The NEW Marquis 40 Sport Coupe 
Third one built and the First on the West Coast!  Retractable sunroof, power cockpit seat to expand cockpit, spa shower and twin Volvo IPS drives. The new Ferrari of boats! Look for this vessel at the Blackfish Marine display.

Volvo Penta IPS
Volvo Penta IPS is a completely new — and significantly better — alternative to inboard shafts. It is the result of radical new thinking - based on Volvo Penta's long maritime experience and protected by no less than by 40 patents.

The JOYSTICK REVOLUTION
Crowded marina. Strong side wind. Tight berth. Situations that can make even the most seasoned skipper a little edgy. But not anymore. Volvo Penta IPS Joystick puts you in total control and lets you maneuver in any direction - sideways, diagonally, forward, backward or rotate — with just one hand.

The EdgeWater Difference
In just a few short years, EdgeWater Power Boats have redefined what small boats can do. EdgeWaters emerge from the mold in one solid, unsinkable piece, so they're tougher and safer than anything else on the water. They're fabricated one at a time to semi-custom standards, which means you can specify your boat for whatever you need it to do. And even our smallest models feature variable deadrise V hulls, for the kind of offshore performance and stability most commonly reserved for much bigger boats.

ROCKPORT 42 FAST TRAWLER
Introducing the latest addition to the Rockport Family — The ROCKPORT 42 Fast Trawler. This trawler is more of the same great design by Stephen R. Seaton as the Rockport 38 but the additional space allows for a larger salon and more flexibility with the interior layout. Originally designed with two double staterooms, the large single master stateroom layout with single ensuite head is proving to be a popular choice. Her low profile design includes space for an upper helm so there is no need to add additional superstructure for the flybridge station.

Bavaria Yachts
The Bavaria Vision series features boats with increased sail areas for more sailing horsepower, higher ballast ratios for better stability, an increased standard equipment list, high-performance lead keels and much more. Of course, the quality of construction and beautiful finishing that we expect from Bavaria Yachts is there as well, and is also improved upon with 100% vinylester resins, solid mahogany, steel-reinforced structural grids and more. The Vision Series comes in three models, 40', 44', and 50' and it complements the Bavaria Cruiser Series with models from 31 to 50 feet.

Innovation Award in Miami
Glacier Bay Catamarans was one of two boat builders recently honored for innovative achievement by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Boating Writers International (BWI) at the 2007 Miami International Boat Show.  “Reduced rolling, increased stability and tracking in rough seas are just some of this boat’s features, which also offers great livability and fishability,” says Lenny Rudow, senior technical editor for Boating magazine and one of the BWI judges.
