Casting Off - Mar 2005

Trophy 1952 Walkaround

The Trophy 1952 Walkaround is an easily towed fishing craft with V-berth overnight accommodations. The 3,200-pound wide-flared V-hull features fiberglass construction with a foam-filled stringer system. A self-draining fishbox, transom walk-through, storage lockers, rod holders and 13-gallon livewell are standard. Standard power is a 135-hp 3.0-liter MerCruiser. Beam is 8 feet, and the hull drafts 17 inches. Fuel capacity is 55 gallons. Suggested retail price is $23,133. Contact Trophy Boats, 800 S. Gay St., Suite 1700, Knoxville, TN 37929; (865) 582-2200; www.trophyboats.com.

Pakboats Swift Folding Kayak

At 29 pounds, and fitting into a travel bag measuring 30 by 12 by 10 inches, the Pakboats Swift Folding Kayak allows you to skip the heavy and unresponsive rentals on your next vacation. Two Swifts—complete with 4-piece paddles and life jackets—can actually be packed together as one piece of airline luggage. The 14-foot sit-inside kayak features an almost-straight keel line for straight tracking. An anodized aluminum frame provides rigidity, with dual inflatable sponsons on each side of the hull protected in sturdy sleeves, along with a heavy-duty wear strip on the keel. The inflatable seat has built-in thigh and lumbar support. Retail price is $875. Contact ScanSport, P.O. Box 700, Enfield, NH 03748; (603) 632-9500; www.pakboats.com.

Stolper 380 Tournament Express

Designers of the Stolper 380 Tournament Express paid a lot of attention to sound profile. A combination of vacuum-bagged composite foam core construction and enclosed shaft and thrust bearing system soft-coupled to the engine reduces high frequency noise while maintaining a low-frequency hull signature said to attract fish. Standard features include twin 370-hp diesels, electronic controls, recessed trim tabs, marlin tower with hardtop and complete upper station controls. A three-sided enclosure, 12,000 BTU air conditioning, 5KW generator and entertainment center with stereo, CD and color TV/DVD keep passengers comfortable. A padded 81-square-foot cockpit holds dual tackle stations with bait prep, freezer and tackle storage, transom livewell, fresh and saltwater washdowns and two insulated fish boxes. The salon features 6 feet, 3 inches of headroom and twin vee or queen berths, galley and oversized head with electric toilet and separate shower stall and dressing area. Beam is 12 feet, 2 inches, draft is 38 inches and weight is 18,500 pounds. Contact Dynatech Industries, 4313 SW Port Way, Palm City, FL 34990; (772) 220-8770; www.stolper380.com.
