Suzuki Our Top Pick For a 150With its larger displacement, lower cost, and excellent fuel economy, Suzuki edges Yamaha and Honda. The heavier Mercury Verado is impressive, but guzzles fuel at high rpm settings. Nike Tops Base-Layer Garments Helly Hansen, Musto, and Victory also earn kudos for performance & comfort. Mooring Chain Test Underway Slips too expensive? A mooring might be the answer. We begin a test to find the toughest chain out there. Bilge Pump Switches: Water Witch Wins In a test of 17 automatic switches, the electronically operated Water Witch 230 kept our bilge the driest. The rugged Sure Bail is a Best Buy. CO Detectors: Fireboy/Xintex Wins; Safe-T-Alert is a Best Buy Marine carbon monoxide detectors are important. For reliability, we like the hard-wired CO Sentinels; for price, it's MTI's Safe-T-Alert. Albin 26: ‘Smooth and Steady’ This deep-V center console embarrasses much larger boats in heavy seas. Anglers will love the well-thought-out cockpit and deck. Construction materials and methods are a little behind the times. | |||||
