New Boats of 2019 Tom Spencer

The current generation of production and custom sport-fishers is more diverse than ever. The coming year will see the reintroduction of a popular brand — Cabo Yachts — as well as a slew of new boats from builders such as Titan, Scarborough, Bayliss, Jarrett Bay and many more. Large convertibles remain popular, although express and walkaround models are also well-represented. The outlook is bright indeed.
