Taylor Publisher bill@powerboating.com ® RVDealer NEWS CANADA’S INDUSTRY MAGAZINERVDealer NEWS CANADA’S INDUSTRY MAGAZINE ® ® ® RVDealer NEWS CANADA’S INDUSTRY MAGAZINE BOATCANADA Pontoon & Deck his issue marks our 37th buyers guide edition designed to provide you with the most comprehensive guide of new models on the mar- ket today. With over 70 boats, we cover everything starting from the 17-foot fishing boat to the big cruiser of your dreams. Manufacturers are delivering great new innovations and plush com- forts while offering unbeatable pricing and service. Thanks to a wide range of advances in manufacturing processes we have seen many substantial enhancements in all spectrums of the boating industry. Computer assisted designs and better materials enable the builders to create the best handling and the most enjoyable pleasure crafts we have ever seen. Engine manufacturers have also created a range of quieter, cleaner, and more fuel-efficient power plants, all perfectly matched to the lighter built hulls today. And to compliment these quiet and more efficient motors comes the world of electrification and electric boats which you can preview in this issue on page 53, to view 5 new electric boats for your imagination. Powering a boat with an electric motor is nothing new. But if you want to get some- place fast and quiet, then you should turn to page 30. In this issue you’ll also notice our regular columnist Mark King brings you the effects of carbon monoxide in boating, and how to purchase an alumi- num fishing boat with Mercury Marine’s fishing expert Patrick Campeau. If you haven’t thought about buying a new boat yet, then now is the per- fect time. We just got back from the Miami International Boat Show, but the shows are not over yet as we head over to Palm Beach to seek out more of the boating lifestyle. From what I’ve seen at the shows and what were about to see in Palm Beach, I would suggest you make your purchase today as boating is in high demand right now with many delays of boat productions. Get your order in now to ensure that your boat is ready in time for the summer. Maybe we’ll see each other out on the water enjoying our favourite pastime. h T Pub Page 36-6.indd 8Pub Page 36-6.indd 82022-03-22 3:34 PM2022-03-22 3:34 PMMD.indd 1MD.indd 12022-03-30 3:11 PM2022-03-30 3:11 PMNext >
