1 BENETEAU FLYER 32 This is the latest addition to the company’s outboard-powered dayboat line, which also includes a 23-foot model. The Flyer 32 is 32 feet, 8 inches LOA with an 11-foot beam and is powered by twin 350-hp outboards. It has Beneteau’s Air Step 2 hull ventilation system for increased speed and efficiency and a top end of more than 40 knots, according to Beneteau. The main deck features a double bench beside the helm’s two bolstered seats, as well as a C-shaped lounge set around a teak table. There’s a mini galley behind the helm that’s located across from the dinette lounge. Belowdecks are a mid-cabin berth and forward lounge that converts to a V-berth. Rounding out the space is an enclosed head/shower.

2 ALBEMARLE 31DC Albemarle of North Carolina is on a dual-console roll, having introduced the 28DC last year and now adding this 31-foot model. Extra space means more fun for anglers and their families. Like most dual consoles, this one has many seating options. The bow has two chaise lounges; farther aft are a two-person bench and a single seat near the helm. In the cockpit is an aft-facing bench that should be great for keeping an eye on the trolling spread. Twin outboards power the 31DC, either a pair of 300-hp Yamaha F300s or F350Cs. The port console has an enclosed head/shower and the starboard console has a berth and stowage. In the cockpit are fish boxes, rod holders and livewell; a mini galley is optional.
