Since ancient Polynesians first navigated the mighty Pacific Ocean, seafarers have sought ways to lend greater stability to their oceangoing boats. Polynesians built multihull sailing craft with wider beams that resisted roll to enhance comfort and safety-cutting-edge technology for 3,000 years ago that enabled this culture to navigate vast distances and settle innumerable South Pacific isles using relatively small boats.

I remember when Formula Boats debuted its first Crossover Bowrider, the 350 CBR. It was June 27, 2012-I keep my notebooks from boat tests-when we got early access aboard the new 2013 model.

Maybe you own an older boat and don't want to replace it but would love some "new boat" features such as assisted docking or a Dynamic Positioning System? Or maybe you're selling your boat and think it will sell quicker and for a higher price if it offers newer systems, such as joystick steering. You simply might desire a "glass helm" with touchscreens in place of older gauges. Or maybe lightning struck your boat, killing the current system, and an all-in-one replacement sounds great.

It's tough to please an aquatic audiophile, especially when so many marine stereos were originally designed for use on dry land. Worse yet, few boats are designed with stereos in mind. That means that speakers break, connections corrode, and you're left rocking and rolling on your boat without being able to rock out. KICKER, which has been producing audio products since 1973, set out to change all that with what they call "Real Marine®".

When I was a kid, my family lived about 45 minutes away from our boat on the East Coast. While this wasn't a big deal-the constant traffic snarls on I-95 aside-we always had to be diligent about ensuring that all switches were off before we disembarked because few things are a bigger killjoy on a much-anticipated cruising day than arriving aboard to discover flat batteries.

Loyal readers will recall that a few years ago, my good friend Chuck -Larson started a specialized bait concession, Chuck's Organic Canadian Night Crawlers-Better Tasting Worms Catch More Fish, sold exclusively from a cooler in a back room at the Lake View Inn. Like Chuck's Organic Firewood Bundles, these wiggly worms are appealing to your visiting urban-angler types, who don't flinch at paying $8 for a cup of vigorous bait, because if it's organic, it must be better.
