Our New Harley 39x10 Center Console Kevlar Diesel, "at 3 Miles Per Gallon at cruise speed"

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 06:50:29 -0700

Our new Harley 39x10 Center Console Kevlar Diesel. This exciting fast Center Console achieves remarkable efficiency and speeds due to several factors. At 3 miles per gallon at cruise speed, we are typically 300% the efficiency of the outboard center consoles in this size range, and about 200% (or better) the efficiency of the similar diesel boats in this size range. The vessel is much stronger and tougher than its fiberglass counterparts. In this website you will see pictures and testimonies about several Harley Kevlar boats that were in high speed accidents, 45- 50 mph, some into immoveable objects! No fiberglass vessel could survive accidents like these even close to the way the Harley vessels did due to their great strength, design and the materials we use.

Just Launched for 2007 Liberty Yachts 45 Flybridge

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 05:35:34 -0600

The most distinguishing characteristic is simply the way in which she is laid out. Rather than the usual saloon-above-the-engine-room scenario, the Liberty 45 (like the 42) is reminiscent of the classic Bertram 31; forward of the cockpit there’s a motorbox on either side, with a walkway between that leads to the saloon. This arrangement means the saloon sole is at nearly the same level as the cockpit (it’s actually one step down from the cockpit to the saloon), giving the boat a lower profile, a correspondingly lower center of gravity, and better stability.

ROBALO’S NEW R225FX WALKAROUND

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 05:03:30 -0700

In response to consumer demand for a more extreme sportfishing cockpit than the R225, Robalo introduces the New R225FX. With all the standard cabin features of the current R225, the new R225FX offers a redesigned cockpit eliminating the cockpit galley and dual helm seat. By replacing these with captain and passenger ladderback chairs and a recessed tackle center, we have made the 225FX a pure fishing boat. Strategically placed behind each ladderback seat, the 18-gallon livewell with LED lighting and 35-gallon fishbox in the sole with overboard drain provides more fishfighting cockpit square footage. New standard features include Sirius satellite radio and the industry–leading cockpit performance upholstery, Dura-Life Max. With all of the performance expected from the R225, the R225FX answers the call from consumers wanting just a little more as they go beyond the horizon.
