Sold: 2016 Albury Brothers 27 Center Console $189,950.00
The Albury Brothers 27 Center Console is an amazing Center Console. In addition to being one of the best handling, softest riding and fuel efficient hulls in this size range, it is near perfect size. It is small enough to single hand and shallow enough draft get into the backwaters, yet large enough to venture 40 miles out chasing the big ones. Albury Brothers Boats have a long rich history of vessel design and construction. Couple that with the fact the hulls are 100% hand laid fiberglass (no chopper guns), solid glass bottoms, foam core construction (no wood) and a lamination schedule that puts the weight where it belongs, down low, Alburys are in a class unto themselves. Only premium resins, glass and gelcoat are used. The hardware components and wiring are all top notch. These boats are built to last a lifetime and have excellent resale value when the time comes to move up to a new Albury Brothers Boat.

“Boating Has Been a Favorite American Pastime”
National Marine Manufacturers Association president Frank Hugelmeyer took to Fox Business with an opinion piece on why boating is the ideal summer activity during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Echoing the disappointment that many are feeling with canceled vacations, closed community pools and shuttered summer camps — as well as the stress that Covid-19 has had on the country — Hugelmeyer highlighted how an increasing number of families are taking to the waters as an escape.

The New Viking 38 Billfish Will Debut in February 2019
|
|
|
The Viking Yacht Company is proud to announce the addition of three new boats to its industry-leading sportfishing fleet: the 38 Billfish, 38 Open and 46 Billfish. The 38 Billfish is an evolution of the highly successful 37 Billfish and another example of Viking faithfully carrying out its mission to build a better boat every day.
|
|
|
Viking President and CEO Pat Healey delivered the news to the Viking dealer network moments before the gates opened for the first day of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
|
|
|
The 38 Billfish was designed and built with the same DNA as its predecessor. As owner/operator vessels, they offer simplicity and ease of maintenance, serving as ready-to-go fishing machines as well as versatile cruising boats with reliable inboard diesel power.
|
|
|
Like her convertible brethren, the 38 Billfish’s flybridge is designed with a tournament-style center console walk-around helm. One helm chair is standard and two are optional.
|
|
|
The 38 Billfish’s command deck holds a salon-like living area that includes a port-side U-shaped dinette and a fiberglass hi-lo table. The cockpit is the largest in its class-109 square feet with mezzanine seating. Below, there’s a large forward stateroom available with either a single queen bed or optional crossover bunks and two hanging lockers; an L-shaped galley; and a head with enclosed shower.
|
|
|
The 38 Billfish and 38 Open share the same hull, cockpit and have a similar mechanical arrangement but differ in command deck and bridge configurations.
|
|
|
The 38 Open’s command deck also has ample seating, with port and starboard L-shaped lounges and storage below. A raised centerline command station gives the driver excellent sightlines. Accommodations include a forward stateroom with a lower double bunk and upper single and a hanging locker; a starboard-side sofa with storage; a port-side galley; and a head with enclosed shower.
|
|
|
Soon to join the 38 Billfish and 38 Open is the 46 Billfish, another exciting new model with sharp styling, exciting performance and legendary Viking quality. During the 37 Billfish‘s 2-year run of success, demand grew for this style of a Viking in a larger size. “The 46 was a natural progression for the Billfish,” says John Leek IV, General Manager of Viking Mullica where the Billfish series is being manufactured. “Our customers really grasped onto the philosophy behind these boats.”
The 38 Billfish will make her debut at the Viking VIP, hosted by the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, February 1st and 2nd. Introductions of the 46 Billfish and 38 Open are slated for later in 2019 and both will debut during the fall boat show season.

Viking 44 Open Virtual Tour | Marlin Magazine
Marlin fans get an exclusive look at the new sport-fisher thanks to the 360-degree camera:
The next sport-fishing boat receiving Marlin‘s virtual-tour look is Viking’s 44 Open. Use the 360-degree camera and experience this sport-fisher beyond still pictures. You can also watch Marlin‘s video review of the Viking 44 Open
Cockpit
The 44 Open has a huge 119-square-foot cockpit that’s just a few steps away from the command bridge deck. A comfortable mezzanine is the perfect spot to watch the spread, with storage below and a drink box in the step, just like the larger Vikings. Add a rocket launcher or small fighting chair and she’s ready to fish against any boat in the world.
Helm Station
The command bridge has a centerline helm station with pod in either teak or fiberglass. Single-lever engine controls and a polished stainless wheel look great, and there’s space for a bank of 3 17-inch multi-function displays. Switches for ship systems and the mics for the VHF radios are to starboard, protected in a separate compartment.
Engine Room
Click to play
A conventional drive system with a pair of MAN I6 800 CRM diesels fits nicely in the engine room. These engines, rated at 800 hp each, are matched to Veem wheels and produce a 30-knot cruise speed and a top end of 34.5 to 35 knots.
Galley
Click to play
With a beam of 16 feet, 4 inches, the 44 Open has a spacious salon highlighted by the easy-to-care-fo Amtico flooring and a 28-inch flat-screen television. The galley has Corian countertops, a recessed sink and electric cooktop with microwave/convection oven, plus under-counter drawer-style refrigeration.
Warning: Hurricane-Damaged Boats Soon Hitting the Used Boat Market
Buyer beware. BoatUS wants anyone looking to buy a used boat in 2018 to be aware of the “storm-damaged lemons” that are likely lurking among perfectly good pre-owned boats.
More than 63,000 boats were damaged in Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Many will be repaired and have years of life left on the water, but other could be hiding major problems.
BoatUS, the nation’s biggest recreational boat owners’ association, is urging buyers to get a prepurchase survey (known as a Condition and Value survey).
“It’s not that you don’t want to buy a boat that’s been repaired, but you should have full knowledge of the repairs and know they were done correctly. It’s a transparency issue that will help you negotiate a fair price,” said BoatUS Consumer Affairs Director Charles Fort.
BoatUS offers eight tips to help you spot a boat that might have been badly damaged in a storm:
- Trace the history. When a car is totaled, the title is branded as salvaged or rebuilt, and buyers know up front that there was major damage at some point in the car’s history. But only a few states brand salvaged boats – Florida and Texas do not – and some states don’t require titles for boats. Anyone wishing to obscure a boat’s history need only cross state lines to avoid detection, which can be a tipoff. Look for recent gaps in the boat’s ownership, which may mean that it was at an auction or in a repair yard for a long time.
- Look for recent hull repairs. Especially on older boats, matching gelcoat is very difficult. Mismatched colors around a repaired area are often a giveaway and may signal nothing more than filler under the gelcoat, rather than a proper fiberglass repair.
- Look for new repairs or sealant at the hull-to-deck joint. Boats that bang against a dock during a storm often suffer damage there.
- Evidence of sinking. Check for consistent corrosion on interior hardware, such as rust on all hinges and drawer pulls. You might be able to spot an interior waterline inside a locker or an area hidden behind an interior structure.
- Corrosion in the electrical system. Corrosion on electrical items, such as lamps, connectors and behind breaker panels might mean the boat sank recently. Does the boat have all new electronics? Why?
- Look for evidence of major interior repairs. Fresh paint or gelcoat work on the inside of the hull and engine room is usually obvious. All new cushions and curtains may be a tipoff, too.
- Look for fresh paint on the engine. It may be covering exterior rust as well as interior damage.
- Ask the seller. In some states, a seller isn’t required to disclose if a boat was badly damaged unless you ask. If the seller hems and haws, keep looking.

Unprecedented demand’ causes Yamaha to delay engine shipments
In light of “unprecedented demand,” Yamaha Motor Corp. is asking its counterparts in Japan to focus on reallocating products to the United States so the company can fill orders.
Specifically, Yamaha said that due to “a perfect storm of challenges” it is unable to meet demand for the 2.8-liter, 4.2-liter V6 and 5.3-liter V8 outboards — as well as some Yamaha rigging items — in the time frame the company had originally hoped, in part because its manufacturing operations were in transition.
“It is unprecedented demand, and we simply cannot meet the demands for shipping our product,” Martin Peters, Yamaha Marine Group communications and government relations senior manager, told Trade Only Today. “We are doing our best.”
Yamaha Marine Group president Ben Speciale sent letters to dealers and OEMs acknowledging it was unable to meet its target ship dates and apologizing for delays.
“We are experiencing the perfect storm of challenges for supplying outboards at this higher demand,” said the letter to dealers, which Peters sent to Trade Only. “The marketplace has many years of pent-up demand for larger boats and the outboard motors that power them. As the economy and mood have improved this year, demand for our premium products increased more than we had anticipated.
“This increase in demand has occurred while our manufacturing operations are in transition. The transition was designed to accommodate new products and increased longer-term demand.”
Understanding that its availability to promise dates is “less than stable,” Yamaha is bringing down target ship dates to regain stability. “We will do everything we can to bring the system back up by Dec. 15,” Speciale wrote, adding in bold: “We will continue to ship product during this time.”
The company declined to be more specific about the type of transition the manufacturing operations were in, saying that some of what it was doing was proprietary.
“There’s tremendous demand in the entire industry right now, particularly for those things that go into larger boats,” Peters said.
Yamaha engines come from Japan, but its propellers — which Trade Only learned were also difficult to procure — are manufactured by Precision Propellers Industries in Indianapolis.
“Since we purchased PPI in 2008, output has doubled,” Speciale told Trade Only in an email. “We have increased output of propellers every year. Output is up 20 percent this year, and we plan to grow it next year.”

Q: What is your dream sport-fishing destination:
Four boatbuilders’ wish-list trips

One of my favorite destinations has always been Guatemala. The sheer number of billfish there always made it an easy decision. Plus I love old boats, so it was a place we could fish on Merritts and Ryboviches in calm seas. I would have loved to fish Cabo Blanco, Peru, in the 1950s and ’60s when the giant black marlin were being caught. Papua New Guinea is another dream trip. I have a customer who bought a boat from us there who wants us to visit. It’s more than just the actual fishing: That trip would be an adventure.

I’ve been fortunate to fish in a lot of great locations, but one of my favorites was Kona, Hawaii, fishing with Capt. Kevin Nakamaru on Northern Lights. It wasn’t because of the great fishing but rather the amazing camaraderie on the docks. It’s such a great community of fishermen there. His mate at the time, Matt Bowman, is now a captain in Madeira, which is one of the places on my list to fish soon. But I’d really like to get back to Kona at some point too. Every trip has dream potential if you plan ahead and then just let yourself get into it.

When you’re young, you dream of building the ultimate fishing machine and hitting all the great hot spots. Working with the Chouest family, we started fishing on the East Coast and in the Caribbean on the 58- and 63-foot Freedom boats. Then we built a 65 and fished Bermuda, the Cape Verde Islands and Brazil. As the dreams continued to grow, we towed the 80-foot Patriot through the South Pacific, fishing places like Tonga, Bora Bora and Nuku Hiva. I’m blessed to be fishing and building boats with my family. My dream sport-fishing destination? Wherever the next adventuring sportsmen may find it; if we’re lucky, maybe it will be us.

My favorite has to be the seamounts off Costa Rica — the blue marlin fishing there is just incredible. When you’re seeing 15 or more blues a day, you’re able to fine-tune your approach and try different things rather than getting in a rut. When we’re blue marlin fishing in North Carolina, we’re using lures — plug and chug — but in Costa Rica, we’re pitch-baiting fish on the teasers, and it’s a whole lot more exciting. It’s interesting to see how long a fish will stay in the spread too. We’re building two boats for the Pacific, so I’m looking forward to spending more time there.

This year, it took on even greater meaning as we introduced the next phase of what we are doing to meet demand, and previewed the first Regulator with sun shade comfort and tow bar option!”

Volvo Penta becomes majority owner of innovative outboard motor manufacturer Seven Marine.
Volvo Penta has signed an agreement to become the major owner of innovative premium outboard motor manufacturer, Seven Marine, enabling the Swedish company to extend its scope of world-leading integrated propulsion systems.
“With this acquisition, Volvo Penta is entering the outboard motor segment,” says Volvo Penta president, Björn Ingemanson. “Together with Seven Marine, we are on a journey to expand the scope of supply with our customers and invest in the growth of a platform to shape the future of the outboard industry.”
The deal will broaden Volvo Penta’s technology platform, offering a modular, cutting-edge solution, regardless of the energy source, to deliver the desired power in the water. Seven Marine will be able to further develop its existing innovative outboard technology to satisfy a wider range of needs for its premium and exclusive customer base. This strategic collaboration will strengthen their combined footprint in the marine market.
“This is an exciting step for Volvo Penta,” says Ron Huibers, president of Volvo Penta of the Americas. “We are combining the strength of two highly innovative companies to deliver an unbeatable engine range for the gasoline segment. We will not only come to market with an extremely attractive outboard solution, but we will deliver the benefits of our world-class service network to a broader range of customers.”
World-class innovation
Seven Marine, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA, was founded in 2010 by a team with many years’ specialist experience in marine technology. With a proven track record in delivering luxury performance gasoline outboards for the high-end leisure market, Seven Marine produces the most powerful outboard models in the world, running at 557 and 627 hp. Thanks to the unmatched horsepower of its outboards, the company is able to meet the demand for larger, outboard powered boats. Customers benefit from the ability to go farther, faster, more efficiently with leading and innovative product style and design.
Volvo Penta, with approximately 3,500 dealers in over 130 countries, is a world-leading and global manufacturer of engines and complete power systems for boats, vessels and industrial applications. The engine program comprises diesel and gasoline engines with power outputs of between 10 and 900 hp. Volvo Penta is part of the Volvo Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of heavy trucks, buses and construction equipment.
The company’s small block V8 engines are fitted horizontally and leverage modern, automotive quality and technology. This includes use of fresh-water cooling for enhanced durability and corrosion protection and a supercharger to produce excellent performance. Volvo Penta has over 110 years of experience as a market leader in engine and propulsion systems, delivering a history of innovations to the marine industry, such as the Aquamatic Sterndrive, Volvo Penta IPS, and Forward Drive. The company’s easy boating philosophy is the driving force behind groundbreaking solutions to make boating easy, enjoyable and more fun. With its current product portfolio, Volvo Penta offers one of the widest ranges of world-class marine diesel and gasoline engines in the industry.
Shared vision
The use of automotive technology is a common aspect between Volvo Penta’s gasoline sterndrive range and Seven Marine’s outboard motors. Seven Marine’s approach to exploring new techniques and design architecture is a key driver behind Volvo Penta’s decision to become majority owner in Seven Marine.
With this acquisition, the two companies will collaborate to continue to develop Seven Marine’s leading outboard offerings, which not only leverages the strength of the company’s existing technology, but also has sustainability in mind. “The Seven Marine concept mirrors the successful strategy we have followed in pursuing automotive technology,” says Björn Ingemanson, president of Volvo Penta. “Just as we are a leader in diesel and gasoline engine technology, Seven Marine leads its market for state-of-the-art outboards.” He adds: “We have a shared vision for the future, and this deal provides an ideal platform for us to grow and adapt together. We will move forward in leading the development of world-class performance and sustainability for the most premium of outboard motor segments.”
Seven Marine will operate as a stand-alone entity retaining its brand, product line and organizational structure. Ron Huibers, Volvo Penta’s president of the Americas region, will be the chairman of Seven Marine and Rick Davis will remain as Seven Marine’s president and CEO. With this approach, Seven Marine will benefit from the strength and stability of being part of a larger, international organization, while still maintaining its entrepreneurial spirit. “This is a great development for us,” says Rick Davis, president and CEO, at Seven Marine. “As a young company we have pushed ourselves forward to revolutionize the outboard engine experience in a short period of time. And in partnering with Volvo Penta, we will have a solid backing to continue improving the customer experience through the pursuit of technological and innovation advancement.”

BoatUS criticizes pro-ethanol ad campaign
BoatUS is taking exception to a Renewable Fuels Association advertising campaign that promotes the use of gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol in boats.
BoatUS said the RFA “continues to spread mistruths” in supporting the Renewable Fuel Standard, a 2005 federal law that requires the blending of biofuels such as corn ethanol into the nation’s gasoline supply.
An RFA ad that appears as a two-page spread in the May-June issue of Marina Dock Age and unveils the association’s campaign says 10 percent ethanol blends “are increasingly becoming the fuel of choice for savvy boaters.”
BoatUS counters by arguing that although E10 is the fuel most commonly sold in the United States, it is not the choice recreational boaters prefer.
“According to those surveyed by BoatUS, 91 percent prefer non-ethanol fuel for their boats,” BoatUS said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, non-ethanol gas is facing more uncertainty, as the government mandate to increase the volume of ethanol in the nation’s fuel supply may actually reduce the availability of ethanol-free gas,” BoatUS added. “While ethanol boosts a fuel’s octane rating, the U.S. Department of Energy acknowledges that ethanol contains less energy than gasoline and ‘result(s) in lower fuel economy.’ ”
In an infographic that is not in the Marina Dock Age ad, the RFA offers this tip: “Ensure a tight seal, if water is found, dry the tank before refueling.”
Says BoatUS, “This impractical and potentially very unsafe ‘tip’ asks boaters with built-in fuel tanks to do the impossible. Removing and disposing of phase-separated fuel — a result of too much water in moisture-attracting ethanol fuels — can only be done safely by professionals and is expensive. Even for those with portable fuel tanks, this RFA spin offers no practical, reality-based solution to the challenging disposal issue of the ethanol-and-water-soaked gas.”
“Regular maintenance is key,” the RFA infographic says. BoatUS counters by arguing that 87 percent of respondents in a 2016 survey by Boating Industry magazine said they saw boat engine damage that ethanol caused.
“Ethanol is a boom for the service departments [and a] huge drag on our industry because it negatively affects the customers,” a boat manufacturer said in the survey. “It makes them hate boating. It ruins their day, their boat and their entire boating experience.”
The RFA ad includes comments supporting the use of E10 from Mike Valentine, president and owner of the Crappie Masters, and Vernon Barfield, former vice president and tech chairman of the National Boat Racing Association.
“The fact still remains that E10 fuel has been approved to safely run in all marine motors,” Valentine says in the ad. “For three seasons now, Crappie Masters has received zero complaints nor had any fuel-related engine problems reported. Every poll taken has shown 100 percent of our tournament anglers are using E10 fuel in their boats.”
BoatUS counters that the RFA sponsors both of those organizations.
The RFA said that beyond the ad in Marina Dock Age, its campaign will feature educational outreach and additional ad placement in news outlets throughout the country.

When I tell you that you couldn’t keep boaters off the Regulator 31 during the Miami International Boat Show, I can say that with some authority because, well, I tried. Digital Editor John Turner stood on a dock opposite the boat as I channeled my inner Walter Cronkite for a video review.
Hi, I’m Dan Harding and …
“Hey Dave, did you see how deep these livewells are?”
[Deep exhale] Okay, JT, let’s try again. Hi, I’m Dan Harding and I’m standing aboard…
“Should I take my shoes off!?”
[Deeper exhale] John please just keep shooting.

Sport Fishing Magazine:Jupiter Marine 25 Bay on the 2017 Boat Buyers Guide
25 Bay has high gunwales, flush decks, massive tournament-style livewells, and plenty of storage.

LOA: 26′ 1″ | Beam: 8’6″ | Fuel Capacity: 91 gal. | Dry Weight: 3,700 lb. plus power | Max HP: 300 | Certifications: NMMA
Cruising at high speeds in big seas, passengers comfortable and dry all the while: That’s what Jupiter Marine expects of its boats.
Those who own or have experience with Jupiter fishing boats say they hit the mark — and how! They’re within a dock-line toss of the top rankings among oft-reviewed boats in our survey.
Those who know the boats love nearly everything about them, but their highest accolades went for the way they’re built and perform, and the prestige of the brand. (Everything is relative too: Jupiter’s lowest scores matched the highest of some other brands.)
Carl Herndon — former founder/CEO of Blackfin Yacht Corporation — gathered a likewise-seasoned team of skilled craftsmen to launch Jupiter Marine in 1998 and has since expanded its product line.
In the quarter-century since, the brand’s fan club has grown as the company deftly blended new technology with the uncompromising quality on which it has always insisted.
It’s a specialist in outboard-powered offshore sport-fishing boats acclaimed for great looks, seaworthiness, speed, quality and features, and all built on a solid, nearly indestructible hull. Boats are built to your specifications, but all those traits, the company says proudly, are “standard equipment” on every Jupiter.
Jupiter 25 BAY
Newest, smallest and likely nimblest in a line that goes to 41 feet, Jupiter’s new 25 Bay concedes nothing to its big siblings. It embraces all their offshore strengths while boasting its own brand of shallow-water potential.
Like the offshore specialists, the 25 Bay has high gunwales, flush decks, massive tournament-style livewells, and plenty of storage. But it’s a bay boat at heart, with a draft of just 14 inches, sandbar-friendly.
Going far? The 91-gallon fuel capacity will get you there and back. Traveling first on land? This boat rides its trailer well too, with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches.
Courtesy of Jupiter Marine
Add a teak sole if you wish. A trademark of Jupiter is easy access to maintenance areas.
You can match the helm to your fishing style; the center console welcomes dual navigation displays. Ready to go with standard features, options include seat, upholstery and fabric upgrades; custom hardtop or tower with second station; outriggers; kingfish-style rod holders; Power Pole shallow-water anchor system; trolling motor; and more.
How does it run? Ahead of an optional Yamaha F300, it cruises nicely at 30 to 40 mph and can hit 50+ mph at wide-open throttle.
Says Jupiter president Carl Herndon, proudly: “Run shallow, go offshore, stay late at the sandbar, dress up for cocktails …. This boat can do it all.”

The Viking 75 Motor Yacht: Entertainment with a View
|
|
|
When we introduced the 75 Motor Yacht at the 2014 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the favorable response was gratifying to our design team because it not only acknowledged our past motor yacht history, but also recalibrated our commitment to expand the line with new models now under construction, including the Viking 82 and 93 Motor Yachts.
|
|
|
At the 2016 Fort Lauderdale boat show we showcased another significant achievement with a new layout in the salon of the 75 Motor Yacht on display. The open galley plan creates a dramatic new spin for onboard entertaining by replacing a formal dining area with casual bar stool seating. Combined with under counter refrigeration, the galley and the salon are surrounded by water views that extend from the stern to the bow enhancing the sociable atmosphere with enticing spaciousness.
|
|
|
Opposite the galley, custom crafted polished stainless steel, wide teak steps and leather appointments meld luxuriously with attentiveness to detail and provide safe accessibility to the enclosed bridge.
|
|
|
Upholstered mullions artfully compartmentalize the wide windshield providing picture frame views underway while inviting natural light aboard. Dual dining and relaxing areas serve as intimate retreats.
|
|
|
A full beam master suite enjoys design benefits of the hull-side windows to accentuate space and airiness. Three additional staterooms, plus private accessed crew quarters abaft the engineroom contribute to the yacht’s commitment to comfort and privacy
|
The climate controlled enclosed bridge delivers superb visibility, while abaft the helm a spacious second salon allows guests to ride and relax in Viking style.

EPA raises expected level of ethanol for 2017
The Environmental Protection Agency reversed course from its initial proposal regarding mandated ethanol volumes for 2017, acting to increase the volumes more than initially proposed.
The EPA announced on Wednesday, the day prior to a long weekend for many, that it raised its corn ethanol volume mandate for 2017 to levels Congress set in the 2007 Renewable Fuel Standard, “handing a win to agricultural groups and biofuel makers,” according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association.
In the final volume rule, the agency said it would require that 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuel be mixed into the nation’s fuel supply, an increase from the 14.8 billion gallons it had called for in its May proposal.
The May proposal had raised the ire of both ethanol opponents and proponents.
The new figure is in line with the mark that Congress prescribed under the Renewable Fuel Standard during the George W. Bush administration almost a decade ago.
“The EPA decided to revert back to the congressional vision of RFS. That’s what we’re dealing with in 2017,” NMMA senior manager of government relations Michael Lewan told Trade Only Today. “It’s definitely a bit of a departure.”
The EPA has slowed the increase of ethanol in the overall fuel supply in previous years from the requirements set forth in the 2007 RFS, but continues to set increases the law requires.
The EPA’s newest proposal increases the need for higher blends of ethanol to record levels in 2017, pushing further past the E10 blend wall, according to critics of the proposal. The blend wall is the term used for the maximum amount of ethanol in fuel that all engines can tolerate — which is E10, or 10 percent ethanol.
The total mandate for biofuels rose to 19.28 billion gallons. The requirement for cellulosic advanced biofuels was set at 311 million gallons, and advanced biofuels were set to 4.28 billion gallons. The 2018 biodiesel mandate has been left unchanged from the proposal at 2.1 billion gallons.
“Today’s decision by the EPA directly threatens the safety of millions of American boaters,” NMMA president Thom Dammrich said Wednesday in a statement.
“EPA ignored the overwhelming evidence presented by the boating industry in its decision to increase the 2017 ethanol mandate to record highs. EPA’s misguided decision not only denies the public choice at the pump to purchase ethanol-free fuels, but they are now increasing the spread of a dangerous, prohibited fuel blend that will cause damage to marine engines and raises serious safety concerns. It’s clear that the EPA has failed in its duty — now more than ever NMMA urges the new Congress and the Trump administration to work together to deliver actual reforms that fix this broken law and protects the millions of American boaters.”
Donald Trump came out in support of the ethanol industryleading up to the Iowa caucus in January. On Sept. 15 Trump “momentarily” said he would repeal a key piece of the fuel standard, but quickly changed course.
The Trump campaign website briefly posted a fact sheet announcing his opposition to a key component of the biofuel law, saying it “penalizes refineries if they do not meet certain blending requirements. These requirements have turned out to be impossible to meet, and are bankrupting many of the small and midsize refineries in this country,” according to the Times-Picayune.
That fact sheet was quickly taken down later on Sept. 15 after pressure from the ethanol industry, the newspaper said.
A Trump campaign official declined to comment on the change in the fact sheet, saying only that Trump’s commitment to the standard as it is written is “unshakeable,” The Hill reported on Sept. 15.
Still, Lewan was optimistic that the new administration could usher in the RFS reforms the industry has sought.
“There’s ample opportunity as we shift to get reforms that break the cycle and update the 2007 law to update the law to current market realities,” Lewan said. “Ultimately, the EPA did last November come below the statutory requirements for 2016. This year EPA had proposed to come the same proportion below the 2017 requirements, but they have upped that number a bit, which is disappointing, but it underscores why we can’t rely on EPA and government agencies to rule in our favor. We need legislative changes and for Congress to work together to fix the law they wrote. I think there’s a good opportunity entering January to use this announcement as a catalyst to show why we need change sooner rather than later.”
Federal judge issues injunction against new overtime rule
A little more than a week before it was scheduled to take effect, a federal judge Tuesday blocked an Obama administration rule that would have extended overtime eligibility to 4 million Americans.
The Labor Department’s overhaul of the overtime rule would require employers to pay time-and-a-half to salaried employees who work more than 40 hours in a given week and earn less than $47,476 a year.

Viking Yachts: The Long and the Short of It
|
 |
|
Viking co-founder Bill Healey has no shortage of infamous sayings that cut through the chaff when he is making a point about boat building. “The long and short of it” is one example and clearly describes two models we have under construction at both ends of our product spectrum.
|
 |
|
The 37 Billfish is being built at our Viking Mullica facility, and even in its earliest stages has gathered quite a following with nearly half of the year’s production snapped up by eager buyers who appreciate the classic day boat style that best serves sport fishing fanatics. Reminiscent of the popular Merritts and Rybovichs fawned over by the Palm Beach sailfish and Cat Cay tuna fishermen in the late 1950s and 1960s, the 37 Billfish is the heir apparent to a new chapter of fish boat history.
|
 |
|
From bow to stern the 37 Billfish is about form and function. The slick hull and running surface are designed to slip through the water maximizing the response and performance from its twin diesel power. In the deckhouse, there is ample space for a convertible dinette, a lounge, good tackle stowage and even a lower helm station to extend both ends of the fishing season in northern climes, while providing comfort from the heat in tropical paradises like Costa Rica. The flying bridge is set up tournament fashion with a center console helm and flanking lounges. In the cockpit, it’s all fishy business with a transom door, transom live well, bait freezers and twin mezzanines.
|
 |
|
With an amazing interior featuring a private stateroom forward, a well-equipped galley and a head and shower you’d expect to see on a 40-footer, the 37 Billfish easily transforms into a perfect family cruising yacht when the fishing rods are put away.
|
 This galley module with lush Juno teak joinery bespeaks Viking‘s talented shipwrights. Look for the first 37 Billfish during the 21st Annual Viking VIP Boat Show Preview at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, February 3-4, 2017, and later that month at the Yachts Miami Beach boat show.

At the opposite end, our flagship 92 Enclosed Bridge Convertible is simply an amazing accomplishment.
|
 |
|
A sprawling salon of epic proportions is captivating in every attentive detail to elegance and luxury.
|
 |
|
The galley is appropriately equipped with world class appliances and conveniences, including bar stool seating.
|
 |
|
For more formal dining affairs, seating for six beckons guests with attentive grandeur.
|
 |
|
A strikingly beautiful master suite, one of five staterooms, is a lavish achievement featuring motor yacht ambiance.
|
The forward helm is complemented with an aft station for docking and fishing. Abaft the helm area, luxurious appointments create a second climate-controlled salon with raised seating, entertainment options, and endless water views.
|
 |
|
The after-deck lounge with its extended flying bridge overhang is a sheltered conversation area with inviting accommodations for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Port side ladder steps provide outside access to the enclosed bridge. Port and starboard teak planked stairs lead to the cockpit.
|
 |
|
A sizable mezzanine in the cockpit serves as a convenient observation perch with the deck providing access to refrigeration and freezer spaces, tackle stowage and passage to the engineroom and crew quarters.
|
 |
|
With 238 square feet of cockpit space, the 92 Enclosed Bridge Convertible is well equipped for serious tournament fishing and includes numerous amenities including a transom live well, a transom door, fish wells, a refrigerated drink box, gaff and tag stick stowage, rounded coamings, flush rod holders and more.

The Rebirth of the Chesapeake 22
I started building this hull with my dad in the mid 1980’s:
These two pictures are one of the ones I built in 1989. Randy is installing a new T-Top as we speak for the new owner. The Chesapeake gave me the boat fever and why I’m at Bluewater Yacht Sales today.
My good friend Randy Moubray from Moubray Company has purchased the updated molds and boat below from another friend Dave Mueller. This will be the demo boat with new Outboard on a bracket and Hardtop.
The New Moubray Center Consoles will be available soon with interior liner and many new extras. Exciting Times!
