High performance boats are the sleek sports cars of the boating world, offering high speeds and precise handling to boaters who prefer their thrills full throttle. Marrying big horsepower with sleek hulls results in boats that are equally at home slicing through ocean swells or tearing up inland lakes. Cranking offshore or simply relaxing in a cove, performance boats deliver lots of smiles per hour. http://www.discoverboating.com/buying/boat/high-performance-boats

We are selling Taiga, our home for the last 13 years. Taiga is a high performance Catana catamaran designed by Lock Crowther and built in the Catana yard in France in 1997 in very good condition. This is the ocean-going model with daggerboards for sprightly upwind performance and the only Catana with a custom built, protected inside steering station. She comes complete with all stores, full complement of tools, spares, and misc dive gear. Taiga is a very comfortable liveaboard with a roomy, well thought-out galley-up design handy to the big cockpit table. The master cabin and both guest cabins have queen beds. The two heads are electric and each have a dedicated shower. Her solar array provides plenty of power. Taiga has been carefully maintained and is ready to continue cruising by just moving aboard. We are currently in Martinique, planning to head to Sint Maarten next week. We hate to give up this lovely catamaran and fabulous lifestyle, but it’s time for us to change gears. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catana-44

We go open ocean fishing on the Skeeter ZX22V. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/06/skeeter-zx22v-bay-boat-blitzkrieg-2/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com. Off to port Catalina Island was a mere smudge on the horizon, on our starboard side the California coast slid by in a blur, and dead ahead calico bass were waiting to be caught. They wouldn't have long to wait, because the Skeeter ZX22V being captained by Ben Florentino of Coastal Charters boasted 225 Yamaha horses on the transom, and was hauling its load of anxious anglers to the fishing grounds at over 30-mph. If you think that doesn't sound very fast for this rig, you're right—cruising speed is closer to 40-mph and top-end breaks 50. But remember, we were in the open Pacific. In fact, it's a testament to the way this boat is designed and built that we could even think about making our 12 mile run to Florentino's favorite kelp beds with just 22 feet of LOA. Blasting through widely-spaced three foot waves the Skeeter felt rock-solid, thanks to construction touches like a single-piece deck constructed of sandwiched layers of PVC cross-linked foam and fiberglass. Aircraft-grade aluminum ties the stringers and transom together, distributing stress throughout the structure. Hatches—many with full-length piano hinges—are injection-molded to maximize strength while minimizing weight. Aluminum backing plates are laminated into the deck where the console's attached. Build a boat with these techniques on a 20-degree deadrise hull, add in a pair of concave reverse chines, then give it strakes plus a transom set-back, and you get a boat that feels like granite underfoot yet has the grace of a gray-hounding wahoo. As we ate through the Pacific there were no rattles, vibrations, or slams to speak of. You can see what I mean in this video, which was all shot in the open ocean.
