Formula 34PC: Surprise Party! It's a rare boat that has earned the right to call itself a performance cruiser -- and Formula's 34PC has earned that right. It has a wave-taming deep-V hull that runs nearly 50 mph and can buttonhook turns like a bass boat with a jackplate. |

Monterey 350: Hit Record With its angularity and brawniness, the Monterey 350's low-slung profile is striking. After winding up its twin 420-hp stern drives, I screamed upriver at more than 50 mph, proving the 350's performance more than matches its looks. The 350 walks the walk and talks the talk. |
