Regal Commodore 3060: Vista Cruiser The cabin windshield divides the boat's lines, provides a headrest when the sunpad is installed, and when combined with large, oval side windows, gives you something most cruisers this size haven't offered for decades--a view from within. |

Monterey 350: Hit Record With its angularity and brawniness, the Monterey 350's low-slung profile is striking. After winding up its twin 420-hp stern drives, I screamed upriver at more than 50 mph, proving the 350's performance more than matches its looks. The 350 walks the walk and talks the talk. |

Grady-White Express 305 The concept behind making a 30' express instead of a 30' walkaround is to regain the interior space lost to recessed sidedecks, and this boat makes great use of that space. The cabin feels airy and usable, especially due to the V-berth design. |
