Undoubtedly the most successful Boat Show for some time; the Show was busy for the whole four days with a steady stream of people coming through from Thursday morning right up till the close on Sunday.
The star of the Show was the magnificent new model Boston Whaler 370 Outrage with people queuing along our stand to have a closer look.

With eighteen boats on display including Sea Ray Sports Boats and Cruisers, Qwest pontoon boats, Boston Whalers and MasterCraft wakeboard boats our stand was the major drawcard. At the end of the Show QMC had added a whole lot of new members to the Sea Ray Owners Club.

MasterCraft are recognized as the leading builder of Ski and Wakeboard boats worldwide.

Quality + Innovation is what separates MasterCraft from the rest of the pack. Mastercraft were founded on a very simple premise: to build a better boat. That mantra still rings true today, as the company is dedicated to building the most innovative and reliable water sports boats in the world. You’ll find these features in almost all areas of the product line, from the way Mastercraft lay up the fiberglass for the boat structure, to the intricate attachment of all external parts, right down to the exclusive billet aluminum appointments that are built to exact standards.

The style of a MasterCraft is unmistakable. It’s also incomparable. Mastercraft has been as much about breaking tradition as setting the bar, moving forward when most of the industry moves sideways. While the competition continues to follow each other, Mastercraft set trends with bold, new shapes, colors, designs and fine details to give their boats a distinct personality all their own.
A boat isn’t defined merely by its ability to move through water, but to move you. At MasterCraft, they carefully carve every groove, soften every corner and position each feature and component with materials, design and color that put their boats in motion, even when they’re sitting perfectly still. Mastercraft weave the threads of style and innovation into the entire fleet, epitomized by their unique ability to blend hand-laid fiberglass with intricately-sculpted billet aluminum appointments, using hundreds of individual pieces fashioned by elite cutting and shaping technology. Unified, they form the true iconic MasterCraft — a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Their passion for design and performance is evident in MasterCraft’s newest innovation, the BIG (Boat Instrument Gauge) Screen, a beautiful, crystal clear 6″ display that is more computer than gauge.
Sure, style is subjective. But it’s also standard on every MasterCraft.
Since its first hull hit the water four decades ago, MasterCraft has been obsessed with performance at every angle. The world record-setting heritage is evident in every boat Mastercraft design, build and deliver. Every facet of a MasterCraft’s legendary performance, no matter how minute, is analyzed and perfected, from the cup of each propeller to the downward angle of the lifting strakes - even down to the way Mastercraft hand test every single boat they build. That’s thousands of components, synchronized perfectly to produce the best skiing, handling and performing boat money can buy.

There are few things in life that give a grown man goosebumps like the growl of V8 power dressed up in black and stainless steel. MasterCraft celebrates over two decades of partnership with Indmar Marine Engines by offering its most complete line of engines in history. Where most competitive base engine offerings are still carbureted, all MasterCraft engines are once again standard with multiport fuel injection and second generation Digital Throttle Control technology, making your boating experience easier, safer, and more reliable than ever. Our torque-filled RTP-1 (310 hp), steady and strong MCX (350 hp), bullet-proof LY6 (400 hp), and meaty L-18 (450 hp) are the backbone of a lineup that has earned Indmar many industry awards. Grrrrrrrr.

Standards are, by definition, the little things you don’t have to pay extra for. At MasterCraft, our designation is quite a bit different. Mastercraft believe that every customer deserves the best they can offer, to benefit from our four decades in the boat building business. Mastercraft are a company built on the experiences and desires of people who want the best. Their line-up of standard features reflects that commitment like no other boat company can.

While items like billet aluminum appointments, multi-port fuel injection, bolster seats, coolers, superior JL Audio speakers, premium diamond pleat vinyls and others are offered as options on other boats (or not at all), MasterCraft includes them in each boat Mastercraft assemble. The MasterCraft experience isn’t simply about building the best boat they can, but providing the most enjoyable and rewarding boating experience possible. Mastercraft have taken the guesswork out of what to look for. So instead of asking, “What’s included in a MasterCraft?” the better question may be, “What’s not?”
Because, simply “standard” on a MasterCraft is not an option.

New Release Boston Whaler 220 Outrage now available for inspection.

The all new 220 Outrage is small enough to trailer and tough enough to bring big water down to size. With an improved running surface and Mercury outboard choices ranging from the standard 225-hp engine to an optional 300-hp Verado, it delivers exceptional performance and a smooth, dry ride.

Review from Sport Fishing magazine by Dean Travis Clark

The new model 220 Outrage features significant hull improvements over previous Whalers, resulting in one of the company’s best rides ever.
As you’d expect from an Outrage, it’s full-featured from the start and abundantly roomy. In addition, a long list of options and accessories means owners can rig the 220 any way they want.

Performance

The 220 offers a choice of engines, including the 225 hp Mercury Verado that we tested, 250 and 300 hp Verados as well as twin 115 hp outboards. Our 225 lifted us to a top end of 40, using 90 litres per hour, and a cruise of 23 knots at 4,000 rpm while burning 32 litres per hour, which calculates out to a respectable 1.3 kilometres per litre.
The 300 raises the top speed to 47 knots at almost 113 litres per hour, and a cruise of 25.4 knots at 4,000 rpm provided the most efficient fuel flow of 1.11 kilometres per litre. Remember, however, the 300 requires at least 91 octane fuel.
I found it interesting that the twin 115s tally virtually identical performance figures — from stopped to top end — as the 225, and every engine package performed similarly up to 2,500 rpm.
Returning the boat to its trailer in a crosscurrent proved a piece of cake, as the 220 didn’t fly sideways too quickly and responded to idle-speed wheel corrections instantly. I also thank Whaler for wisely including the Lenco trim tabs as standard fare instead of optional as in previous models.

Fishing

Whaler offers an optional “fishing package” that includes cockpit coaming pads, a raw-water washdown, macerator pumps in the fish boxes and additional transom-mounted rod holders. Interestingly, the 20-gallon livewell with knife and pliers holder, cockpit toe rails and downrigger-ball holders come standard. Go figure.
One feature I really like is the under-gunwale stern cleats with large hawseholes in the cap rail. You’ll never fear snagging a fishing line on a transom-mounted cleat; plus, each hawsehole has an integral polished stainless-steel drink holder.
Speaking of gunwales, Whaler made the cap-rail inserts and under-gunwale rod storage spaces longer, so you can now actually store two real-world rods under each rail. Overall, Whaler provides plenty of rod storage, especially if you opt for the T-top that adds another five rod holders (and optional outriggers) to complement the vertical rod holders on each side of the console.

Design and Construction

The designers at Boston Whaler made some dramatic (for Whaler) changes in the hull of the 220 compared with its antecedents. Look for narrowed chines and a deeper deadrise for a softer ride in a head sea. They’ve added considerably more flare to the bow to make the ride drier too.
Another truly unique feature finds molded-in notches in the console corners that allow the T-top legs to be virtually flush with the console sides. This couldn’t have been an easy feat, considering that the console also had to look equally good to those who don’t want a hardtop!
Side benefits of this new design include much-improved aesthetics on the support piping, which also improved aerodynamics. Additionally, because the design has greater inherent strength, the support structure needn’t be as beefy as in previous models, meaning the boat lost some weight.
Like other small Whalers, the 220 boasts a top-hatch anchor locker abutting a stainless-steel anchor roller.
I’ve also not seen a leaning post with adjustable height before — a very logical feature. And the U.S. Coast Guard appreciates another improvement: Whaler now uses a bungee cord and Velcro closure system on the overhead life-jacket storage net, meaning you’ll never be thwarted by a stuck, corroded zipper in an emergency.
As you can tell, Whaler’s engineers haven’t been napping. I really liked the new stern seat design they created that eliminates support legs and uses polished stainless-steel hardware for an exceptionally handsome installation.
Whaler understands the importance of offshore safety, so you’ll find a telescoping swim ladder integrated into the swim platform too.
The helm console can fit two 8-inch electronics displays on either side of the engine gauges. An MP3-player input hides inside the catchall tray at knee level, complete with a handy 12-volt DC outlet. Toe space beneath the helm footrest represents a greatly appreciated addition on a boat this size.
And, of course, like all Boston Whalers, the 220 is unsinkable. The deck and hull molds lock together; then, in a process Whaler calls UniBond construction, the spaces all get injected with foam under pressure, making every Whaler a one-piece boat for all intents and purposes. It’s heartening to see an icon so willing to embrace change! Good job, Whaler.

The new model 220 Outrage is available for inspection in our Showroom.
