Yachts rock!
Less than a decade ago, many express cruisers designed by American companies had straight hull lines, reverse-facing radar arches, and interiors that resembled crawl spaces rather than spacious waterfront suites. Though these homegrown vessels performed well, they looked downright square when compared with sleeker and sexier imports from Italy and the United Kingdom. Today, at least one American brand has seen the light. Sea Ray, a boat manufacturer based in Knoxville, Tenn., is embracing the elegant, sinuous lines of its European competitors and powering its new designs with the latest in propulsion technology. The 540DA, the company’s most recent launch, embodies this approach with a sleek, aggressive exterior; a large, well-appointed interior; and a Zeus pod drive system mated to bold Cummins MerCruiser Diesel motors. – From Robb Report
