barker is powering with Mercury, Suzuki and Yamaha, aligning the engineering in his vessels with propulsion technology he admires most.
Calibogue Bay
Barker’s inaugural vessel will beautifully serve Boca Grand Pass tarpon anglers and inshore fishermen who value a rig that holds its own in swift tidal currents. It safely crosses all but the skinniest flats and provides a steady platform for fighting big fish. But the Calibogue Bay has more going on than that. According to Barker, its unique tunnel design has sea-keeping abilities that will make this 25-foot, 6-inch boat ready for a move offshore. Its design boasts large livewells and an open cockpit for securely fighting big fish. The foredeck makes space for experienced fly-casters. Its optional upper station gives the view, control and -convenient entry and egress that tarpon skippers demand.
The Calibogue Bay won’t just be for the hard core, either. The console compartment is designed with A fiberglass headliner, so it’s all nice and finished. Convert it to a head by saying the word. Angler seating is practical and comfortable.
Above all, Barker aims for his factory-direct boats to be investment grade, artistically designed and practical, deadly fishing machines.

While some folks chase the latest rage, others look for the best in proven performers. Still others, like Eugene Uriarte, Black Water Boats creator and designer, couldn’t find either the rage or the proven performers that appealed to his desires and needs in an offshore sport-fishing boat. A steel fabricator by trade, Uriarte spent years designing and building custom homes. It may have been there that he developed his keen eye for custom boats uniquely designed and engineered to pamper the -competitive fishing whims of their owners.
Uriarte’s thumbprint is on each custom-built Black Water, right beside those of the new owners who partner with Uriarte on every step of the build to ensure the luxury, fishability and performance they want is infused in their hand-built fishing masterpiece. Foldaway seating pampers crews on the trek to the grounds. Performance bucket seats give solid support and ultimate control to the skipper. Choose the electronics and stereo system of your dreams. A Black Water’s frills are numerous, but they take away nothing from this brand’s solid, proven construction and tournament-ready fishability.
36 SF
The Black Water 36 SF is beautiful enough to turn heads at the sandbar, but serious fishermen who are committed to their sport gratefully admire the 36’s ability to catch fish — and get to them.
Its 10-foot beam and 36-foot length allow the hull to cut down irreverent seas like a sharpened knife. To enhance its on-plane performance, control and stability, a significant triangular pad is tucked in at the transom. It also provides the perfect place to add CHIRP sonar transducers for optimum performance. You can add up to three livewells and pressurize them with sea chests and powerful pumps.
Black Water uses a modified three-piece mold system. Uriarte’s fabricating skills are evident here in sound structural mold support that ensures rigidity and excellent parity in every boat build. The bottom is formed of solid glass, while the sides and deck are constructed with Core-Cell. All are vacuumed bagged and infused with vinylester resin. The backbone of the 36 SF is a unique pyramid-style, foam-filled stringer system that is bonded to the hull, and designed to distribute load-pressures throughout. The company believes in its hull enough to warranty it for 10 years.
Bahama 34
Stability, control and comfort — in rough or flat seas, and in head, cross or following seas — are hallmarks of a Bahama Boat Works boat.
While it celebrates the speeds that modern boats can reach, the company keeps an eye out for ways in which such drag-reducing features as hull steps can, in some sea conditions, reduce directional stability and efficiency.
Hulls are designed as much for slow speeds — such as when shooting an inlet in a large following sea (“A pleasantly reassuring experience, not an unpredictable, scary thrill ride,” in a Bahama) — as for high speeds. For high speeds, multiple big block outboards like triple 350s on 34 and 37 or quad 350s on the 41 get the work done.
Computer-assisted design of its hulls is informed by more than 80 years of Documented hull research and application, in addition to manufacturing pursued at the leading edge of techniques. “Bahama Boat Works hulls are as symmetrical and fair as modern technology will allow,” the company pledges.
As it says proudly, the company makes safety at sea its first priority
34 Bahama
One’s reaction to the 34 Bahama is immediate: This boat bears clean lines with excellent fit and finish and few obstructions or tangle hazards. It displays its heritage to the larger Bahama boats, the 37 and 41, but in A smaller, more nimble package.
Six inches narrower than the bigger boats, it still carries an impressive sea-taming 10-foot, 6-inch beam. It skips the bow bench seats that its big siblings carry, but it has the same center-console and other features: lockable electronics side-panel cover; lockable rod storage; custom hardtop; streamlined engine rigging; and console with 6 feet, 6 -inches of headroom, ready for optional head, sink and teak.
The 34 can carry up to a trio of 350 hps. A 400-gallon fuel tank guarantees far-ranging abilities. Freshwater tank and baitwell each hold 60 gallons.
Hatch interiors are finished and gelcoated, hatches sealed with a proprietary double-O-ring system. There are both fresh- and saltwater-washdown systems. All lights, navigation and courtesy (including baitwells and all storage compartments), are LEDs, including multicolor cockpit lighting with remote control. Pumps and mechanical equipment are mounted beyond clear acrylic covers that provide easy ACCESS.
Among OPTIONS are removable rear seating and table, custom flush-mount anchor and windlass, powerful bow thrusters, and a fighting chair.
The smallest boat in the line, it’s nonetheless big on features and fishability.
