Regal 2400 Bowrider This big bowrider has ample seating and storage, but wider swim ladders and additional handrails would make it more family friendly. Expensive Handheld VHF Radios: Standard Horizon Edges Icom With its solid performance, multi-band reception, and DSC emergency- calling capability, the Standard Horizon HX600S takes top honors. The radios from Icom had the longest battery life. Seven Life Vests Take the Plunge: Stearns Rises to the Top Mustang, Stearns, and Sospenders have top-quality youth size vests that provide buoyancy well beyond Coast Guard requirements, but they are more expensive. Suzuki DF300: Powerful, but Efficient Suzuki introduces the biggest four-stroke yet with a 4-liter V6 that weighs less than the Mercury Verado. Fuel efficiency is impressive, too. Outdrive Paints: Pettit Looks Best All three products failed to ward off barnacles completely. Pettit’s Alumacoat SR allowed the least amount of slime and hard growth. Mooring Chain Test Update After six months, the standard Acco Grade-30 proof coil looks good. Forget the Campbell and Chinese proof coils. | |||||
