Now there is a paint scheme that will stop you in your tracks.

The Miami International Boat Show in its new location on Virginia Key was the temporary home of a wide array of stunning vessels of all shapes and sizes, all begging for attention. One boat that was hard to look past was Cigarette Racing’s new 41-foot SD GT3.
Many craft claim to be inspired by automobiles but you only catch the resemblance when squinting with your head titled. Not so with the SD GT3 and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with matching paint jobs and racing lines.
The race boat is powered by twin Mercury Racing 1100 engines and boats a Garmin infotainment system that was admired by many. www.cigaretteracing.com

Standing before the rocket launcher on the Viking 80 EB,
it takes only a little imagination to envision oneself fighting a monster sailfish offshore.

Just to give you a sense of how long the 80 EB feels, this shot was taken looking forward after going
through the cockpit, saloon, and galley. This boat just seems to stretch forever.

When you’re not in the cockpit, why not enjoy a seafood appetizer in the galley?

And now from the outside; much like a puppy in a Sarah McLachlan commercial,
the Viking 80 is just begging to be brought home.

From closer up, you can appreciate how the fully opening glass doors of
the Sabre 66 would flood the interior with light.

The Grand Banks 44 Eastbay would have a steady stream of guests climbing on and off throughout the show.

And the next time these lines come off, a boat will be heading home with a proud new owner.

The new Princess S65 just begs for you to come take a tour.

Anytime we see a beautiful boat from Committi we can’t help but think this would be a great boat to explore the Great Lakes, or the Keys, or Maine, or the Chesapeake, OK, this would be a fun boat to go anywhere on.

Finish Invasion. A 28-foot Finish-built Axopar first entices you with attractive European styling
but then you realize, wait a second, this is a really functional day boat.

From the Prestige 680’s expansive swim platform to a palatial flybridge,
a lot of attention was paid to the spaces where boaters spend most of their time.
