Riviera 61 Enclosed Flybridge, Its very clear this Riv 61 is both an entertainer and long-ranger.
Black is the new black. And it looks as good as it ever has shining on the topsides of the Riviera 61 Enclosed Flybridge. Riv's 61 needs its stylish looks to steal some attention from the big 70 la… MODERN BOATING REVIEW
Sunrunners new layout of its 4800 Sports Cruiser balances indoor luxury with alfresco life.
There is a certain irony in the fact that this latest version of Sunrunner's 4800 is labelled the Euro.

This modern fibreglass hull utilises the latest in technology to deliver a seriously smooth ride.
Haines Group technicians first used new resin transfer technology to produce components of a (then) new 675F model we tested in Modern Fishing's April '08 issue. Then they went on to de… MODERN BOATING REVIEW
Yamba Welding and Engineering Pro Punt - Day Tripper, A new breed of punt is bringing luxury to this reliable fishing platform

This couple of cuddy cabins are comfortable and reliable fishing platforms.
These Melbourne-built boats are a timely reminder that not all good fishing boats are built somewhere up north. The two tested here, like peas in a pod, are different-sized versions of the same thing—one is a bit bigg… MODERN BOATING REVIEW

SCOTT AMON
Built for serious fishing, the Steber 3800 also offers the luxuries of a cruiser.

Fishing, family cruising or watersports?
Stacer's all-rounder covers it all.
