Non-Skid Compounds and PaintsCompetitors combined—Interlux Toplac paint and Pettit Skidless compound—win the overall prize. A wise alternative would be West Marine Sea Gloss with Awlgrip Griptex. Navman Tracker 5600 vs. Si-Tex ColorMax 6 The Navman’s screen has been improved, and its controls are good, but the Si-Tex machine outshines it in some of the most important areas, including sunlight viewability and price. Multitools Several new offerings and an impending upgrade prompt this renewed look. For versatility and quality, we like four particular models, and among those, the Leatherman Wave is our Best Buy. Pettit vs. Interlux Two of the best anti-fouling paints go head to head: Pettit’s Trinidad SR and Interlux’s Micron 66. Long-term Outboard Tests PBR’s four test engines are humming right along. All have clean maintenance records, but the Mercury’s SmartCraft gauges are showing their age, and the Evinrude DIs stall once in a while. Centers of Attention Two big center console fishing boats go head to head. Despite its higher price, we give the nod to the Hydra-Sports for its better fuel tank installation. | |||||
