PBR Test Engines Rack Up Hours The 90-hp E-TECs reach 240 hours, the 150-hp Mercury OptiMax needs a new trim/tilt assembly after four seasons of use, and the big Suzuki (250-hp) is humming right along after 175 hours. Inflatable PFD Challenge Crewsaver’s Crewfit 150N, our reigning vest-style inflatable PFD, brushes off a challenge by Plastimo’s Pilot 150N. Bottom Paint 2005-06: Different Water, Different Results Sea Hawk’s Monterey and Interlux’s Micron Optima performed best overall. The water-based Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote Aqua and West Marine PCA share Best Buy honors. Battery Test: Trojan Triumphs We tested 700 pounds of deep-cycle AGM and gel batteries. The Trojan captures the Best Buy. Both Mastervolts are expensive but well worth it. Boston Whaler 205 Conquest: Versatile Vessel This 20-foot walkaround caters to all crowds, serving as a platform for fishing, day cruising, and watersports. Whaler builds an unsinkable boat, but why no vinylester resin or warranty coverage for hull blisters? | |||||
