Key West 268 Center Console With a single 300-hp four-stroke, this spacious center console gets good mileage and is packed with standard equipment. We’ve driven softer-riding boats, though. Binoculars Under $300: Nikon and West Marine Best the Rest The Nikon Ocean Pro and West Marine Tahiti top the field with good performance and long warranties. Binoculars from Celestron, Fujinon, and ProMariner fail to survive our drop test. Custom Marine Computers Compact, energy-efficient systems offer affordable alternatives to laptops. Teleflex vs. Uflex We compared two hydraulic steering systems on identical 20-footers. Teleflex’s Bay Star fends off a challenge from Uflex’s HYCO. Prop Test: Original Wheel Wins The Suzuki prop racked up the best fuel mileage numbers at cruising speeds. Powertech’s OFS 4-blade came in a close second, while the Mercury Mirage hit the highest top speed. Hand Abrasives Roundup 3M’s SandBlaster sanding sponges and plain wet/dry sandpaper stand out. | |||||
