Certifications and Ratings: What's the Deal?
The acronyms alone are enough to drive you nuts. One suspects that they have something to do with the way boats are built, or not built, but beyond that, it's well, vague.

Vinyl Cleaners
Knight's Marine Spray Nine works best—and it's quick and inexpensive. Products from Meguiar's and 303 Products were effective, too.

Handheld Weather Stations
It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but one of these gizmos can tell you how hard it's blowing, atmospheric pressure, and more. Speedtech's Skymaster is the top pick here.

CO Detectors
Of the two marine-rated units tested, Fireboy/Xintex gets our vote, but if you're more cautious, go with the MTI. The non-marine units are good, too, especially the Kidde Nighthawks.

Sea Sport Pacific 3200
A Pacific Northwest builder uses high-quality construction materials and methods to produce a strong yet lightweight 32' planing catamaran.
