LIGHTWEIGHT DIESEL ENGINE TAKES AIM AT U.S. MARKET
Many years of marine propulsion research and development have yielded one of the lightest, most efficient diesel engines on the market. STEYR MOTORS, now establishing its distributors in the US, offers its best alternative to 8-cylinder gasoline engines-the 250-hp MO256H45.
Extended combustion research work and fine tuning has resulted in an extremely compact, "design-for-the-future" diesel engine. This rugged, 4-stroke, turbocharged and intercooled powerplant is based on the time-proven model 236. It features innovative breathing and charging systems, as well as reinforced piston and injection systems.
It is intended as a fully competitive diesel alternative, and particular attention is paid to the dynamics of acceleration. The 256 Monoblock is enhanced with Holset turbocharger technology and STEYR's powerful, 2-stage Unit Injector system to become a very competitive replacement for V-8 gasoline engines...

Kuipers Shipyard in Holland is pleased to announce the signing of the contract for the first ever Kuipers Doggersbank. The 31-metre (102’) Beothuk will be built for a repeat customer, who’s previous boat, a Doggersbank Offshore 84' also named Beothuk, was delivered by Kuipers Shipyard in May 2002.
As with all Doggersbanks, the core design for the new Beothuk comes from the boards of Vripack International Naval Architects. Normally a Doggersbank Offshore project is finalised between the owner and Vripack, then tendered out to select yards for a bid package. Kuipers has won the contract to build a significant number of Doggersbanks Offshores in the past. In addition to the first Beothuk, other highly successful projects include the 85' Kathleen (the very first Doggersbank Offshore), the 84'Aisling, the 83' Coy-Koi and the 95'Alexa-s...

If there is one word most often used as an expression when beholding today’s yachts… it is WOW! But a simple exclamation alone cannot begin to describe Burger’s latest launch. There is fine line between creating a traditional yacht and a modern yacht, a line that Burger has blended brilliantly through the years.
A delicate disbursement of today’s technology and yesterday’s grace are among the many reasons that Burger yachts have always been a preferred choice of yachtsmen, who hold the Burger name in the greatest of esteem. This is the same reason that Burger’s command one of the highest resale values in the used market...

Yacht designer Greg Marshall, went back to the drawing board to fashion Horizon’s brand new 70 motor yacht, and in the process gave birth to a completely new concept. This is a Horizon production yacht with a custom layout – one that can readily be labeled “semi-custom.”
Horizon-70’s sleek craftsmanship displays its fine design elements, but barely hints at the volume of room supplied in this yacht. Horizon’s meticulous quality control and excellent manufacturing processes make this 70 M/Y an outstanding mid-size megayacht...

Hatteras’ brand new H-68 Convertible wraps the distinctive nees of sportfishing into a dream-boat package, for the yacht owner who settles for nothing but the very latest innovations. No question; the H-68 is a yacht for the owner who is driven to be a force in sportfishing. These are very special yachts, for very special people.
The sportfishing yacht itself is a tricky challenge; it must deliver the speed and safety to get “out there”, the finest in cruising comfort, plus the most productive arsenal for finding and landing outstanding fish. Whether it’s for tackle-busting, a world-record marlin or Top Gun in a Release Tournament... Hatteras, a company with a half-century of credentials, delivers what sportfishermen want, and need...

MAGMA ANNOUNCES BIGGEST GOURMET GRILL...
Magma Products' newest and largest Gourmet Grill, the Monterey, boasts 420 square inches of grilling area—large enough to provide an onboard banquet for the hungriest of crews.
The Monterey's rectangular housing/grill area features 100% mirror-polished stainless steel construction, reliable Piezo ignition, double-lined inner safety shells, front-access lock-in, and slide-out grease trays. Closely placed grill grate struts keep small items from falling through the cooking surface.
The Monterey is equipped with an oversized, hinged, balanced lid to accommodate large cuts of meat, fish or fowl, but won't accidentally slam shut when the boat rolls. A stainless steel thermometer is mounted inside the grill lid. When not in use, all of the grill's components lock securely into place.
The Monterey uses readily available 1-pound disposable propane canisters, or easily adapts to onboard LPG (propane) or CNG (natural gas) systems...

ACTUATOR PLACES A SMOOTH RIDE AT THE FINGERTIPS
Glendinning Marine Products' Smart Actuator takes the fight out of balky engine and transmission linkage systems and gives boaters complete control of speed plus forward and reverse — with a single lever.
The Smart Actuator, used with Glendinning's Model CH2001 control head, creates a smooth arc of finely controlled power, even on throttles and gears linked by inferior-quality control cables. With Glendinning's Complete Control electronic engine control system, the boater can regulate speed and direction with accuracy and ease.
The EEC system with Smart Actuator provides sensitive throttle and gear response for sidling up to a dock, towing, anchoring or slow maneuvers that require precision handling. The EEC system utilizes CANbus interface technology, which simplifies wiring and allows greater flexibility when adding control stations...

PEERLESS PORTS PROTECT IN ALL CONDITIONS
Few port windows can claim to be watertight, provide varying, measured degrees of ventilation, ease-of-use and distinctive looks. But New Found Metals' Tri-Matrix, caulkless, self-sealing ports are that and more.
Made of 316/316L stainless steel and ABS weather - resistant copolymers, the port is light weight and strong. Stainless steel bands accent the interior and exterior rings while anchoring two cam dogs and a double hinge and the main frame’s polymer has UV inhibitors which resist fading from the sun.
Tri-Matrix ports are a good alternative for the boater who dreads going to battle with a messy caulking gun to replace old, unattractive port windows. The ports' bolt-through construction is engineered for a permanent dry-fitting as the plates compress a ring of closed-cell,
silicon foam to half its thickness.
The compressed foam seals the outside edges of the port from the elements...

Few yachts are as striking to behold as Kaiserwerft’s new “Perfect Harmony”. Sporting more curves than Mulholland Drive, the latest Baron 102’ completes a trilogy of launches by Kaiserwerft, who’s previous yachts include Ocean of Love and C’est la Vie.
The Baron’s somewhat fusiform shape embodies an anatomical form that can only be described as “shark-like”, with gills on each side and aft ledges reminiscent of dorsal fins...

Lucky number 7 in Trinity’s Victory Lane series is “Janie”, a classic, American-style 157’ tri-deck motor yacht, noted for luxuriant elegance and praised for allegiance to a particularly stylish mode. Janie is only one example of the many beautiful yachts built by Trinity, but her architectural allure is more than hull deep.
Marked by exemplary design as well as graceful demeanor, the lady Janie has managed a few departures from the norm and even enticed a new owner who could not resist her considerable charms...

Volvo Penta is now launching a new propulsion system for boats – the Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System).
The new system is proposed to make boats faster, stronger, quieter, cleaner and just as easily maneuverable as a normal passenger car.
In simplified terms, the new system features propellers that are turned in the direction in which the boat is traveling. Volvo Penta has placed pulling and counter-rotating propellers through the bottom of the hull, which provides the boat with significantly improved performance, compared with traditional shaft installations...
